Today marks 150 years since the Beefeeters at the Tower Of London abandoned their ancient uniform of shoes painstakingly stitched from the hides of thousands of bumble bees for leather boots. Bee cobbling is now a lost art and all the original bee feet have long decayed away.

My aphids bring all the common yellowthroats to the yard!

A blurry yellow and gray bird with black markings that look like a bandit mask perched among honeysuckle branches. It's eating aphids, but they're too small to see so far away. A black circle obscures the rest of the view because I don't have a zoom lens and was took the picture through one side of my binoculars.

No human being is illegal on any land. The law is a creation of people and its existence is not of greater value than people’s. The law is imaginary. People are real.

"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould.

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like: --Canada's cool, leave them be --Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus --We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it --Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

This is an utterly brilliant analysis of the source of our communal dread. As much as we scientists have pounded on this for decades, leave it to a novelist to help us understand what is really happening. 🌏🧪
