lovely old ink illustration of what i think is a gray-crowned crane, a bird with a feather crest, small wattle, and wading bird body with the long s-shaped neck going on. the title beside it reads "queer birds with queer habits"

🌻 Ready to get started? You can make a big impact just by doing less.

Mowing less means less work and more plant and pollinator diversity! Studies show that mowing every other week is better for pollinators, and letting your lawn grow to 3.5” makes for a more diverse lawn community.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to work with others to “conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.” The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of “de-extinction” technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species. The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave. In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation. It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation. Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list - not additions. The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist. We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of “de-extinction” technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk. Since the dawn of our nation, it has been innovation – not regulation – that has spawned American greatness. The revival of the Dire Wolf heralds the advent of a thrilling new era of scientific wonder, showcasing how the concept of “de-extinction” can serve as a bedrock for modern species conservation. The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage. Breakthroughs of this nature will inspire leading minds and future generations of innovators to chase the impossible, capture it, and unleash its potential! The Department of the Interior looks forward to a vibrant future full of innovation that advances core missions such as wildlife conservation.

Speaking of world-related-stress, here are some photos Joel took of the protest in Downtown Pittsburgh today ✊

Shane's in DC, so we may get some more from him when he gets back
Hands-off 2025 protest in downtown, Pittsburgh. A crowd congregates in the parking lot and street in front of the city council building, dozens of signs and flags raised in the air. Hands-off 2025 protest in downtown, Pittsburgh. Amidst a crowd of protesters, one woman holds up a hand painted sign that features two orange, grabbing hands and text that reads: "Keep your tiny greedy hands off of Ukraine Canada Greenland Panama Mexico Gaza" Hands-off 2025 protest in downtown, Pittsburgh. A crowd of protesters walk up Grant Street with signs held over head. One prominent sign reads: "CAN'T believe we still have to PROTEST this SHIT" Hands-off 2025 protest in downtown, Pittsburgh. The crowd of marching protesters snake down Liberty Ave and onto the William Penn Highway, waving signs and flags overhead.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

The outlines of a White House plan to produce a government science report that highlights the "benefits" of climate change is coming together. The intent is to expand presidential power, target regulations and fight litigation filed against fossil fuel companies. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump’s next climate move: Show global warming benefits humanity
A new federal report downplaying or denying climate change could drive a reversal of climate rules and expansion of executive authority.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.

There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
