Meeting a Right whale in a kayak like that would be sooo cool! But intimidating as hell!

This is a big ask for #Indiana, maybe. But we say: If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough! 💪 🌊🗽
There’s no world in which you can explain this based on merit. There just isn’t.
I wonder how many were women (including, of course, Trans Women). I would really like to see a breakdown of all metrics (phenotype, cultural group, sex, gender, age, geographic placement, etc). I think it would be interesting, but still, I bet WASP Cis Males are the largest group.
Distinct Mr. Rogers feeling to this voiceover, very nice!
We will still face massive economic problems caused by this regime. We, as a country, will never again be in as good of a place, financially speaking, as we were even a year ago. We all need to focus on taking care of each other. Because if not us then who?
We will still have to work hard to get free and fair elections. We will still have to pressure our representatives into fixing all the problems this situation has cast into stark relief. We will still have to figure out some way to keep this from every happening again.
Republican President Donald Trump's death (when it happens, may it be soon) will not magically fix anything, but him being dead will make fixing things (somewhat) easier. We still need to work hard on changing course, even when he is dead, the people who orchestrated this will still be here....
This breaks my brain! Wood is only carbon neutral if you are growing at least as much as you are burning! A person with a well managed woodlot, burning wood for heat (or power if they have access to a Stirling Engine) is eco-friendly. This is not! Gah!
Absolutely!
Serious time: No matter what else you think about politics, always be anti-authoritarian. Make that the core and the anchor of every other aspect of your political thought. Resist authoritarianism. Don't fall for it. Don't entertain it. Don't accept it. Liberty is a bulwark against cruelty.

You know I think other people have though of this, but I don't think anyone has done it. Good Job Swizerland! Now everyone else needs to do it too!
Our country is being destroyed. But hey, look at these eight Maine Coon kittens.
The Pandemic didn't hit until the end of Trump's first term. Most of Biden's dept was dealing with the pandemic and its fallout. Regardless of all of that there is also what the spending was being used for, which in Trump's case was *clearly* not the good of the people.

NEW: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a new, deeply gerrymandered congressional map that disenfranchises voters of color for political gain. All voters deserve to be heard. This is an affront to our democracy.
Very old, but NGL I would totally watch this in theaters if it was made, I think it would make a great comedy if they don't try and make it a comedy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEb...

Make a point of checking your voter status every month! Encourage everyone you know to get registered and do the same! Then VOTE, vote like lives depend on it, because they do! vote.org
Contact to double check! Just to be sure! Don't count on being able to fix things they have screwed up later! *fingers crossed*
#Pinks #ProudBlue If you live in GA., you better make sure you’re still registered to vote. Hundreds of thousands have been taken off the voter rolls, especially young black people. GOTV. ✊💙 georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...
Disaster aid groups are not ICE. Nor should they be. Their main focus is on helping people after a disaster. There's a simple fix here — Congress needs to do its job and pass comprehensive immigration reform NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Doo itttt!
I don't even have to lie, I can check 4 of those boxes honestly (5 if we count occasionally smoking cloves back in my late teens/early twenties because I liked how they tasted/smelled).
Coffee prices have doubled. Again. I saw some Tr*mper say, "Who cares about coffee prices? He's solving crime!" How quickly they abandoned their "lower egg + gas prices on day one!" rant and embrace happily how he's making everything more expensive. It's a CULT. And he ain't solving shit.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

How it was done and more importantly, what can we do to prevent it from happening again. Plans both short term, and long term.
Hopefully 🏴 will listen to JC this time. At the top of that class system, the British Royal Family exists in splendid opulence to remind us all of their superiority & our lowly status. #ScottishIndependence will bring many benefits-losing the crushing weight of the RF is a significant plus point.
Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.
The stark difference between me (born in late 1980) and my siblings (born in '64, '65, '66, and '71 respectively) is telling. The time we were born isn't the only factors of course (I have some significant psychological problems and learning disabilities) but the eras haven't made things better.
and try between those over 75 and those under 50

Things are going badly for ICE. How can we make it much, much worse? The resistance needs to up our psychological tactics game ASAP. Give ICE the Hanoi Hannah treatment.
I think it's time for more spiteful optimism. I stubbornly refuse to let the propaganda of the regime work on me. Their messaging will not trick my brain into shutting down and submitting.

