Building new roads in the wilderness makes forests more vulnerable to wildfires, not less. ​ “The density of ignitions was up to four times higher within 50 meters of a road than it was in wilderness areas,” explains Greg Aplet from @wilderness.org.

TODAYS BIG BEAUTIFUL EPISODE IS ABOUT THE MAKE AMERICA BEAUTIFUL AGAIN HOAX, CLIMATE DENIAL SCAM OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AGENCY, AND MONARCH BUTTERFLY NEWS, THE ONLY ORANGE MONARCHS THAT SHOULD EXIST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. GET YOUR COVFEFE READY.

The EPA has postponed enforcing limits on methane emissions linked to oil and gas operations while it weighs the possibility of scrapping the rules altogether.

Just because a plant is non-native doesn’t always mean it is invasive. #nuance

So tired this morning that I poured my coffee into my yogurt. 🤦🏻‍♀️

NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.

Trump’s EPA: “Chemtrails aren’t real.” www.epa.gov/regulations-...

Yes. #EpsteinFiles

NO!!!!!!

This admin gets me in such a rage that melatonin doesn’t work so I just am awake playing Stardew and listening to the rain—trying to disassociate

This was a lovely thing that happened today. 🦋

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

I’m doing the podcast solo this summer and if I don’t have a guest, I am immediately reminded why I prefer to have a cohost— I don’t like just info-dumping. I prefer to discuss a topic with another person for a casual, conversational vibe. Also if I do them by myself so far episodes are only 12min

God every single online 3rd party merch store seems to be allowing Alligator Alcatraz merch. I want a place to print and sell that doesn’t allow merch of government internment camps that don’t Violate human rights.

This will probably end up in the land of the Forward Party.

In a democracy, government employees can voice respectful dissent to their leadership. But today, EPA leadership retaliated against its own employees for expressing disagreement w/ the admin’s actions & policy directions. Punishing gov't employees for this expression is an alarming development. 🧵

Coming soon on @beesandreveryradio.bsky.social : -A news drop on the Budget Reconciliation bill and what this means for conservation and the environment within the next couple days. -An episode on fireflies sometime next week.

If you are freaking out because “omg we will never have elections again,” Um no. States run the elections, not the fed. Also maybe remember indigenous and BIPOC folks have been fighting for rights for hundreds of years. Feel what you feel but your discomfort isn’t an excuse to not fight back.

Did you know that Pokémon’s creator was an avid insect lover and autistic? He created the game as he saw villages become part of urban sprawl. He wanted to find a way for future generations to experience nature. Metapod and Caterpie are based on swallowtails.

We wanted butterfly/bee/firefly summer but we got wasp/earwig/gnat summer.

andrew cuomo is emblematic of everything people despise about the democratic party and zohran is everything people want in politics, he represents hope for a better world

Gavin Newsom is so frustrating. He does some slimy crap and was literally married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. We know he wants to be president. He will do something irritating like having MAGA on his podcast. But then he talks the talk and it’s good. But guys, we cannot fall for his politicking. Nope.

Just finished Throne of Glass, moving on to book 3! So far I can’t say that I like this series more than ACOTAR, but I do love it. You just get different things from each series. TOG is clearly darker, more political, more epic. ACOTAR is romantasy with substance. #booksky

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

6/9/25: the caterpillars found on Saturday are approaching their second instar or are already there. This one is the biggest. Instars are the 5 growth stages during the larval stage of a monarch’s life cycle. Each instar is separated by a molt, as they need to shed their skin as they grow.

Finally found monarchs today! I found 3 first instars at the horse show grounds of all places. Let the season begin! 🦋🥳

My morning routine is scaring bunnies out of my yard before letting the dogs out. I should really bill our local rabbit population for my life-saving services.

I went to go check the vacant lot I check for eggs and collect milkweed from for feeding, and it had already been mowed. 😭

Gelding people know.

It’s a little stupid how pretty this horse is.

Question of the day:

Saw my first monarch on Sunday while trail riding. 🦋🐴 Haven’t found any eggs yet, but I hope to go on a hunt beyond my yard soon!

This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P. The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice. The dots moving in the background are stars.

Today feels defeating because I think the passage of that bill this morning makes reality more clear and in our faces that the political party in charge right now says “nah fuck you, eat shit poor and vulnerable people, we want your money work until you drop dead.”

The prairie just called. She told me to tell you that 💗🩵🤍🩵💗 TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 💗🩵🤍🩵💗 TRANS HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT 💗🩵🤍🩵💗 TRANS LIFE IS SACRED 💗🩵🤍🩵💗 this does nothing but have a phone background and a repeating tile background, idk. i just want people to be safe and healthy

My commute to the barn has switched from watching out for deer that might run into the road to now watching out for wild turkeys to cross the road.

If I see another pro-environment AI generated meme I am going to explode.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

men will literally dismantle the federal government instead of going to therapy

The USGS Bee Lab is facing closure - part of sweeping proposed federal cuts to environmental programs. 🌱 Our latest blog breaks down what’s at risk - and how you can speak up: 🔗 wildones.org/major-enviro.... Let’s protect the science that protects pollinators.

People freaking out over DT’s Taylor Swift tweet is peak falling for his stupid noise to distract us from the regime doing awful stuff. But also he loves this shit, you guys. He’s a drama queen. He does what he thinks will be good reality tv. This whole admin is this way. Stop feeding them.

Nothing like sunny mornings with the windows open, good coffee, and a good book. 🩵

Appreciation post for this old man. ❤️❤️❤️

Glover's silk moth (Hyalophora gloveri), Pryor Mountains, Montana. This is a male, told by the large, feathery antennae. These moths don't feed as adults, and only live about a week, just long enough to reproduce. Phone pic from last weekend. 🐙🌿
