I am still not over the fact that I started this morning by listening to a white male have a 20 minute meltdown over the word 'savoury.' Saying it has no meaning, no one should use it, to use it is disrespectful towards him and his trauma (the trauma was "I saw it on a sign and hated it")

Daily bunny no.3454 loses another one
A bunny with a fishing rod is reeling in a fish, but a seagull steals it from him in midair, dragging the fish along with the line. Another bunny, a fishing buddy, as suffered the same fate, and is climbing out of the water having not let go of their fishing line and been pulled in. Other seagulls on the dock nearby enjoy their pilfered fishes.

I asked a guy at the bar something and he was like, "that's a good question," so I said, "yes, that's why I asked it." He goes, "you're such a smart ass; I love it." Michiganders are really enjoying my New Yorker sensibilities lol

If you can catch a hare and look into its eye, you will see the whole world… —Anna Crowe, “A Calendar of Hares” from A SECRET HISTORY OF RHUBARB (Mariscat, 2004) #BookWormSat #poem #poetry annacrowepoet.com/2021/04/21/a...
A Calendar of Hares
Anna Crowe

for Valerie Gillies

1.	At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare.

2.	If you can catch a hare
and look into its eye,
you will see the whole world.

3.	That day in March
watching two hares boxing
at the field’s edge, she felt
the child quicken.

4.	It is certain Midas never saw a hare
or he would not have lusted after gold.

5.	When the buzzard wheels
like a slow kite overhead
the hare pays out the string.

6.	The man who tells you
he has thought of everything
has forgotten the hare.

7.	The hare’s form, warm yet empty.
Stumbling upon it, he felt his heart
lurch and race beneath his ribs.

8.	Beset by fears, she became
the hare who hears
the mowers’ voices growing louder.

9.	Light as the moon’s path over the sea,
the run of the hare over the land.

10.	The birchwood a dapple
of fallen gold: a carved hare
lies in a Pictish hoard.

11.	Waking to the cry of a hare
she ran and found the child sleeping.

12.	November stiffens
into December: hare and grass
have grown a thick coat of frost.

""I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, being spent on species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?"

these glorious green metallic bees visiting my yellow tickweed
Ridiculously vibrant pic of a metallic green bee (both name and description, actually) perched in the center of a bright yellow blossom. I adjusted the contrast a touch for glare, but otherwise: unfiltered.Same bee, different angle - now you see their little head poking out from the top and side, with little black antennae waving.The bottom half of these bees is yellow and black striped, which is sometimes hard to see (they’re very fast, and if you see anything at all, you usually see the green). Same one, chilling on a yellow coreopsis blossom in the sun.
