Hey, BlueSky! I'm a conservation professional and equal-opportunity nature and science enthusiast trying to pull away from FB and Threads without feeling out of touch. I'm an erratic poster, but follow me if you enjoy the occasional hummingbird, birding, garden, and pet chicken posts in your feed.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.
Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.
Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

That wild bus-napping thread? I was a dozen skeets in before I was sure it wasn't an elaborate analogy for the US right now: driver changes destination, ignores passengers' protests, drives fast & recklessly, passengers beg for help from bus company & police, etc.
Hoping both turn out OK.
