“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” — Alice Walker
Even if you don’t feel it, every act of resistance matters. From where you spend your money to refusing to be silent, no act is too small.

A lovely butterfly that I found up above the Bribri community of Salitre in #CostaRica
I believe this is a Tracta Sister (Adelpha tracta)

Please take pictures of anything you observe in the wild, especially after Hurricane Melissa.
I found this mushroom in Millbank, Portland and uploaded the photo to @iNaturalist so other experts can help identify it. It also becomes a valuable record of the species in Jamaica.

Despite myths and legends, the Mojave rattlesnake isn’t aggressive–it’s misunderstood. They avoid danger and defend when necessary. This beautiful desert snake plays a key ecological role and deserves curiosity, not fear.

Meanwhile, while we do our best to attract tourists, our own government does the opposite.
The Trump administration is raising national parks' prices and adding fees for international tourists from next year in an "America-first" initiative, the Interior Department announced.
Trump admin hikes national parks prices by up to $170 for international tourists
The Interior Department said the "America-first" policy will see "resident-only patriotic fee-free days" on some holidays.

This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe.
My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014.
I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍
About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.
