President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

irrevocably dating myself by responding to this article with a gif of Alexis from Schitt's Creek saying "ew"

Thank u @bugmom.bsky.social for teaching us about the Telluride Mushroom Festival and its fungal costume parade. From _false_face on Instagram:

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

FIRST OF ALL,

One of the most impactful things that people can do in this moment is to feed people. To find multiple ways to do this in communities.

Fuck anyone saying "if this were happening to any other community" when it comes to anti rights backslides and threats to community events. We are all of us facing escalating hate crimes and all of us have been for a long time.

We hold both the US and Israeli governments responsible for the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank; for the siege and starvation imposed on the people of Gaza; and for the widespread destruction of homes, infrastructure, and land.

Currently staring daggers at the pesticide guy here to spray my neighbors yard. Bitch

I believe Sun Tzu wrote "if the most unflattering pic of your enemy that you can find still makes her look like an absolute smoke show, one must find a different battlefield"

Every time I see a monarch butterfly I think about Homero Gómez González and Raúl Hernández Romero. People romanticize activism, but protecting land, water, forests, and communities has always come with danger. If activism were glamorous and safe, everyone would do it.

(*me trying to force someone to put on the One Ring*) Oh my God, it's just a TOOL. It only goes bad for people who don't know what they're doing! Oh, you think Sauron destroying the land is bad? Digging up hobbit holes is way worse for the environment. It's actually classist you won't put it on.

Good Morning from this pretty lil lady (eastern box turtle) that was strolling through the back yard just now 🌱 Look at that tail 🥹 #goodmorning #turtlethursday #throwthattailthursday

My favorite part about rainstorms is seeing the native plants in action. We have drainage ditches on our street to ferry the storm water to the river. My neighbors ditches are filled with grass, mine with native plants (goldenrod, mostly).

A visitor just now in the front garden. This is why we do it (bites knuckles and cries) 🌱 #monarch #nativeplants #bloomscrolling

Be smart, not toxic. Check out Doug Tallamy's wildlife-friendly bucket #mosquito larvae traps. For fetid gutters after the rain, try its active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) sold as "Mosquito Bits" in hardware stores homegrownnationalpark.org/mosquito-buc... #gardening #health

My journey with chronic illness continues into its sixth year. Here’s the story.

dead ass good morning

Last night, ICE purposefully targeted medic, pacifist & veteran Adam Marshall, an organizer with Eyes on ICE, while he was trying to help protestors at Delaney Hall who had been gassed three times. They slammed him to the ground and ripped off his gas mask. He was arrested and dumped 10 miles away.

The office was created a year ago and seemingly named for a far-right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations. It now works, a source says, with little to no oversight. www.wired.com/story/the-st...

My theory that some people only have kids so they can do fascism remains undefeated, I feel.

America is currently, actively in a literacy and comprehension crisis. I say that to illustrate one thing. STOP ARGUING WITH THESE DUMB HEAUXS online. You’re arguing with heauxs who get their ass BEAT by the word “calendar” and don’t know the difference between “They’re, and their.”

“This is a message to the entire world we are a people oppressed and suffering at the hands of the Israeli army, which kills innocent people from our community every day. We appeal to the entire world to protect the people of Gaza."

seeing so many "sportsball" posts today and it's so gauche. it's fine to not follow/care about sports, but let's not pretend your refusal to participate in communal excitement makes you special/interesting. your scorn doesn't make you superior, and "sportsball" is le-epic-random-bacon tacky.

The most severely ill cannot communicate with us. We sometimes hear from them through their caregivers. Through the power of the internet some of the severely ill can communicate outward but there is a cost. So any effort they make should be honored.

This is currently my favorite part of the front yard 🌱 Some #nativeplants #gardening #chaosgardening

📍Naples, Italy | on May 24th, protesters took the street and carried a 75 meter long banner reading thousands of names of children killed by Israel as they protest against the genocide.

Funding science education projects, while paying local artists for their work, while making you all look cool as hell in marine biology shirts, is shrimply the best way to make good stuff happen. At least I think so. Speaking of which... Have you seen our latest shirt?? SquidFacts.net

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

A little tattered and torn but still beautiful #TransArtMay

What's required to get down the skinniest chimneys?

here's the astros radio call of that no hitter for the sickos

Inea’s story is one of home, tradition, and memory over generations.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

I have to convince my neighbors to buy another ~50 native plants before I leave for Connecticut on June 5th (doing a mural in Willimantic!!!). I’m worried they’ll die while I’m gone if they don’t get into bigger pots. If you’re a Philly person and want to plant any of these species, get at me!

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

Speaking to a friend last night and her concern for her trans son's welfare was so upsetting to hear. He's just not leaving the house. If you have or work in a pub or bar, please can you make it clear to customers that you run a safe space? People are scared and your support isn't taken as a given.

Taking pictures everyday of these eastern prickly pear flowers for as long as they will be there. I love them 🌱 Also, Bart picked out a Virginia creeper at the nursery that turned out to have Joe Pye weed and Carolina wild petunia in the same container!!! #goodmorning #bloomscrolling #nativeplants

Your kids are not your property and a lot more people need to be told that

if you have a child with a disability/chronic illness, do not put them on social media even if it makes you personally feel better about your worries. There are other ways to connect with people in similar situations, to build community.

My favorite from this week #wildflowerhour

The Eastern Prickly Pear we got from the nursery is blooming!!! I’m in love 🌱 #bloomscrolling #nativeplants

I love seeing butterflies in the garden. All of their host plants are natives. I think that helped me turn a corner. I’ve also always considered myself to be an environmentalist, but I think the carrot approach is more effective than the stick.
