A Spinosaurus mirabilis wearing a hat (shoved on its horn) that says "If i'm lost i've gone fishing" and a shirt that says "if fishing is a sport you're looking at an athlete" while carrying a can of beer and a fishing rod, standing in front of a wet lowland.

I just backed MegaloBook on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/152...
insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
leftists were exactly correct about everything and establishment dems did everything possible to ignore and ostracise them for decades. anyway, I blame leftists for what is happening

how exactly am I supposed to pay attention to my coursework on climate change research and EPA regulations while both of those things are being intentionally destroyed right now this very moment by the most vile humans on earth, who have names and addresses and throats

LOL ""Mrs Sparrow you built a nest on MY HOUSE THAT I LIVE IN! by the DOOR!!"
I sit outside and no less then 3 species of birds be yelling at me for existing near their nests.
Columbine (hybrids) and oval leaf groundsel popping off
I am too brain-problemed to keep up with filling & cleaning hummingbird feeders reliably so I planted a coral honeysuckle and some scarlet runner beans in the area where my feeders were. so I hope those explode & can feed the birds 🙏 i got my canna lilies too
A polarizing but adored lawn alternative is wild strawberry (Fragaria virginica).

The image shows the cover of the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture report. On the left, the words "Vanishing Culture" are prominently displayed in bold, dark font against a neutral background. To the right, a set of cultural artifacts including a VHS tape, an open book, a film reel, a vinyl record, and a web link icon appear to disintegrate into pixels, symbolizing the disappearance of analog and digital media. Below these icons is a pixelated computer hand cursor pointing to the word "SAVE," emphasizing the need for preservation. The Internet Archive's logo is placed in the bottom-right corner.

Robin fledgling on a fragrant sumac branch
fledgling robin outside our kitchen window!! it hung out while we cooked. we watched it's dad feed it a worm 😋 Understory shrubs are important for these babies practicing flying, keeping them safe off the ground as they can't make it to the high canopy yet
ok internet says they fruit on old stems + take a few years to establish so maybe THIS year they will fruit good
My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠
A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home!
TO BE CONTINUED…
The artists on this project did an incredible job. When I showed these to my friends, every friend had a different favorite.

american blackcurrant shrub flowering
come onnnnnnn you assholes gimme berries
i just picked up some gooseberries so maybe THEY will cooperate
My American blackcurrants are trolling me. I have 2 that both do great and get enormous and bloom a ton but then only make a handful of green berries :,)
dear shrubs wtf is ur problem??? you're monoecious!! you're right next to each other to cross!! there's plenty of bees!!!!
very cool! Gaillardia sp. blanket flowers (i've grown them but they didn't return after winter 😩). I've seen other flowers with that petal form before so ya some cross breeding may have happened 🤔 very interesting to see an old plant start to get weird with age.

I feel bad cuz I just mowed for the first time this year and had it set way too low :,) at least i can wait a lot longer until I mow again. & I compost the clippings
I try and get away with at little mowing as possible. maybe do it 3-4 times a year. I plan on converting the remaining bits of my lawn but for now its at least a decent mix of forbs and grass
ohhhhh starting to get the migrating birds in. visiting. weirdoes i can hear your songs. (they all stop by my yard cuz its nice)
