I patch up injured animals, raise orphaned baby critters, & grow a lot of plants. I also think most bugs are cool as hell. https://ko-fi.com/southernflyingsquirrelgirl if you want to help me with animal rescue supplies.

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Alt text: A young crow sits in an oak tree, picking at leaves. (I dunno why, but alt text is glitchy as hell on my phone, I write it & it erases it when I try to hit the button to post it. After about 3 times of that I give up & come write it on my laptop.)

The pure, unadulterated joy I feel watching him go from a bloodied, ripped up wing to being able to do THIS...There's nothing like it. And some area crows are starting to watch us daily & get closer. I'm so excited to see him interact with them & learn crow secrets that I can't impart. #birds

One day in the lab, we accidentally discovered that the spines of a cactus 🌵 straighten when exposed to fog. I was intrigued and so were my collaborators. How does this work and what can be gained from it? Here are some of the answers in our new preprint:

He is up in a very tall cedar tree rn. Fuck yes it's so delightful to watch him get good at flying.

Here's a pretty good one I got when he was doing his weird neck-sunning thing.

A young crow has his neck craned to the side, and his mouth is wide open. It's pink inside. He has pale gray-blue eyes.

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."
