Key Lime reblooming for me this morning. 🌈🩷🌱

BREAKING: A Closer Look at the King of Planets. 🪐🛰️ NASA has just released a new perspective of Jupiter so sharp it’s almost impossible to comprehend. Those intricate, marble-like swirls aren't just clouds—they are colossal storms, many of which could swallow Earth whole. 🌍🌪️

Wow, this is fantastic.

🤨🤨

New acquisition. Dendrobium nobile Oriental Smile “Butterfly.” Love the color and fragrance. Smells of apricots.

NASA just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter...

Beautiful zygo 🌱🩷

My goodness is this one slow to open. Den. Hawaii Stripes #orchid #bloomscrolling 🌱

Finding joy where I can. Two first time bloomers this morning. Brassiocattleya Little Birds and Zygopetalum Advance Australia HOF.

I had a rare WFH day on Thursday and got to spend desk time with my emotional support cat.

Poems for Lent (Day 15) • William Wordsworth •

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ... The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation: “I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.”

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

So just to be clear - Hegseth’s Pentagon is shooting down our own drones with lasers in Texas — but they want Anthropic to put fully autonomous killer robots in their hands? What could go wrong?

1/2 DOJ “reviewing” missing Epstein files only after reporters caught them. FBI interviews vanish. Victims exposed. Power protected. This isn’t incompetence—it’s institutional rot. Sunlight wasn’t optional. It was the law. Release everything. Now. #ReleaseTheFiles #NoMoreCoverUps

Colorado Sunrise this morning, 23 February.

Soon. Dendrobium Hawaii Stripes. 🌱

Yet somehow Republicans have managed to fool the public into thinking they're better about spending, deficits and debts.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

My mom sent me a link to this bookshop website that curates interesting and unusual books. Great looking selection, here. societyforunusualbooks.com

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Billionaire donor lobbied Trump administration hours before attack on bridge to Canada

Pepsi and Walmart engaged in a conspiracy to price fix and were about to get bailed for it when the TACO DOJ decided to drop the case. I truly truly fucking hate what that asshole has done to the rule of law. Truly, deep in my bones.

Why did convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pay Ohio State University’s head of gynecology quarterly payments of thousands of dollars??? 😡😡 www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

Zygopetalum Louisendorf 'Rhein Moonlight' in bloom. I’m in love with this one - smells sweet. 🩷🌱

Here are some nice flowers. Zygopetalum, I think “Pretty Ann.” 🌱

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Dendrobium Hibiki blooming and growing new canes🩷🌱

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
