Hey, do I have any beetle peeps here?* @americanbeetles.bsky.social maybe? This wee little guy was feeding on the stem of an evening primrose. *I am fully aware of iNaturalist and BugGuide and have posted, thank you. Nor do I require any “That’s Steve!”

WA farm workers are hard at work checking the hops poles and fixing them for the upcoming season. It's essential that these poles hold up the framework of string and wires that allow the hops vines to grow vertically #WeFeedYou

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

I typed “Lord have mercy” and autocorrect put “Lorax have mercy”. I left it because that’s actually a WAY better phrase…and I will be using it from now on.

Trump’s controversial meme coin ‘contest’ proves predictably profitable for the president

“This isn’t Trump just being Trump,” a Democratic senator said. “The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a president has ever done.”

Manuel shares, I've been a tractor driver for 22 years. It was raining in this area. Strawberries can spoil from too much water so I quickly make paths so the water can flow. This way the soil stays moist and the fruit can grow healthy and not spoil. #WeFeedYou

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
