Oh man, between dismantling USAID, imposing tariffs, and now this, Trump just keeps on fucking over America's farmers. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks
States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

And folks using the #MMM2025 hashtag, just a heads up, the tournament action & MOST of the player chatter will be on the official hashtag #2025MMM :-D

Captain America has the slight pained smile of the disappointed, but he has a twinkle in his eye for you, and Captain America is really here to help you do better. The meme says "So you keep using #MMM2025 instead of #2025MMM"

#2025MMM Roots and Relicts starts with a most exciting pairing the ancient ginkgo tree, dubbed biloba for it's leaves divided into two large lobes. Facing it is the mycorrhizal fungi of the genus Septoglomus, that teams up with plants and help water and nutrient uptake! 🧪🐡 #watercolor #plantart
A watercolor depicting two of the 2025 March Mammal Madness contestants. A branch of a ginkgo tree, with several ripening fruit, dark gold in color, hanging from a node. They are surrounded by the signature lobed leaves of the tree, that are in the process of changing from a green to yellow. One fully yellow leaf falls down past the branch. To the right a mycorrhizal fungus from genus Septoglomus wraps around a plant root. Note the long string like hyphae that penetrate the root to form arbuscules, and spores on the outside of the plant.

Folks we are getting reports that #2025MMM research at Animal Diversity Web is overloading servers at the Univ of Michigan. Players/learners can use Wikipedia, but with the warning that it is not always going to be as scientifically-evidenced as ADW- a classic tradeoff between speed & accuracy!
