Really weird search difference between DuckDuckGo and Google when in @wikipedia.org When Searching 'Bull Moose Party' each have different results, you can't even find Bull Moose Party in Wikipedia while on DDG. #Internet #Censorship #Wikipedia #Google #DuckDuckGo #SearchEngine #WebBrowser #Browser

It’s not just what we build. It’s how we build.
We’re building major projects sustainably, in partnership with Indigenous peoples, in solidarity with union workers, and we are building Canadian – with Canadian materials and technology.

Needed to do some hemming so I took out my inherited Singer sewing machine. I wanted some tea while I sewed so I put out my moon teapot. The singer work light no longer works so I got my "lamp cat" for setting up. Suddenly I felt very Studio Ghibili ☺️

Dinosaur Mummies Are Clay Molds, Not Soft-Tissue Fossils, New Study Reveals
Wyoming’s “dinosaur mummies,” once thought to preserve fossilized flesh, are actually detailed clay molds formed by microbes as the creatures decayed

So this #Dinosaur #Edmontosaurus, "Warwick's Duck", has an "extreme degree of lesions and fractures in the neural spines of the vertebrae", caused "by an external pressing force acting vertically to diagonally" with different "pathological events". My take on what happened... 🧵1/2

White, as a group of people, is fabricated and is only real in how it is a social concept. For example, those who were Irish or Polish were previously not considered white. A great breakdown of this is "Birth of a White Nation" its opening lines are, "White people did not exist before 1681" #History

Research shows disgust is the most successful way to get an attacker away from you. Ex. Vomit. I keep thinking, "What if you kept the most rancid stink bomb on your person and set it off during an ICE abduction?"

My 2nd year making these treats for #Halloween, "Breaded Leaf and Chocolate Acorns" are they #TrickOrTreat? 13 boxed treats with full leaves and 20 wrapped treats with leaf pieces (fell apart). Live in a tiny village so I expect left overs!

This is really fascinating! Such different physical ability but the Same Species!
🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me?
Help save nature by rewilding the Church’s massive landholdings!

Planted #cactus seeds yesterday, in #NorthernOntario, #Canada. Its a #Native that can grow in zone 4-9, *Opuntia* *humifusa*, Eastern Prickly Pear! 36 are in the #Garden bed with blueberry seeds, and 12 in the fridge - will plant in bonsai pots, and in spring transplant to fill gaps. 1/3🧵
Opuntia humifusa (Eastern Prickly Pear)
Eastern Prickly Pear is a low-growing cactus with striking yellow blooms and edible red fruits, perfect for xeriscaping and wildlife gardens

There is a reason why Farm Owners heavily backed Trump.

I have seen a lot of justifying of having invasive species. Migrating birds eating from it is not enough, and is in fact worse because they are spreading it and exasperating the problem. Read the attached image for why 👇 #Ecology #Wildlife #Gardening #Ecosystem #Environment #Garden #PlantNative
