A narrow-leaf milkweed and 4 monarch caterpillars next to a log.
They’re getting big and stripey!! Cheering the little caterpillars on.

Enjoying watching these little ones grow.
They like sun but I bet you could pull it off! Looks like they sell them at Cole hardware. I started 4 from seed, but this one, the only one that hung in there enough for caterpillars was a plant from Ace.

Over the moon that one of the struggling narrow-leaf milkweeds I planted now hosts a small group of monarch caterpillars!
I didn’t expect to get any this year, it’s my first year growing milkweed.
Thousands of fired up people who LOVE AMERICA out in the East Bay to say NO KINGS!

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.
A large crowd marching past the alameda county courthouse in Oakland CA. People hold signs that say “no kings,” “we love America, that’s why we protest,” and “resist.”
Great #NoKings march today in Oakland. Peaceful, joyful, and all about community love and support.
Thanks for the great service as always. Your team members are so friendly and kind. The ferry is my favorite way to commute.
Wow! Hello from a fellow Michigander. Very different worlds but both really special.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. That area is beautiful.
Thank you!

Two surfers on a small wave. It’s a sunny day.
Lovely bodysurfing day

The milkweeds are getting bigger! I think it takes a few years before the rhizome is established enough to flower. Still hoping they’ll get big enough this season to support a caterpillar.

Caught a show last night. I love the Bay Area DIY punk scene and it’s so amazing to get to see the kids of Bay Area punks launching their own bands.
Crowd was so stoked.

Started this digital painting during my family travel last winter then forgot about it. 😅 it’s keeping me cool in the 80° heat.

Protested yesterday, planted native milkweeds today. Totally over sunned myself but worth it.

No Kings Day in San Francisco, June 14, 2025: Still waiting for the march to get moving. It took about an hour because the crowd was so huge.
Happy No Kings Day! Here are my march-and-sketch drawings from today's San Francisco gathering. Fellow Americans, I hope your local celebration was equally lively. First, the assembly at Dolores Park... (1/3)
Thank you, @replsimon.bsky.social, for your passionate words yesterday at the Oakland march. And thank you @kpixtv.bsky.social for making the recording available. I'm thrilled to be able to share my representative's message.

Here’s more about the eastern prickly pear https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/indiana/stories-in-indiana/prickly-pear-cactus/
Beautiful! Here’s more about them https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/indiana/stories-in-indiana/prickly-pear-cactus/

These prickly pears grow all over the dunes in Indiana.
Many years ago the county mowed down a patch of them along the side of the road. I took some of the cuttings back with me, unsure if they’d survive.
They just bloomed their first bloom!
