I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Flowers at Henderson Canyon Rd Wildflower Area are still looking great (see from this morning below). However, many from the fall crop of desert sunflowers have peaked. Recent rains are producing a more recent crop of desert sunflowers in this same area. (Photos: Sicco Rood).
Flower assortment of dune primrose, desert verbena, and desert sunflowers. Desert verbena in front of sunrise reflected on the Peninsular range.

Artists, show me your mouse and rat art! I have a lot but here's one of my favorites.
3 mice in a boxing ring. One is wearing a referee outfit and is holding up the arms of the champion mouse who is holding up a championship belt made of a cigar label while wearing boxing shorts made of a tobacco pouch. The loser in the background sitting punch drunk against the corner of the ring holding his bruised up face.

In her many travels, Nym visits an ancient graveyard where her people and their allies once faced off with the enormous cats of the Venandi Empire. Lifetimes later, the land is shared and tribute is paid for those lives lost in the war. Their spirits adversaries in life, and brothers in death.
Digitally painted illustration of a foggy meadow with gnarled bent trees, ancient weapons of war sticking up from the ground like so many pins, and pieces of skeletons are strewn around the greenery and embedded in the trees. The figure of Nym, a winged fox, kneels in front of an arrangement of bones and pink flowers, head bowed while the shadowy wisp of a large anthro canine ghost holds it's hand out to her.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Oh my god.
Guillaume de Palerme French romance poem Guillaume de Palerne[1][2] or in modern spelling Palerme ("William of Palerne" or "Palermo") is a French romance poem, later translated into Middle English where it is also known as William and the Werewolf.[3] The French verse romance is thought to have been composed anywhere from the late 12th to late 13th century (cf. § Dating).[4] The verse version in French survives in a single 13th century manuscript (l'Arsenal 6565 olim 178[5][6]).

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Talking about growing up religious with a friend and it's one of those things that when I said it out loud for the first time recently it just made me laugh. Divination is against the "rules", so tarot cards are "no", ouija boards are absofuckinglutely NOT, but I'd "divine" with coin flips.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

If your response to what's happening in Minnesota is "lol well they voted for this" may I clarify for you that they're being targeted specifically because they did NOT, in fact, vote for this.

BEGGING climate scientists and writers to stop using AI images for your articles

Talking about climate breakdown while actively using the planet-burning plagiarism machine to generate a throwaway image vs just sourcing a legit image from elsewhere is unethical, not to mention tone deaf.

I got to go into the exhibit and touch the butt. It was an honor.
I illustrated the book "Tracks in Deep Time" by Andrew R. C. Milner and Jerald D. Harris about this amazing fossil site, you can buy it on Amazon.
