TB

feel like I'm in a horror movie just desperately texting STOP at this relentless onslaught of fundraising messages

"You Can See Everything" is three hours of various iterations Costanza's "it's not a lie if you believe it" credo. Like a nesting doll of subterfuge and meta references, and I can't wait to watch it again

who's the best TV character of the year and why is it Patricia?

insects make the world go 'round 🐛🦋🪲

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

Thanks to the Pistons for the first piece of national news in 2026 that doesn't give me hives

DEEETROIT 🏀

🐸🎃😸

Me and fall warblers (and gulls) (and most shorebirds….) (….and a lot of ducks)

Need a laugh? Something lighthearted to break up the doom scroll, perhaps? Explore the world of the ocean sunfish and the Bostonians who love them.

Sure why not? I’m in

Another day, another greedy billionaire telling us that, actually, we should be paying *more* than we already are. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

If nothing else, I got my bird of the day 🙄

Wavy-lined emerald moth. Their caterpillars attach pieces of dried flowers and other plants to themselves as camouflage. Nature! 🤩🤯

This Monarch is just about ready to emerge! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🦋

Last night/tonight 🤞🏻 this little guy makes it!! NATURE

Ever look around and think “wow, nature is unreal”?? We are so lucky to live on this planet. (photos taken in RMNP & Brainard Rec Area, Colorado)

Bug of the day. 🤩🫅🦋

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Today’s bug: bordered wedge-shaped beetle. For anyone in the US’ Midwest, plant some Mountain Mint that’s native to your region. It’s far and away the most popular thing I’ve ever planted. Everyone (but the deer) loves it.

A new part of my daily mental health routine is watching and IDing the bugs in our native plant beds. It’s very peaceful and I recommend it. This guy is (I believe) a Perplexing Bumble Bee (common name).

orcas are the cats of the ocean

<health care system on verge of collapse. masked men disappearing people from the streets. climate crisis> Me over here with my little nature blog about otters: 🥲 But sincerely, my latest post celebrates these resilient creatures that have long captivated the internet. 🦦

ICE agents leading shackled and handcuffed children thru the loading dock at ICE detention facility in downtown LA

Related: Quit Amazon Prime, Netflix, Target, Spotify and Instagram this year (quit TikTok last year), and I don't miss any of them. Still some more digital/consumer detoxing to go, but it's a start, and I don't foresee going back to any of them

loving this brutal heat wave, are there any politicians or movements that are specifically working toward delivering more of these

*world is burning* . . uh, here's my happy little blog post about the mental health benefits of birding. Getting out there is good for us!

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

We were so close to losing them forever. But then we brought them back. Now, the current US administration has its sights set on weakening policies, including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, that protect birds like the bald eagle. We never learn 🦅❤️‍🩹

See ya in June!

Prepping for s2—one of my favorite exchanges from the best ep

Instead of viewing ourselves as the center of the ecosystem, and expecting every plant and animal to bend to our will, we can more easily accept that, like us, each animal is doing what it needs to survive.

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.

this guy might be having his greatest run ever this past week

Whenever I need a little pick-me-up, I watch clips from the dinner party episode of Peep Show ("Threeism," S9E3).

No deep thoughts with this post -- just an appreciation for a pretty cool form of life.

My latest post is all about my love for the Great Lakes, which, naturally, are under increased threat because of the current administration: "These cycles of human-driven calamity and restoration are exhausting and they always come at a cost."

Like so many other cats, Roger was a huge fan of the Oscar-winning "Flow." We watched it Friday night and he was *enthralled* -- the humans loved it, too!

My newest blog post was supposed to be about gulls, but it's actually about ... my dad? Other topics covered include sewage treatment plants, spiders and lessons in humility.

I love that Pepe (L) is slowly allowing Ziggy (R) to have more physical contact with him, but it's still a tenuous situation at best.

My newest Rooted and Roaming recounts my favorite hiking story: an unexpected solo encounter with bears in the Michigan woods.

It’s really clear to me when someone didn’t read Project 2025.
