"Don't hate yourself, dearie. There's plenty of folk who'll do that for you."

Yeah, it's hard to read one's sleepy scrawl the next day. As prophetic and profound as it seemed at the time, good penmanship is more valuable 😆

His followers knew he was a crook and a sleaze when they voted for him. They're not going to care about a few more revelations.

Better to focus your efforts on improving the Dems' messaging on affordability.

Wow, I hope your alien dream isn't prescient. You'd better start taking note of your dreams just in case, though!

Centuries of net-negative emissions are required to secure a safe climate future, two studies suggest Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for centuries.

Long-term climate stabilization will require centuries of sustained net-negative carbon dioxide emissions, as net zero alone is insufficient to halt impacts like sea-level rise and permafrost thaw. doi.org/hbr6ph

A workout playlist for your heart? Why musical structure could guide rehab New findings on how the human heart adapts to expressive music features, like loudness or tempo, could lay the foundations for targeted music-based "exercises" to support heart health.

Objective musical structures, such as phrase boundaries and tempo, can influence heart rate and blood pressure, suggesting potential for tailored music-based rehabilitation for cardiovascular health.

It's that time of the year again! 🐸

That's actually quite an important reveal of his most essential characteristic: Anger.
He's just a toddler engrossed in a perpetual tantrum.

Après-midi lilas… #Photographie

Est-ce qu'on voit de la glace dans cette photo?

I'm guessing sea horses are one (or several) of those vital species. There have been intense efforts around Poole Harbour in nearby Dorset to restore sea grass for that reason. For decades, the pleasure boats' moorings had been ripping up their habitat.

I often dream of animals from their point of view.

#Seabird protection in this instance moving forward a step

Routinely dosing pets with pesticide can't be for their benefit. UK vets even sell monthly flea/worm treatments for 100% indoor pets!
In the US, you're taught to look for signs, like if your pet scooches along the ground after toileting. The vet would test for type of worm, then dispense treatment.

Emphasis on "recreational" crab pots. Tens of thousands of turtles drown every year so as to save hobbyists from spending an extra $1 on fishing gear. 🙄

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

.

The US would not need all these wars for oil if it had invested in renewable enegy.

Europe has been free democratically to pursue this route.

The US has sold its democracy to big oil and the arms industry.

These fund continued political opposition to green.

Big Oil DC $$$ has:

* resulted in 9/11

* killed tens of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern civilians

* enriched some of the most repressive regimes in the world

* polluted water and air

* caused global warming and environmental upheaval for generations to come

I'm screwed then because I'm pretty much housebound 🫤...

🦇 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to roost. Bats roost in houses, both new and old but some species prefer hollow trees, or caves. In buildings they often shelter behind hanging tiles and boarding or in roof spaces.

Beaver dams restrict the water flow in parts of a river, creating ponds and wetlands.

In drought-stricken areas, fish and other wildlife can take refuge in the ponds until it rains and the river flows again.

Beavers improve water quality and fish health. They even reduce incidents of wildfire.

Not only is the renewal of trapping licenses illegal under EU law, but many trapping sites are situated in areas set aside to protect biodiversity.
Bird numbers are already unsustainable. Further reductions will speed up habitat destruction and rob the public of the chance to view birds in the wild.

I'd be astounded to see a MAGAs feign concern for wildlife and keep a straight face.

One million square kilometres of ocean gains full protection in Chile - Oceanographic Chile expands full protection across 946,571km² of ocean around the Juan Fernández and Nazca-Desventuradas marine parks.

"Chile has granted full protection to 360,000km² of ocean around the Juan Fernández and Nazca-Desventuradas marine parks, creating one of the world’s largest fully protected marine areas and surpassing 50% ocean protection."

Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands

Despite a spike in cancer deaths in indigenous communities near Alberta's tar sands operation, the Canadian government plans to allow the release of toxic tailings into the pristine river system. Ocean currents would then carry them to the rest of the world.

In early March?! We used to have snow October through May.

My rule was, "Don't pack the sweaters away until July 1st."
