Whenever a month starts on a Sunday, the 13th lands on a Friday.
Every year has at least one instance of a Friday the 13th! 🍀🧡

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Oh I was also working at a farm at the time! Always had some kind of nick or scratch or bruise from that, haha

Meet Rosie! She was the gentlest tarantula I’ve ever met. Back in college I introduced her to a large number of kids through the entomology department’s insect zoo. She was super popular for a good reason— she was an absolute sweetheart! 🧡🧡🧡

You can always check the label! Because the vanilla orchid has a very specific insect pollinator that doesn’t exist outside of the Americas, most vanilla plants need to be pollinated by hand during a very short window of time. It’s cheaper to synthesize fake vanilla than grow the actual thing!

Vanilla comes from an orchid flower! It’s considered a ‘new world’ spice, native to Mesoamérica where the Aztecs used it to flavor chocolate.

Despite vanilla’s western origins, Madagascar is actually the leading commercial producer of vanilla these days, followed by Indonesia!🍦🧡

Animals have all sorts of ways to survive cold climates!

Some insects overwinter as eggs, others undergo a hibernation-like state called diapause, red squirrels rely on cached food in middens, Alaskan tree frogs freeze solid and thaw later— nature’s adaptations are pretty varied! 🧡❄️

That it is! The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is the other one I referenced, it requires a stomach to read but I do recommend it if you haven’t! :)

Vital changes were made because people cared.
Cared enough to research & write; cared enough to fight for a better world no matter who fought back for a worse one.

The more we learn, and the more we care for the people and the world around us, the better the world becomes for everyone. 🧡 (2/2)

When a book came out revealing the details of the meat packing industry in the US, the first version of the FDA was born to protect workers and consumers. 🏭

When a book came out about the effects of DDT pesticide on the environment, the EPA began to protect it (and us). 🌿(1/2)

DuckDuckGo isn’t a bad option from my experience! They have AI-assisted options that you can completely turn off in their settings which is nice :)

Tiger beetles look for food in two alternating modes:

1-running too fast to process the world around them

2-stopping to reorient in space

Some hunt without using their eyes at all!

Scaled up to humans, that’s like running blindly at 240mph in short bursts. Nature’s fast food! 🧡

living in LA during the winter is just like living anywhere else, it’s 72F post-solstice and sometimes an apocalyptic wall of noise makes you look up to see a tree with parrots for leaves, just totally normal and universal things

Maybe I can help you understand! Different people live lives different to yours, and have different body chemistries.

Protein bars are easy meal replacements if you don’t have time for a full meal.

Some folks’ bodies process protein at a higher rate than others.

So many reasons, all fully valid!

In 1980, Roger Rager raced in the Indy 500 with a repurposed school bus engine block. He didn’t win (placed 23rd after spinning out) but he did place 10th fast qualifying! Even qualifying at all was an impressive feat, and he went down in history for his boldness and creativity
