It's especially cruel to eliminate healthcare on the eve of #MemorialDay when the nation should be honoring and supporting the families of service members who sacrificed their health or even their lives in service to the America they believe in: a democracy committed to #Equality & #CivilRights.

Hundreds of #MayDay protesters line Church St. at Courthouse Park in Cortland, NY, home to #SUNYCortland (a unionized academic workplace) and lots of drivers honking and waving as they pass our signs.

Watching many species of #MasonBees feasting on my hedgerow's #AmericanBoxwood flowers and Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa). It's the first day it has hit 60 again after a couple of seasonably cold weeks.

Back atcha. Photos 👇 from yesterday.
Just learned from a biologist friend that robins' digestive systems change seasonally to enable those who overwinter in upstate NY (some do!) to eat fruit when the ground is frozen and worms are unavailable. That's how they're able to eat our winterberries.

I am glad we have #Winterberries for #Robins to feed from, but we should not be seeing robins in upstate NY in January. Normally they do not return from the South until March. It's freaky and alarming. #ClimateChange is upon us and we must act to fight #GlobalWarming #CmimateEmergency

Keeping this election in perspective means recognizing the importance of the many #downballot victories.
8 out of the 9 boxes I checked turned up winners. Because I live in NY?

It's that time of year: feeling the urge to plant layered daffodils, species tulips, iris reticulata, and crocus for spring bloom.
A lot of work, but oh such a wecome sight in April when the land is waking up again.

Howdy, folks. I am a refugee from Twitter where I've waged war on fascism since 2018.
Hoping to find common cause here and learn from all of you. I share a lot of flower pictures.
