Beautiful! Leaf-cutter bees swaddle their babies with a blanket of leaves or petals. 😍🐝

Melissa McMasters @melissamactn.bsky.social · Sep 21

What a treat to watch this leafcutter bee bring the petals of a blanketflower back to line her nest, transforming a drainage hole into its own kind of bloom.
#bees #Inverts

A bee with a black-and-white striped abdomen, with yellow pollen stuck to the underside, carries a bright red flower petal into a small hole in a concrete wall that she has already lined with many other petals.

The bee emerges from the nest, which looks like the top of a flower that has been stuck into the small drainage hole.

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 1d

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Remember kids, correlation is not causation. Here is a good, seasonal, spurious correlation

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 1d

This is a figure from disgraced physician Peter McCullough’s report claiming that vaccines cause autism.

The red line, added by me, depicts maternal consumption of pumpkin spice products.

His group still does not understand correlation vs causation.

Screenshot of figure showing correlation between vaccine doses and reports of ASD.l, to which I added another line showing maternal intake of pumpkin spice products.

The legend says Figure 2. Autism Prevalence and Cumulative Vaccine Doses Through the Second Birthday, 1970-2018. The number of vaccine doses recommended for U.S. children by age two (green triangles) is plotted alongside autism prevalence estimates per 10,000 children (blue squares), derived from both early epidemiologic studies (pre-2000) and CDC ADDM Network reports (2000 onward). Polynomial trend lines demonstrate strong parallel increases in cumulative vaccine exposure during early childhood and the reported prevalence of autism across successive birth cohorts. Permission to use this figure was obtained from Children's Health Defense.?9
