Many HOA's are preventing #homegrownnationalpark and adding to the catastrophic extinction crisis wildlife is facing.

To me, our native wild hyacinth (Camassia scolilloides) is much more interesting than the ones found so readily in grocery stores and gardening centers around here. This little hoverfly seems to think so, too. 🌱

F___ Qatar’s “palace in the sky.” We are a republic. We don’t have palaces or princes, on earth or in the sky.

Fully thought Trump was meeting with a burned up skeleton

Biologists say that a crow can see your face just once and remember you 10 years later so never borrow $20 from a crow.

We just had our last frost Friday, and now they're calling for temps to hit 90 Thursday, with not nearly enough rain anytime soon. It would be nice to, you know, have a Spring where I don't have to immediately run up the water bill watering my seedlings. [insert Old Man Yells at Cloud gif].

Maybe we'll have better luck this time around

I bet this feels really good if you're a fruit

Yes, of course. It only counts as a bribe if someone says, "Hello. I am bribing you. Will you accept this bribe while we record this conversation?" and they say, "Yes. I am accepting your bribe in exchange for the action we both wrote down and signed together. Thank you for your corruption."

To be honest, I'm kind of a fan of this new feature. (apologies to the great Gary Larson)

My daughter's kindergarten class just learned about the presidents and now she recognizes the stupid asshole every time he's on TV and it's getting harder to not say anything she might repeat later (She's already become a little too precocious after hearing me during the Bears' last season).

Happy #MothersDay

Just a quick reminder, don't forget to call Mom today.

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

A judge arrested. A mayor arrested. Next an opposing member of Congress or the Senate will be arrested. And then, and then and then. The fascism is worse every day. Wake up.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)

it is imperative we get stephen miller out of the oval office

If Hans Landa was his masterpiece, just imagine the fun Lt. Aldo Raine could have with this Sistine Chapel of a nazi noggin.

“Bustin’ makes me feel good”

In Denmark, there are supermarkets where all products are expired but still edible. For those who need to save money, and to combat food waste. — The name of these stores: “WeFood”. Humanity is that simple.

READ. THE. SUBHEAD.

holy crap a friend just sent me this, dude was randomly on the fox broadcast of game 1 of the '05 world series

This one may be my favorite

Just saw my first ruby-throated hummingbird of the year!

he will have no one near him but Nature herself; and her he takes to wife in the wilderness of waters, and the best of wives she is, though she keeps so many moody secrets

thy hotdogs shalt be dragged through thine garden

As first order of business, all babies are now required to be baptized in au jus and anointed with giardiniera.

I'm content enough knowing God is.

The gophers escaped our rodent enclosure. All fences were locked. We'll figure it out.

30,000 poppies are now on display the Tower of London for VE Day. A beautiful tribute.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

Some of the study results suggest that we are “seeing fundamental changes to the environments around us.” from @theguardian.com via @climatedesk.org

Happy Cinco de Mayo to those who celebrate

Instead of waking up every morning and thinking about how it's all going down the tubes, I keep reminding myself: There are many, many people who are keeping their heads down, doing what they can, quietly discharging their responsibilities and avoiding attention. I know some of them. Focus on that.

Putting a cape on a penguin won’t make it fly. We know that now.

Help me, Obi-Wan Zamboni, you're my only hope. #Maythe4th #StarWars

I feel like if we could prop up a man sized box with a stick and a string and write “Proof vaccines cause autism inside” we could capture RFK Jr.

To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

Developing: The White House has confirmed they are planning a military parade for the world’s most famous draft dodger.
