In the early morning, look in your squash plants for these amazing bees. They have longer antennae, friendlier faces, and more golden thoraxes than other bumble-like bees. Quite why they only fly in the early morning, sometimes well before dawn, I don't know. Perhaps to avoid hungry birds? To get the day's first flush of nectar? I think this one may be Xenoglossa pruinosa but I am no bee expert and am happy to be corrected

no idea who dart is (& don’t really care). had some a&f flannel shirts to keep me warm in college during the midwestern winters (tho later learned how horrible the company & ceo was). but damn that is a sweet leather coat and what a cool shot — from the colors, lines & old school station wagon 🤩

Most people will blame John Roberts, Samuel Alito or even Donald Trump for SCOTUS eviscerating the Voting Rights Act and ushering in a modern Jim Crow era But it was Mitch McConnell and his MAGA Senate traitors who stole two Supreme Court seats Were his actions based on racism We may never know

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

although sad, it’s not necessarily surprising. leave the homeland and naturally experience a degree of disconnect. social separation has happened with so many diasporas before this one, including a generation ago in vietnam. but, despite whatever history, one is always called back to the source 🫰🏼

all well & good but what are you doing to apply the brakes & generate long-term critical thinking among those in the executive? that or building pressure to counter the levers of power that are leading us to conflict that is again not ours & distracts from trump’s real overriding issue #epsteinfiles

ah speed of the thumb misses the simplest of grammar. yet, & as true intelligence attests, logic is the foundation & strength of the argument. certainly the world needs less grammar police & instead individuals who can form well-structured arguments to contest the other side’s concepts. try harder…
