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...

A head-on view of a small Canine skull, surrounded by a loose pile of its other bones.

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?

Something positive! My Desmodium canadense seedlings are looking amazing!! Can't wait to get these babies in the ground...

Three biodegradable "peat pots" in a sunny window. Each pot has 2 or 3 healthy, green, 4 inch tall native plant seedlings growing out of it.

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 ☕️✨️

"The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling: their ideas, their notion of inevitability.

We may be many & they be few but they need us more than we need them.

Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: we may be many and they be few but they need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. ― Arundhati Roy, War Talk

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.

A close-up of a striped sweat bee foraging on purple Echinacea flower. The flower is part of my front lawn pollinator pathway, and in the background is the grey pavement of the road.

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.

A view as seen from the foot of our driveway. Looking out over a roadside hedge of native wils flowers, including orange butterfly weed, yellow coreopsis, and tall annual Fleabane.

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.
For the love of Pete Buttigieg, please consider that posting AI generated images of Trump & Musk on a platform that Trump & Musk are banned from isn’t going to do jack squat for democracy OR the limited supply of water that these wasteful AI technologies use to cool down their data centers.
