Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Give a cannibal a billionaire and he will eat for a day (or more depending on size of billionaire). Teach a cannibal how to find billionaires and you will have the premise for a solid B movie.

"Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 from about 270 ppm pre-industrial to about 435 ppm today, an increase of about 165 ppm.
That's about the same increase as having 1650 people simultaneously urinating 250 ml (~1 cup) into an olympic sized swimming pool."

People just love planting trees, and sometimes there's no alternative.
But planted trees will NEVER create anything like the sheer diversity of forms of wild, self-seeded trees.
Only *nature* can do that.

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.
“If you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."
Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.

Watering on a sunny December day, you startle up something that appears to be a Long-Tailed Skipper—but too big and too slow. When it lights, all comes clear.
Love is in the air. 💚
And their tails are still perfect.

The rest we need to repair our nervous system is analogous to the rest a muscle needs after exertion to grow. It's understandable we'd associate rest w/ danger or "laziness," given our experiences & programming, but we need to reframe it-- along w/ nutrition-- as essential.

Today was perfect for being out in a Miami hammock preserve to cut, pull, bag, and bin rampantly invasive Paederia and Mucinia vines.
Photo of the day is an accidental shot from inside my back pocket. Serendipity.

Bidding has now reached £320
It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

More than 3 million people in Ukraine live with disabilities; hundreds of thousands acquired their disabilities as a direct result of Russian aggression. Both civilians and service members have been injured in callous, relentless attacks since 2014.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

For two whole years Israel has prevented anaesthetics from entering Gaza, resulting in people including children having to have surgery fully conscious and and feeling every bit of pain.
Two years we have allowed this.

From invasive species tracking to water security – what’s lost with federal funding cuts at US Climate Adaptation Science Centers
The people who manage America’s aquifers, wetlands, shorelines and recreation areas rely on federal science as they face new and rising risks in a changing climate.
