These Pygmy Fruit-eating Bats are another one of my neighbors here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica

They cut along the midrib of banana leaves to make them collapse into a protected little house. And then they cuddle with each other and wonder why this strange man is looking at them.

I went to New Orleans to see what it looks like when a great American city comes under siege from the government, as masked goons of 'Catahoula Crunch' lie about nabbing bad guys before swarming Home Depot, roofing jobs for folks with brown skin

#Atrazine is banned in 60 countries, but it's the second-most used #herbicide in the U.S.

It's highly toxic to wildlife, poisoning habitat for aquatic plants and animals — as well as drinking water.

It's past time to protect imperiled species and public health from atrazine ➡️ bit.ly/3XiGK3V

Youths Ordered To Clean Up Rubbish Mess LEE - Because they couldn't find a dump open in Great Bar- rington, two youths threw a load of refuse down a Stockbridge hillside on Thanksgiving Day, Saturday, Richard J. Robbins, ic 19, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Arlo Guthrie, 18, of Howard Beach, N.Y., each paid a fine of gi $25 in Lee District Court after pleading guilty of illegally dis- posing of rubbish. Special Jus- Ri tice James E. Hannon ordered the youths to remove all the rubbish. They did SO Saturday afternoon, following a heavy rain. Police Chief William J. Oban- hein of Stockbridge said later the youths found dragging the junk up the hillside much har- der than throwing it down. He said he hoped their case would be an example to others who are careless about disposal of rubbish. The junk included a divan, plus nearly enough bottles,. gar- bage, papers and boxes to fill their Volkswagen bus. "The stuff would take up at least half of a goodsized pickup truck," Chief Obanhein said. The rubbish was thrown into the Nelson Foote Sr. property on Prospect Street, a residential section of Stockbridge consisting largely of estates on the hill across from Indian Hilil School. Chief Obanhein told the court he spent *a very disagreeable two hours" looking through the rubbish before finding a clue to who had thrown it there. He fi- nally found a scrap of paper bearing the name of a Great Barrington man, Subsequent in- vestigation indicated Robbins and Guthrie had been visiting the Great Barrington man and had agreed to cart away the rubbish for him. They told the court that, when they found the Barrington dump closed. they drove around and then disposed of the junk by tossing it over the Stockbridge hillside,

Woodland Prayer, 1915
https://botfrens.com/collections/88/contents/25771
"Woodland Prayer" by Egon Schiele captures a haunting yet intricate tapestry of trees integrated with symbolic images, reflecting his distinctive exploration of form and emotion. This artwork exemplifies Schiele's ability to infuse natural landscapes with spiritual and surreal elements, characteristic of his expressionistic style.

❌ No automatic protections for newly listed animal and plant species.
❌ Narrower “critical habitat” definition, ignoring historic areas vital for recovery.
❌ Easier approval for agencies to fast-track harmful projects like logging or drilling.
❌ Allowing economic interests to outweigh science.

One thing that's been heavily proven to me is Bluesky is not all politics. The music, record, cd, movie, books, horror and lots more scenes are heavily alive and well here with almost zero negativity. Better engagement here than Facebook has been in years.

🦕🦖GINKGO🌿🍂

“The ginkgo tree is from the era of dinosaurs, but while the dinosaur has been extinguished, the modern ginkgo has not changed.
After the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the ginkgo was the first tree that came up. It’s amazing.”

-Nakanishi Kōji (中西香爾 1925-2019).
#ginkgo #イチョウ #銀杏
Nao-san admires the great ginkgo at Nishi Hongan-ji. Ginkgo fruit (when fallen and squashed they can cause quite the stink!). Ginkgo slowly shedding their leaves. Sunlight illuminates the golden leaves of a great ginkgo tree.
