lrp - honestly that's the exact thing I think we should do in response to pride cancellations. Pride is for us, and they can't take it away even if they close off institutions.

Well… Screw Trump! And, his MAGA. Perform ALL the events in the street. Get permits. Invite the Whole Country. Then… Performance for Protest! Kennedy Center events scheduled for LGBTQ+ pride celebration have been canceled, organizers say

It’s #InverteFest again! 🧪🐡🦋So here is my bee (and other pollinator) propaganda for Manufactured Ecosystems. Thinking about the future of pollination and seeking solutions from technological and nature-based knowledge. This is essentially my conclusion: we can aid our beleaguered pollinators 🧵

I was thrilled to hear @samseder.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social talking about bees and native plants just now! If you want to learn more about native bees check out the @xercessociety.bsky.social Here are just a few of the native bees I see here in PA #invertebrates 🌿 🐝

Earth Day was yesterday, but if you want to learn more about our native species (in the US) Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and The Xerces Society are great resources of information.

Happy Earth Day. Today, like most every day lately, I am incredibly sad about the state of ecosystems and insects in particular. I am also filled with love and curiosity for the living things I share this planet with. Let's carry that forward - curiosity is a good antidote to apathy.

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

A life tiptoeing a knife’s edge, when being trans makes you too big a threat to ignore and too few in number to be helped, or even heard.

Heavy migration along the US West Coast (Pacific Flyway) expected tonight. Birds migrate by the moon and stars, so artificial lights can confuse them. Please turn off all non-essential exterior/interior lights and close curtains/blinds between 11:00 pm tonight and 6:00 am. #birds
