With temperatures finally above freezing for the first time in the past 12 days, I'm glad I took a few branches from my red maple to force indoors. I like having a reminder Spring is around the corner and it's a nice way to get through the doldrums before everything starts waking up outside. 🌱

🌿 new plant species found in national park. We can’t sell off our natural parks if for no other reason than that they hold undiscovered species like this new one. Plus all the other reasons we can’t sell our shared natural heritage.

America's best idea: National parks. America's worst idea: Electing a President whose number one priority was staying out of jail.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If your dog has ratter tendencies and/or an established body count, time to stop letting them run off-leash or be unsupervised in yards where rats run. As if anti-coagulant poisons weren’t enough of a worry, now rats can carry bird flu too. #gardening #ScienceMatters #GardenDogs #DogsOfBluesky 🌱

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Congressional Dem leaders, this is how it's done. So proud to have JB as my governor.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

What GOP voters have no concept of this that Trump, Musk, Fox News and others have no respect for them. They lie to them constantly. They assume they have no thinking ability. And my guess is in the backrooms they laugh at the GOP voters and how much they are able to con them.

As snow recedes in coming weeks (mid-March - early April) you may encounter a hard-to-believe juxtaposition...a butterfly on snow. Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) pictured in such a scenario. Comma and Tortoiseshell #butterfly overwinter as adults, break hibernation with snow patches on ground.

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Call me crazy but I'd rather have qualified experts in charge of things like, say, public health and nuclear security.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Over the weekend, one of my good friends from high school died in a car accident, and today we found out the driver that hit him was driving drunk. I'm so mad at the world and all the needless pain his family has to go through right now. Goddammit, don't fucking drink and drive.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

The only comprehensible way to understand what’s happening is these miscreants are abusing their power to dismantle our democratic govt, destroy our democratic alliances to further enrich themselves and ally with dictatorships around the world. Pain, suffering, stability, security—they don’t care.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”
