I often think of Mayor Lucano, ever since reading about him. Mayor of a dying southern Italian town of 500 people, who rescued it by giving migrants a home in the many empty homes and abandoned buildings, which the right wing Italian government treated as a crime. time.com/6104836/dome...

Superb Fairywren sketch. I like to draw (via Zoom) with a friend in the States, and this is what I did yesterday with her. Every drawing is practice for the next.

"We find no evidence that people love doing nothing" Participants of Germany's largest UBI study kept working, with no change in hours worked. They were more likely to enroll in university or change jobs. Basic income changes how you work, not whether you work.

An incredible experience today. The Agami Heron is a very rare species and one that's difficult to see. But today I made a new friend who discovered a rookery with over 300 of these incredible birds that are on a new property he bought. Agami Island #CostaRica #birds #nature #herons #heron

Making people dependent on charity — in any form — comes at the cost of human dignity. That’s why Universal Basic Income is not just economically sound, but morally and civically superior. It replaces dependence with autonomy, and pity with respect!

www.scottsantens.com/how-money-is... Oh this is a deep but good read on how money/tax/currency works (TLDR - Money is a social construct and the govt can make more if it wants to) and is a good component of the conversation on UBI. #UniversalBasicIncome

With bird cavity nesters, we have those that create the cavities and those that use them years later. And then we have chickadees, they kinda do a bit of both. #birds

Big log for a big milestone! 🪵 Ume is now four months old, 214 pounds, and still prefers logs for her teething chompers. The endangered tapir has a new teething log behind the scenes to help her out (and give mom, Yuna, a much-needed break 😅). Ume’s been busy gnawing and nibbling away like a pro! 💗

Reporters Without Borders says there have been 27 attacks on journalists in LA so far, 24 by LEO, 3 by others. That's a lot. If you haven't seen it, there's video of an officer appearing to target this Australian correspondent while she's on air. rsf.org/en/usa-rsf-c...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The fact that protestors started destroying driverless cars is a signal, as is all the celebration of this destruction. There is already anger about the jobs and income being displaced by AI before any universal basic income is implemented. A likely rallying cry — no automation without compensation!

This tiny jumping spider was wandering around on the top of a leaf and scooted to the underside. I gently coaxed her back to the top and ta-da! She had a snack, what looks like an even smaller spider. Peppered Jumping Spider (Pelegrina galathea) PA

An amazing, colorful sawfly that was out puttering around the local meadow today. These insects are in the same family as ants, bees, and wasps, but lack a narrow waist, which is a good way to tell a sawfly from a wasp.

Potter wasps are pretty common around here, but I'd never seen a nest until today. Check out this fabulous bit of insect made masonry on the stem of a plant. It's amazing. Fraternal Mason Wasp (Eumenes fraternus) on the left and a Potter Wasp Nest, right
