A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

Great interview with Krystle Hickman, a wonderful photographer & community scientist who I'm lucky to know. She first learned about native bees as an adult and is not a trained scientist, and has since made important scientific contributions and inspired countless people (including me). 🌿🐙📷 #BugSky

Preparedness tips National Weather Service is asking media partners to pass along for both the snow/ice and cold.

Today, Minnesota is shutting down in solidarity. It could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/minnesotas-general-strike-and-americas

🚨 Major update: more ice, higher outage risk • More sleet, less pure snow, some spots could get 1–3" of sleet on top of snow (very heavy) • Freezing rain risk up S of Beltway; outage risk growing, esp. S MD • Clear early, often: this will harden quickly Link: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

i know this is so fucking small compared to what other people are going through rn but i'm so angry and heartbroken bc mi hermanita sent me a package full of spanish goods and souvenirs from cambodia and viet nam she got for us and some customs mook popped the tape and took a knife to the contents.

there is a paper wasp that showed up a few weeks back and has been wandering between the kitchen and bathroom. it's not hostile and i've let it be, gently working around it when necessary. it took up residence in the bathroom a few days ago and has been hanging out on a square of toilet paper since.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend on its own. It bends because people organize, resist, and refuse to comply with injustice — again and again, even when the path is hard.

trying to scrub the cottage floors clean of the nasty litter spots the previous occupant left all over one of the rooms and i just keep staring at the bradford pears perfectly outside the window and plotting its demise

MINNESOTA: Friday is a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action. Plus, there will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

made almost a gallon of apple juice yesterday and half about a gallon of applesauce ready to make, plus 9qts of bone broth from some chicken drums and a turkey carcass looking forward to making the applesauce and some potato leek soup tomorrow

i need to start my planting for spring bc the emergence of tiny leaves on these fig cuttings is giving me free serotonin whenever i go peer at them

i have been reading a lot about best rooting practices/old tried-and-true methods and a guy noted figs could root in just plain air if the humidity was high enough can confirm

The Senate is scheduled to be out on recess next week. That means we have an opportunity to make sure our senators hear directly from their constituents about the necessity of reining in ICE. Demand that your senators use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good.

Registration is open for this year’s domestic BugShot macro photography workshop. I’ve attended a bunch of them, (both domestic and international versions) and have enjoyed every one. The instructors are awesome and I’ve made many friends among fellow attendees. www.bugshot.net/bugshot-new-...

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

Crafters, if you would like something to work on capitalstitchco has released this pattern for free. The creator has said that in lieu of purchasing the pattern, put that money towards immigrants rights orgs of your choice. You can alter this for knitting & crochet too! 🧶 #knitsky #craftivism

Excellent instructional video pass it on

also, i started making yogurt at home from a balkan strain and it has been fairly successful for a month or so. still haven't totally dialed in the time in the heat chamber for the desired consistency but it has all been enjoyable and edible. i've made some kefir too but only the most recent is okay

sorry i've been MIA. trying to get my mental in order and not doing fantastic, but i need to keep documenting for future me's sake. he'll be mad if i don't. got more cuttings from my in-laws' ancestral figs tree and this time i did a couple things differently. yesterday, i confirmed 4 growing buds.

Ridiculously plush fly, Lordotus zona, probably

It's day 14 of the invertebrate macro photo #ArtAdventCalendar. Here, have some planthoppers 😘

Day 8 of my 2025 Favorites: You Can Handle The Floof Rosy maple moths emerge fairly regularly in my yard, and occasionally I'm lucky enough to find a fresh one who wants a nice spot to rest and let their wings dry. Like my hand. Look at him 🩷

Day 2 of my 2025 Favorites: When Ms Grabby Hands visited my car and sat for a portrait I had a good number of mantidfly encounters this year, but this one gave me the prettiest photo op, chilling on my car windshield before work one morning 🤎

Finally have time to upload things to Sketchfab. Here's the dead eel I found at an aquarium store! Thanks to the generosity of the store owner, everyone can see the scary extra jaws these guys have! sketchfab.com/3d-models/sn...

happy first snow of the year to all those who celebrate (us)

This is SUCH a good list!! Sooo many of our favorite places and organizations along our tour routes and in our usual stomping grounds 🧡

Went for a stroll at Crabtree Nature Center yesterday to take advantage of beautiful warm weather. Mr. CMG collected few new #birds sightings for his list. Beautiful Big Bluestem blowing in wind & glowing in sunshine made me hope ours take off next year & get this tall.🤞 #NativePlants #gardening 🌱

We've had a couple of days of rain here in the Los Angeles area. This morning I found a young Monarch caterpillar (I think second-to-last instar) during a break in the weather. 🐙🌿 #Bugsky

me, picking all of our grapes in august: how the fuck am i supposed to get ice wine when these are ready before the cocords?? frontenac gris, not to be misunderstood:

super interesting discovery! while going through and surveying the frost damage from yesterday morning, i discovered two pepper plants who seem wholly unbothered! there were a ton of others near them and elsewhere in the bed that are dead/dying but these two are seemingly completely fine!

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event. Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.
