I live in Florida. This was WAY harder than it should have been. It’s like “they” don’t remember what we all went through and the people who died. The people who risked their lives and sanity to bring us the vax should be remembered always. I thank them from the bottom of my vaccinated heart.♥️

As a necropsy team lead for several Atlantic large whales…checking my necropsy notes just to be sure….nope…no windmills. Hold tight, checking the peer-reviewed data and publications…. nothing about windmills, just lots of ship strikes and entanglements in fishing gear.

Microplastics have been found in the placentas of unborn babies, the depths of the Mariana Trench, the summit of Everest and the organs of Antarctic penguins. But how do they travel through the world, and what do they do to the creatures that carry them? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Yesterday we released two orphaned #otters after a long stay in the Florida Wildlife Hospital. North American River otters are still hunted and trapped in Florida and many other states.

I have been saving my single earrings for years- hoping the one I lost will magically come back. I have a LOT of single earrings. At last, a driveway miracle.

You don’t have to kill your grass all at once. Plant the right native plants and don’t water anything once they are established. The natives will outcompete and choke out the non-natives. Ta da!

My daughter said that if Jurassic Park was real, I’d be the one to bring home the smallest, sickly velociraptor when the park shut down. They would be the one with one leg or a raging ear infection. No one else would be willing to adopt them and we would just increase our Care Credit again. 😅
