Love Notes from Nature calendars turned out SO good. There are lots of reasons they're great
1) Each month has facts about the animal of the month
2) Each month has information about how we can help these animals
3) Your order funds our 2026 Philly Native plant project!

Here’s the switchboard number for the House 202-225-3121 and the Senate 202-224-3121. You don’t need to make a speech. Just tell your reps yes or no on a particular vote. It’s that simple. They DO keep tallies, but they can’t read your minds. Calling & writing is like voting. Get in the habit.
Believe it or not, emailing/faxing your representatives to say "I am deeply unhappy about this for the following reasons" gives them ammunition to use on the floor. They quote constituent letters all the time. It won't do squat if he declares martial law + shreds the constitution but here we are

Very cool. Also, I would mind going into a torpor state for the next 4 years or so.

Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.

Terrible news today:
This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating.
Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released.

Still not sure I’m going to do this. I’m waffling now. I’d like to mess with the algorithm over there
I googled this. Once you deactivate your Twitter acct, it takes 30 days of not using it until it’s deleted. So I have about 25 days left. Your data is still there until the 30 days of non use is up. Then it’s gone forever.
