I made a basket for my vanilla orchid with elm sticks and hemp cord and a hanging macrame style thingy to put it on the wall where it will get better light throughout the day.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Bee plant starting to bloom. I knew more binomials when I started my botany degree work than I do now 🤣

I have always wanted a vanilla orchid. Now we have to find out if I can keep it alive. In a few years maybe we will find out if I can get I to bloom, successfully pollinate, and get like $8 worth of vanilla bean off it. 🤣

Ahh that famous legal standard of “creating a ruckus”
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

For fascists, the hypocrisy is the point. It’s a virtue that demonstrates their power. They enjoy people getting worked up about it. This doesn’t mean ignoring their unethical behavior, but focus on harm they are causing rather than rules they are breaking. And focus on dismantling their systems.

Little elderly honeybee. She was moving very slowly, probing for nectar on a windy day, so I gave her some honey droplets.

These are not the bees that need saving.

These two colors together in the garden are very satisfying to me.

We have let these non-native, volunteer violas do their thing the last few years and we have several lovely groupings of them amid the hummingbird sage and oregon grape. I like them, even though they are probably a little more invasive than my yard goals prefer.

I like this short essay about my favorite LCD Soundsystem song. medium.com/@kristenann_...
