Check these girthy fellas from the phallus genus I found next to the sidewalk. Stinkhorns pretty sure.

They certainly didn’t smell nice.

This mushroom is missing its cap… I think? How did this happen? Or is it just how it is?

That moment you get back in your space after traveling for many hours and being at the mercy of airlines and security and schedules… #travel #relief #home

The ants emerge!! On our walk, there was a mass of ant activity, clearing cleaning out nests and expanding tunnels. The world continues to come alive. #ants #photography #urbannature

First flower in the open space! Taken on the 14th and definitely wasn't open on the 13th. Good stuff is about to happen....

This lizard fella. His tail got yanked at some point, and I love the shimmery blue on his underside. His big ol' head was blocking the sun from illuminating his side, and he was very skittish. next time! #lizards #photography #urbannature

She was struggling. Those pollen pouches were making it hard for her to stay aloft. #bees #spring #photography #flowers

I called for an independent investigation into Donald Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education, and now, it's happening.

This investigation will reveal what's at stake for families.

While Trump and Musk side with billionaires, I'll side with our kids.

What bugs me: Trump and supporters are so obsessed with not being taken advantage of that they can’t ask if it matters.
We are absurdly wealthy. So what if people are taking advantage of the US economy?! The vast majority aren’t, but even if they were, we can embrace it and not notice the impact
