Fledgling bluebird about halfway out of the nesting box.
Dad bluebird perches on the box offering a snack to the hungry fledgling. Time to go, little one!
For Earth Day I am on bluebird fledging watch. One little guy left in the box since yesterday. Having a bit of trouble leaving. That’s about as far as it gets out. Our 11th year of helping bluebirds.
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%
Here’s my pic from Sat night through the trees. Moon sliver with good Earthshine and Venus to the upper left.
The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Wow- seems like this is spectacular waterfall season throughout the North country!
– to talk about the kind of reconstruction the US will face for the first time since the civil war, the reconstruction a ravaged and corrupted country has to go through to return to functionality. But not to return to the way things were. …”
I think I realize this and it’s why my anxiety is sky high.
“…We do not need to understand these criminals in order to try to contain and ultimately remove them. They will not last for ever, and we need to think about what happens when they’re gone –
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
Said the suckee....
YES.
Boundary Waters, now this...all for $. SMH 😕
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

R’s just seem to want to destroy our natural world with no thought to consequences for ecosystems or humans. They are why we can’t have nice things. Vote them all out.
I LIKE it! Very creative.
Yeah, I’m not going back to the church, but he definitely talks truth to power.

We bought this and “ The King Who Rained”for my granddaughter. She was excited when we told her it was written and illustrated by “ Herman Munster.” Loved introducing her to another side of Fred Gwynne.
Wrote AND illustrated. My granddaughter loves his books. So creative!
Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK.
And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight.
It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.
Daily reminder:Release the Epstein Files👇🏻

During Black Maternal Health Week, let us refocus on how we can provide resources and rights that help Black mothers thrive before, during, and after pregnancy. We must pass the #Momnibus
Tough.
And that’s why you’re living off if it. If it’s always the problem, get out.

It will take decades to repair the damage he has caused.
This is not good news…
Glaciers had one of their worst years in 2025:
👉 408 billion tonnes of ice mass lost
👉 ≈1.1 mm added to global sea levels
👉 6 of the 7 worst years have happened in the past 7 yrs
Since 1975: ~9,600 billion tonnes gone (≈26.4 mm SLR)
This isn’t a gradual change...
