When in doubt, admire the butterflies in your yard..🌱 #butterflies #gardens #flowers

The irises are in their glory this week! (I don't have names for them, just think they're beautiful) #irises #gardening

It was a beautiful day at #SwallowFalls Park at Deep Creek, MD last week.

Greg read and annotated AFT's 24 page "guardrail" document. Read the whole thread.

Here is a picture of tonight's sunset from our church parking lot. I saw it as I was reading of the terrible events at #BrownU. It's amazing to see all the beauty and ugliness at the same time. Prayers to everyone there #sunset #photography

It's starting to look like Christmas at the homestead. 🎄 #ChristmasTree #Lights

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: We are not prepared.

Finally got one of the monarch butterflies 🦋 to sit long enough for a couple of quick pics. We have at least 2, maybe 3, in the zinnias, or what's left of them. #garden #butterfly #insects

Funniest looking butterfly I've seen since far... ,^) #gardening #prayingmantis #insects

Well, this was unexpected! #wordle Wordle 1,544 2/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

So excited to see the friends showing up at my zinnia garden. #garden #flowers #butterfly

In the midst of the chaos, here's a little video of a butterfly enjoying the zinnias in my flower garden. #gardening #butterflies #zinnias

This is sloppy reporting from the NYT. Calling something "money" implies that it can be used as a currency. That's not the case for crypto; it's just a speculative commodity. And saying that stablecoins are have a fixed value is belied by the fact that they have consistently failed to be stable.

Two days in a row with a 2/6! Waiting for the other shoe to drop shortly. Wordle 1,508 2/6 🟨⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A couple of friends who have admired our zinnias lately #gardening #garden #butterflies #flowers

Had a visitor to my zinnias this afternoon.

Sorry for the quality (taken on my phone, through a window with a screen), but this chickadee seems to prefer my zinnias over the bird food. He's been here a couple of times. #birds

Save the date: July 19, 2025! Local booksigning in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Details here: cvbt.org/event/glorio...

The students will help people complete and submit a “Motion to Change Hearing Format,” which can allow someone to have a remote/online hearing instead of in-person. hotline # is (888)462-5211 They can help in English or Spanish

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Show a moment from TV/film that broke your heart.

This is so short-sighted and devastating. My wife was diagnosed in 2009, and we spend literally all year fundraising to find a cure. The progress over the past 20 years has been phenomenal, and to kill funding now destroys that progress. #MSsucks

Mamma and Papa Bluebirds enjoying a little sunshine after giving their babies breakfast (2 babies in the birdhouse) 🦉🐦

Another little stroll through my flower gardens yesterday...🌱

I meant to include the 🦉 to get this into birder feed.

Papa bluebird is serving breakfast this morning! 🦉🐦

A few of my favorite roses in the garden today. 🌱

A stroll through my garden of irises today...🌱

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Why support indie bookstores? 👉 shopping local = most of your $ stays local 👉 staffed by actual humans who understand books (no AI/algorithms here!) 👉 hubs for community 👉 independent = not run by billionaires 👉 freedom to read = a pillar of democracy

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

It's getting really colorful around my yard!🌱

Bluebird family update. This is the pair, with the birdhouse they are moving into. The 2nd pic is mama trying to get into our house (as they've been doing most of the day). 3rd pic is papa just hanging out. All taken from our living room window. 🦉

Well, I love birds, and especially bluebirds, but I have one right now trying to break into my house to build a nest in our chandelier! Hopefully, it's the Bluebird of Happiness! 🦉