Trump suggested that Washington, D.C.’s national parks could be converted into golf courses during a event with police and military officials. Speaking from the U.S. Park Police’s Anacostia Operations Facility,
...and don't have the *time* or energy to go digging for good information, *AND* Oh and as far as you know (because that is what everyone has always told you) "Your vote doesn't count, everything is rigged anyway". Why would you waste your limited time and energy going out of your way to vote?
I wasn't talking about Trump voters, I was talking about the people who didn't vote. If voting is difficult (and republicans always work to make it more difficult) and time consuming. You don't have any sources of news you trust...
Native bees are particularly good for early spring blooming fruit trees because, like Mason bees, can fly in lower temperatures earlier in the year then honeybees, but stop pollinating in the heat of summer where the honeybees keep going!
Oh yeah, I like native bees a lot! I foster native bees in my yard. I just like honeybees too! I want both to be healthy and thrive. Tomatoes are also self fertile and can be wind pollinated (from being shaken around, a lot like buzz pollination) but bumblebees are wonderful aren't they?
Education, education, education. The more people are educated, the lower the birth rate without putting in any other measures. But! The number of people isn't really the problem! We have enough, produce enough, for *everyone* already here to live nice lives if the profit motive wasn't a factor.
This video by ParkrosePerma@bsky.social is very apropos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBKV...
Not the way honeybees work, when faced with more then they need they store the excess and keep gathering more. And you would only use the supplement when there wasn't pollen to gather.
Absolutely!
to cast a vote that (all the information she has access to tells her) doesn't matter? She doesn't. Of course she doesn't. Does it feel stupid to us? Sure. Is she stupid/being stupid from what she knows? Nope.
and if all the information she has picked up from her admittedly limited news is that both parties are the same and her vote doesn't matter. Why would she take time off of work (causing lost pay, if she even can), drive who knows how far, wait who knows how long in line...
We can only work with the information we have access to, and we only have a finite amount of time and energy to use for all things. A single mom with three kids working 2 jobs isn't stupid because she doesn't have the time to do deep dive research on political topics...
I live in Washington State the Okanagan highlands are beautiful, but I wouldn't recommend visiting the US until we have done a lot of work fixing this mess.
And people from progressive US states aren't traveling to regressive US states either. I don't want people to suffer needlessly but I just don't think the USA is safe right now.
Humans are migratory, that is part of human nature. We travel. There with out the profit motive f*ing things up we would be fine. Anyway our population is starting to naturally decline (the growth has slowed and will stop and reverse, on its own). I am more worried about Climate Change.
It doesn't replace nectar, the bees would still go out for that regardless but it would probably only be fed seasonally (or if there is a dearth) anyway. And yeah, looks like that is what happens. We already feed them pollen supplements this is just a better one.
Humans are part of the world, we are as natural as anything else. Get rid of the profit motive and most problems caused by "humans" go away.
It isn't everything they need, most honeybee hives in the US are fed during the winter anyway (because we take to much of their honey).
Most of our crops are pollinated by honeybees because the crops aren't native... we need both. Native bees are great! I absolutely love them, and I plant plants to help support them, but honeybees are good too. Wanting honeybees to thrive doesn't mean a person is against supporting native bees!
It is a stop gap to buy us time to figure out a better long term solution. So it is a good thing, a very good thing, but it doesn't mean the situation is *solved* just temporarily mitigated.
It curdled in the 80’s like spoiled milk medium.com/the-polis/ho...
Probably at least half faced substantial disenfranchisement tactics, and all of them (and the rest of us) have being under a massive wave of propaganda about how their vote doesn't matter. Yeah there are some that didn't out of "laziness" but even they are part of a system that keeps us exhausted.
No, I don't think so? This is a youtuber I follow that I thought was relevant right now.
Obviously higher reading levels are generally better, but I am more worried about critical thinking skills, and I am not just talking about Mississippi but nation wide.
No, just no. The majority of people in Mississippi can read at a at at least the 5th grade level (the same as the rest of the US). Which is usually fine for the most part, most literature and news are written at about that level. Science news is about the 8th grade level.
Proton VPN... my dude(non gendered 😜) and you get the bonus of getting Japanese ads (if you use the Japanese free server) which are *wild*.
Government *is* a part of the community, or at least it is suppose to be. Taking care of things that are too big, too expensive, for individuals to handle.
Last chance to save our democracy. It’s really that urgent! 2028 will be too late!
They are gerrymandered to hell and back, lots of voter suppression too! There are *no* Red states, just gerrymandered Purple ones.
One of the great deceptions of our age is that men somehow re-branded *anger* as *not an emotion*.

That is what I mean by everyone is being impacted equally, but only some people are showing symptoms. Does that make sense?
... Now the average man/masc is at *5* points (not good) The average child is at 7 points (poor lonely little beans) and the average women/fem are at 10 points (they aren't showing symptoms of loneliness, yet, but they are burning though their reserves to maintain it).
... lets say you only start to suffer from the symptoms of loneliness at 8 points, and there is a natural fluctuation of points between individuals and depending on what is going on in their lives etc. But a cultural event happens *Cough-Covid-Cough* that subtracts 5 points from everyone's pools
Which is sort of what I said? If you think of it as a points system, Humans "naturally" have 20 points but because of Toxic Individualism Men and masc's would have an average of 10 socialization points Children would have an average of 12 points Women and Fems have an average of 15 points
... of toxic individualism in our society. I think that it is probably impacting everyone (regardless of sex or gender) about the same amount, but women and fems (who have maintained greater sociological interdependence do to cultural factors) have been insulated from some of the negative effects.
Which is true, at least insofar as I wouldn't blame any child for a cultural state. Also, I would only "blame" men insofar as that they are trying to shift the responsibility towards others rather then working on themselves. Really what I think is going on is more that this is the natural result

All of this to say, the MLE is not the responsibly of women or fems to fix, it isn't being caused by women/fems at all. Most of the MLE movement is focused how fems aren't "doing their jobs like they use to" of taking care of masc's emotional needs.
...with the "MLE" but I would suspect that it is not exclusive to "male" children, and if it is (somehow) confined to the male children that is on the adults (particularly the adult men around them, but also the media, etc) not encouraging close friendships and emotional sharing, between boys.
