3 days since the other one got out! The chrysalis is still bright green. Am watching! 👀

You took a chrysalis to Texas? How did you store it? Did you just pull it from where it was hanging? That’s amazing! The kids must have loved it!!!

Makes a better world! Birds AND Butterflies, AND Bees! I kind of squint my eyes and my whole garden is alive!

Yes, like a teeny gold zipper. Mine are laying their eggs and growing up on the milkweed plants. Is it better to bring them in?

I’ve been watching this butterfly chrysalis hanging from my birdbath… yesterday it was EMPTY!😱 I’m new at this so I thought something got it. But no, just below it, supping on yarrow, there it was!💃🏻 We grow butterflies in our butterfly #garden You’re welcome earth, it’s the least we can do. 💞💞💞

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Not even about politics. It’s about this, the Epstein files, & other assorted corruption by the rich and powerful.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Sorry, no. I’ve eaten kale and I don’t have autism. 😊

Trouble is, I’m still on Twitter too, and it is a true hell hole over there! There is no converting going on. It’s talking to walls. Making sure to put out actual news, but they are meaner than ever. And I’m not even mean! They have everything they wanted and they’re STILL mad! 😳

Susan Branch @dearsusanbranch.bsky.social · 20d

Gorgeous!

Have to show you this rose we planted this spring! It’s like a watercolor… no two flowers are the same. Do you have it? It lasts a long time in a vase, looks beautiful until the bitter end. Called Double Delight. Fragrant! And prolific! My new favorite! #rose #garden
