HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
I work for the USDA and we’re not allowed to conduct research on topics of “climate” or “warming”. Grants will be rejected if they have that focus. We’re also not allowed to collaborate with foreign institutions 🚩🚩🚩
Not only will heat harm crop plants, but farmers and livestock (animals) and fish too.
I know you know, but articles like this help raise awareness of the coming challenges and why it's imperative that we act yesterday, today, and tomorrow to prepare.

Good morning from Haarlem.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
I’d like to be fed less of political Bluesky and more of funny, weird, and creative Bluesky.
Engaging in politics here FEELS productive, but is it?

Yes, do believe that Jesus was married to #MaryMagdalene. I believed it years before The Da Vinci Code was written. I read the #Gnostic Gospels. I read #ThunderPerfectMind. Now you can buy the book on Amazon. But yes, it's all true.
#Medicare does not communicate by phone. Unless you call them. They send a letter to you. If you get a call from "Medicare" about supplemental benefits, HANG UP. I have gotten an incredible amount of Medicare scam calls since I got out of the hospital. I'm 53! I'm not even on Medicare!
These poor people. Round-Up is evil. I lost a good landscaper because I said, "No chemicals. ESPECIALLY NOT ROUND-UP." I hope they ban it.

Every #Friday, #Trump announces a deal to end the war.
It gives the stock market a bump before closing for the weekend and corporate media reports it as fact every week.

So they've remade #Lestat. The show #InterviewWiththeVampire frankly sucked (ha, ha) and so did the #MayfairWitches.
If Hollywood can fuck it up, they will.
Meanwhile, I have 5 1/2 vampire books under my belt, but all anyone wants is REMAKES. Fuck it, I'll self-publish.

Oil has been manipulated since the 70’s. There was never a world oil shortage, as my geological oil exploration friends say, “our world is, has, and will most likely be awash in the crap.” The reason the U.S. is behind most of the world in renewables is a system that wants to keep you manipulated.
BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.
The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.
Also, I know how to be stealthy. Because of my mom. She told me to put a kitchen knife under the mattress. So I did. 2/2
My ex-husband is a gun hoarder. He kept a rifle in the bedroom "for protection." Of course, it was on HIS side of the bed. We had a queen-size bed. I had 3 feet between me and the wall. Yeah, there was a window, but it was a 2 story house.
The hell of it is: I know how to fire a rifle.

60 degrees my ass. It can't be more than 55, and it's windy. Yesterday, here in North Carolina, it was 90! If you don't believe in #climatechange, read #RachelCarson : #SilentSpring #EdgeOfTheSea and #TheSeaAroundUs. I read all those books when I was 12.
Are they native to a particular area, or are they everywhere?
These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!
