Trans man. Left to my own devices I'd be making mead and playing with my friends and chosen family in the woods. Choosing kindness as my strength. Pet cats, lift heavy, laugh in the teeth of despair.

A firefly larvae crawling along leaf substrate. It is a long, slender, wormlike insect covered in sharp, chitinous plates. The plates are a creamy brown marked with dark brown chevron-like markings. Its rear glows with two small yellow bioluminescent spots that look like eyes.

This you, Columbia?

Lando from Star Wars saying "I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever" before he betrays Han.

Narrator: It did not, in fact, keep the Empire out forever.

I'm not sure if I'll still be in my home next year. I don't know if we'll have to move to stay safe. But today I pulled invasive honeysuckle and planted native trees, and I put a Carolina mantis eggcase on a branch in my garden. With a little bit of luck, I'll have little horrors hatching soon.

A gif from a comedy short where two Nazis during the WWII era realize that they're the bad guys, after listing off the many obviously evil things about them. A shocked- looking white man says "Are we the baddies?"

We live in the stupidest fucking timeline. Ironically, this EO eliminates a program (the Presidential Management Fellows Program) aimed at recruiting smart and talented people into civil service...something that the current administration clearly lacks.

You can do it, though! I believe in you! Here's a picture of my chonky cat son for motivation!

A screenshot from https://2012-2017.usaid.gov/news-information/frontlines/50-years-and-food-security/mission-south-africa#:~:text=U.S.%20policy%20was%20to%20help,economic%20change%20through%20peaceful%20means. detailing USAID involvement in South Africa. The text reads:
"U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition.

I'll never get tired of these little mushroom guys. Possibly false turkey tail. They're such a pretty pop of color against the cold, wet wood of the winter.

This week's reading! I was pleasantly surprised to find it was written by a fellow member of the Alphabet Mafia™️. He's also pretty progressive. It's a breath of fresh air amidst the other permaculture-style lit I've read so far. #permaculture #sustainability #CountryLiving #CountryQueer

A stylized peach sunburst is at the top of the cover, the title is in green, and there is a neon green stylized drawing of a small pickle jar in the bottom center of the cover.

I figure why not make my first post this extremely cursed photo of a toy cymbal monkey from a Goodwill auction?
