Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Come for the arugula, stay for the aphids. Garden journaling is for everyone. (Also, get an inexpensive microscope, and it will change your world.)

nature journal page of arugula flowers (the petals look like butterflies!) and a sneaky small carcass of a post-life aphid. Surprisingly interesting with superlong horns and branches coming off it's butt-side.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion (with a b!) to consumers from corporate fraud and abuse. Do the math on why the oligarchs want to kill it.

Oh, Little Pitt had an energetic initial growth spurt, but lost energy and sadly, lost viability. I replanted/buried the remainint pitt+roots+stalk+dried leaves in a special place, returning it all to the earth. Thank you for asking, Little Pitt lives large in memory.

Fun with patterns, questions, and bees. Draw a honeycomb and ask questions. So fun.

I was today years old when I realized you can draw a honeycomb patterns by writing the letter Y over and over and over.

It's pretty easy, but it takes practice to stay consistent. Image showing rows of "Y"s in lines, creating a honeycomb pattern. Wikipedia says that honeycomb cells aren't geometrically "perfect" which is kinda a relief. Perfection is exhausting.

You could also do it by making zig-zags (image of horizontal zig-zag) and then lines (diagram showing vertical lines dropping down from zig-zag) BUT the Y method is much more fun. It's like every little Y is a question, and it's fun to be curious.

And now when I write the letter Y...I think of honeybees and their amazing homes and all the things we don't know about them, and how nature is an infinite *mystery*. Thank Wikipedia and all the bee-folks caring for the bees.

The decimeter is the viola of the metric system. Super important and under-appreciated.
