New for #caturday! This is Kiko- short for Kamiko- and since we let her out of her quarantine room she taken over the house. Including the dog’s bed.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. This is part of the prompt used to identify Veterans Affairs contracts that should be canceled, or, using the very-much non-technical term "munched". www.propublica.org/article/insi...

Crappie on the fixed line today. It’s so freaking hot out. #tenkara #fixedlineangling #NC

Turns out the pub was closed. Steve and Brad are disgusted.

I can’t eat popcorn. Messes with my gut. I had Funyuns instead. Seems appropriate.

More of this. People in various fields talking about the attacks on science. The effects that are happening now and the long term degradation of systems. @standupforscience.bsky.social

“Secretary Burgum’s narrative doesn’t match the reality unfolding in our parks. The Park Service is in a full-blown staffing crisis." - Theresa Pierno, NPCA's President and CEO As reported by @maxinejoselow.bsky.social www.npca.org/articles/922...

The Senate must stop the House bill that threatens to irreparably change the National Park System as we know it. The bill eliminates IRA funding, further reduces NPS staff and accelerates energy development near public lands. Write your senator: www.npca.org/voteno

The #WellWereAllGoingToDieBill strips funding away from medicaid, hospitals & life-saving research. Because the bailout for Billionaires has to come from somewhere, doesn’t it⁉️ Senate GOP, put your big girl panties on and #killthebill.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social making North Carolina proud. Please make vacation plans for #WNC

It's an inspector's job to ensure the integrity & safety of pipeline construction to protect communities & the enviro. The allegations from the Mountain Valley Pipeline inspector at the center of this lawsuit raise serious concerns. #MVP https://loom.ly/RBW58y8

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

If you’re shocked that this is happening you haven’t been paying attention.

Buncombe County NC has the second highest unemployment rate in the state. Many of the folks worked in the hospitality sector in Asheville & lost their jobs after the storm. On top of this, many of these folks also live in communities like Swannanoa where there was affordable housing. #ncpol #WNC

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

The awesome app and website @inaturalist.bsky.social has the option to add additional "Observation Fields" to observations. For my research, I've been adding plant ID to pollinator observations. Here's a video showing how to do that. Personally I use "Interaction->Visited flower of"

A not so gentle reminder from North Carolina that today is the start of the North Atlantic hurricane season. NOAA & NWS have been DOGED. FEMA? Pay for play maybe. #ncpol #WNC #climatecrisis

Good luck with that meal from Applebees.

Just an odd looking spider sitting in a daisy. 🌱
