Always remember, pollinators and other biodiversity need our help and they are in great decline. Plant native plants, go as long as possible between mowings, and welcome the wildlife your new ecosystem attracts! #GreauxNative #nativeplants

Whether it's No Mow May or Let It Bloom June or Leave The Leaves, homeowners are finding more ways to adopt a low mow lifestyle instead of keeping up with short, manicured lawns.

Until sitting Dems in congress are *physically preventing further harm to their constituents* from this administration, they aren't doing enough. Literally ignore protocol. That's what your opponents are doing daily! Quite literally barge in to office spaces.

On the three year anniversary of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, Donald Trump turned his back on Ukraine. Three things are clear: Donald Trump is not king. Vladimir Putin is a dictator. Volodymyr Zelensky is not a dictator.

UPDATE: President Trump insisted he will move forward with his vision for the U.S. to "take" the Gaza Strip, move its residents to Jordan and other Arab nations, and redevelop the heavily damaged territory.

Avian flu isn’t just about egg prices - can you spare anything to help my friends protect their birds?

Merrymac Farm Sanctuary@merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social

We need your help. At Merrymac we have almost 100 bird friends so we’re obviously terrified by the spread of bird flu. We’ve been scrambling to get new procedures, equipment, and structures in place but it has been expensive. Can you donate to help us save our flock? donorbox.org/mmfs-protect...

There should be a law that says every presidential candidate must venture to space and smoke a joint there to truly see the Earth and appreciate the world and the people who live here. Or mandated therapy.

A historic Black church in D.C. that was vandalized by members of the extremist Proud Boys in 2020 has secured the group’s naming rights, allowing the institution to seek proceeds from sales of the organization’s merchandise and membership dues.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

There is only one way for anyone who was involved with Musk’s PR to regain their honor. And they should do it on livestream.

I know I keep saying this, but every center-left pundit who burnished Elon Musk's credentials should be sick with shame right now.

Our herd of yearling goats includes several brown and black ones that can all look the same to newcomers, but when you get to know them their individual personalities really shine and you notice little quirks in their coloring - for instance, sweet Miles has little eyebrows!

My wife predicted this three days ago. “They are gonna ‘let’s go Brandon’ the Nazi salute, aren’t they?”

It has come to my attention people don’t realize the neo Nazis are using “my heart goes out to you” as a way to reference Hitler saluting, so now you know.

If he walks like a duck and acts like a duck, he's a duck whether he says it or not. Believe someone when they show you who they truly are. He's a Nazi spreading hate. It is everyone's job that sees this hatred to stand up and NOT stay silent.

I've got a small garden pond made out of a kiddie pool that's stocked with minnows and a few tadpoles. I thought for sure that they all died when the water turned to slush, but nope, nature prevailed once more. The minnows are fine and a handful out of the hundreds of tadpoles have made it so far.
