Countless Americans are enduring Trump’s vengeance. Far too few experience Christian kindness. It is a great tragedy of our time that so many Christians see Trump’s malice as an instrument of God’s divine plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/o...

Inspired by @mothyblackburn.bsky.social's "The Jewel Box", I set up a moth trap this summer ... and behold, one of the most precious gems there is, the Hologram! I never thought I'd be so lucky as to be visited by one here on the farm. Moths are amazing. #Leptember #Moths #MothsMatter

It's time to play Spot The Moth™️ again. Beware: this one's reeeeally tricky! Moths are amazing. #Leptember #Moths #MothsMatter #MothMonday

Excited to see this guy again after a three-year gap. He is the Large Maple Spanworm, and he wins, hands down, the award for Most Likely To Blend In With The Autumn Leaves. Moths are amazing. #Leptember #Moths #MothsMatter #TeamMoth

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Featuring the Agreeable Tiger Moth yet again for #MothFaceFriday Found him near the sweet corn in our garden yesterday Moths are amazing ... and sometimes quite cuddly-looking #Moths #MothsMatter #Leptember #Naturephotography

He couldn't stop himself from throwing in the "like we've never seen before" flourish, and it's the only thing that sounds the least bit fluid in this stilted, awkward "oration."

*siiiiiiigggghhhh*

So heartwarming to see a second generation of American Coppers visiting the newly-planted prairie today #Leptember #NativePlants #Butterflies

Summer appears to be back in western Wisconsin. For how long, who knows, but this guy is drinking it all in while he can. Nature is amazing. #Butterflies #Leptember #Naturephotography

If it’s not Trump’s signature in Epstein’s birthday book, then let’s make all his executive orders null and void because the signatures on those can’t be his either.
