Rough history of the two US parties a thread

1850–1910: Republican party is conservative, Democrats populist.

1910–1930: Republican party splits with TR losing to Taft. Split is conservatives and corporate liberals. Democrats are still populist.

🐝Bumblebees perform "buzz pollination"

They grab onto a flower & vibrate their flight muscles at a high-pitched middle C frequency, shaking the pollen loose

Without it, many of our favorite native plants wouldn't be able to reproduce!

The amount of edits I have seen where people are quoting conservative media to say they hate conservatives is kind of insane. LOTR and TCN are conservative and Christian..

A thread:

Clothing used to be rooted in purpose. Sweaters were knit to keep fishermen, farmers, and other outdoorsmen warm during long hours in cold, damp conditions. They were durable, repairable, and often handmade by loved ones.

I am greatly enjoying the book How To Be a Conservative by Roger Scruton, here's some of my favorite quotes so far:

In the US we don't need to save honeybees. They are an exotic species and classified as livestock. But grow plants that are native to your area and bloom at different times of the season for our wonderful bumble bees and other native polinators. Gotta love a bumbler!

I too am frustrated by “save the bees” stuff that is solely focused on honeybees. Here is a lovely native bumblebee I saw busily pollinating the apple trees in my parents orchard last weekend! It was so cute.

🌿Practice Lazy Gardening

🍂Leave the Leaves: Many native bees and butterfly larvae overwinter in leaf litter

🐝Save the Stems: many solitary bees nest inside hollow stems

On August 6, 1912 T Roosevelt articulated what may be the clearest moral definition of conservatism: conservation as stewardship. A nation must conserve not only its people, but the land & resources that sustain them, not for short term gain, but to be cared for & passed down to future generations ♡
