By teaching children about the Wildlife and Animals that live around us, we can help them develop respect for all forms of life. Understanding that we share this planet with other living creatures can also help children develop empathy and compassion for others #wildlife #nature #children #bluesky 🦔

… to “think like a mushroom” is to move as part of a network, to eschew the confining boundaries of binaries & individuality, & recognize that one’s success does not necessarily mean another’s defeat.

In un'aiuola creata da un muro di contenimento in pietra a lato di una strada, delle rose rosse che hanno perso del tutto o in parte i loro petali si stagliano di fronte ad un paesaggio collinare che, all'alba, è illuminato dai primi raggi del sole.

In this short @motherjones.com video, Elon Musk says any business run like the US govt would be out of business. So what? Government ISN'T a business. But what Musk & Trump have done to our govt would drive any BUSINESS out of business. They will end up costing most American families dearly.

The US government isn't a business. So why does everyone want it to run like one? #business #elon
