Remember yesterday when the temp was in the 70’s and I was telling everyone not to pack up their winter gear? Welcome to false spring!

We are proud to be a co-host of the 2025 Midwest Beaver Summit. Register to learn more about the ecological importance of beavers to our region and how we can coexist with them. whova.com/portal/regis... #beavers #MidwestBeaverSummit #wetlands #wildlife #water #climateresilience

The focus of our March 2nd Grief Retreat stemmed from a poem by @atenaoyadi.bsky.social called Mending. Around a fire we wove w dogwood & on looms, mended clothes, had foods/teas made w care, and reflected on rest & community care. It was such a thoughtful lovely day! Our next one is on June 22nd

What’s the role of care in movements? How do we show up for each other tangibly in repressive times? Chicago folks, come join me & @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, Bill Ayers (@underthetreepod.bsky.social) & Anya Tanyavutti at @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social to discuss! pilsencommunitybooks.com/events/45361

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

We got to look at abeaver lodge up close today. We also got to see several muskrat lodges as well. Beavers are a keystone species because their habitats support so many other species. We love our beavers at Wonderland and yes, we make a lot of inappropriate beaver jokes. 😜🦫❤️

A hearty stew of memes for you. 😘

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Trump “can only spew this fanatical bullshit because of bipartisan support in Congress for funding genocide,” said Rep. Rachida Tlaib. “He’s perfectly fine cutting off working Americans from federal funds while the funding to the Israeli government continues flowing.”

my god PLEASE do not sign up online for an organized general strike via a slick looking website claiming hundreds of thousands have already registered. even if it's not a honeypot, it's still going to be a honeypot.

The smell of molasses cookies & lilies. Time spent w/ cats, dogs and very loved humans. Foraging with birds. The feel of cold cheeks and warm thrifted LL Bean sweaters. Hands busy with puzzles. Minds busy cracking jokes. Hearty stews steaming up the kitchen. Planting and plotting for spring.

Engaging things I’ve read/watched/listened to this month. Bad Bunny’s new album is the medicine you need if you are deficient in joy. ❤️

One easy thing you can do today is to sign a solidarity pledge to help fight back against our government's ongoing cruel and inhumane actions. It takes people power to bring about the necessary change our communities need. #SolidarityPledge www.solidaritypledge.org

The barrage is dizzying. They want us disoriented and in despair. To defend ourselves and others, focus is key. Play by play reactions to every harmful act and utterance won’t help you or others. Focus on what you can do (& where you can be most impactful), and remember that you can’t do everything.

“I never see you at the club.” Ok? I never see you in our downstairs unfinished kitchen salting a deer hide. I’m midway through tanning my first hide, fingers crossed it turns out well. 🤞
