"Captain Planet, but more of an unhinged asshole" 💀🌈
Because I haven't posted enough about BONES on this account... fun fact: I've been cleaning, collecting, articulating skeletons for over 10 years now.

Here's a juvenile coyote skeleton, she was tragically hit by a car last summer...

First good bumblebee photo of the season! Unfortunately, she wasn't foraging on one of my native plants, (that's Creeping Charlie which snuck into the back lawn somehow) but at least she appeared to be very healthy.

The new look for MAGA, both men & women, is a grotesque mix of plastic surgery & exaggerated porn-style makeup, all designed to signal blind loyalty to a man obsessed with image over any actual policy. "Mar-a-Lago face" is a disturbing display of submission to Trump's toxic, narcissistic power trip.
In your face: The brutal aesthetics of MAGA
Does proximity to power rely on a specific look?

Economic blackout day! I still went to my favorite locally owned coffee shop, showing them a little extra love by purchasing a 40$ box of handmade chocolates, in addition to my usual order of a single chai latte ☕️✨️

This morning, for the first time in my life, I phoned my state Senators to voice my grave concerns about Elon Musk.......

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Don't mind the pavement in the background. Patchy front lawns and "hell strips" are ideal for small, beginner friendly pollinator gardens.

This female striped sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is nourished by our Echinacea planting.

Our front lawn pollinator pathway, same perspective as yesterday's post. Photo taken July 2024... we had a lot of annual Fleabane volunteers last year.

My Eastern prickly pear, Opuntia humifusa, has been loving and expanding on its home (our front lawn) since it was first installed in May 2021

Also, this shouldn’t need be said aloud - but if you think that using AI-generated photos of Trump & Musk as naked & fat to bully and shame them

is useful or helpful to democracy, then you should check the age on your driver’s license and make sure you made it past the 5th grade.
