Cranky zillennial who enjoys facts and human decency. Empathy is our strength. Environmental Educator, but not on here.

Left-handed leftist.
There were so many incredible butterflies at my work this past week!

Thousands of little orange ones. I got so many photos of kids holding them or them sitting on people's faces. It was adorable.

Yesterday, my partner went on a hike with family and ran into a woman wearing a hat that said, "tough broads" they stopped to appreciate the hat and she said it's from a book she's featured in. Anyway, he did a little digging and holy shit do I want to be this woman.

Happy Cinco! What is happening at the border is cruel and inhumane.
Mexicans are demonized constantly in the US, when in reality, we RELY on them.

This morning, when I left my yurt to use the bathroom, I saw the camp bunny hanging out by my car. Then, I saw my first ceanothus moth of the season!
Yay!

Notice their feathery antennae.

I was running a staff training at a state park earlier today, I couldn't stay mature when I saw this fish.

Dude at taco bell gave me the wrong order, when I got the correct one I had seen him put a giant handful of fire sauce in. I did not think there would be 84 fire sauce in that bag when I got home, but here we are.

Let's raise some hell!

Had an idea for a new sign, I'm tired of looking at his face. Made an actual poster size that I'll print for the next protest. Poster version has black text on yellow which I think I'll keep.

So Elon actually paid for an election and actually gave a few people a million for voting. Meanwhile, I only found one post of a quoted claim of a paid 4/5 protester who said they got $100 and $10 for bringing a sign.

Can people *cough* the right-wing stop saying all of the protesters were paid by Soros? The amount he has given to Indivisible from 2017-2024 is around what a Trump golf trip costs. Eventually we'll know how much he has given this year, but even recent articles show he gave much less than Elon in WI

Is this a thing? People keep posting random images with no links and I can't find anything.

Here's the big sign zoomed in

This one was held by a wee lad. He got a kick out of my sign, I got a kick out of his.
