It doesnβt matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. Itβll never cease to amaze me that people donβt care that itβs happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

A picture of Native milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) are essential for monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) caterpillars and support a diversity of pollinators with their abundant nectar. By including milkweeds in gardens, landscaping, wildlife habitat restoration projects, and native revegetation efforts, you can provide breeding habitat for monarchs as well as a valuable nectar source for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
How come βHow are you going to pay for it?β is never asked about endless war?
Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight, with over 1,330 species worldwide that play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, seed dispersers, and, most notably, natural pest controlβconsuming tons of insects nightly. They use echolocation for navigation, can live over 30 years, and are highly social, with some colonies numbering in the millions.

Bats are important predators of mosquitoes and night-flying insects and can reduce these pests around your home and garden. Help keep these valuable mammals in your area by building a house for roosting and to raise their young.

Wow, that is gorgeous. And a lot of work.
Your birdbath gets 5-10 visitors a day. This hack makes it 50-100. The secret: dripping water. Birds hear dripping water from 100+ feet away. Still water is invisible to them β they can't see a shallow dish from above. But the SOUND of a drip hitting water is a universal bird signal: "Water here. Safe. Come." THE DRIP HACK β 2 MINUTES: MATERIALS: β 1 plastic milk jug or 2-liter bottle (from your recycling: $0) β 1 thumbtack or small nail β String or wire to hang it METHOD: β Poke ONE hole in the bottom of the jug with a thumbtack. One hole. Tiny. The size of a pin. β Fill with water. β Hang it 12-18 inches ABOVE your birdbath so the drip lands in the water. β Tie it to a shepherd's hook, branch, or pole above the bath. β Adjust the hole size: you want 1 drip per second. Too fast = empty too quickly. Too slow = no audible signal. THE PHYSICS: β Each drip creates a concentric ripple on the water surface. Moving water reflects light in flashing patterns visible from 50+ feet above β birds in flight can spot the flashing. β The impact sound travels 100-150 feet through suburban ambient noise. In a quiet morning, further. β Ripples prevent mosquito larvae from establishing β mosquitoes need STILL water for 7-10 days. One drip per second keeps the surface in constant motion. THE RESULT: A backyard birding study compared identical birdbaths with and without drippers: β Drip bath: average 47 visits per day (12 species) β Still bath: average 8 visits per day (4 species) β That's a 488% increase from one pinhole in a milk jug. WHO COMES (species that respond specifically to dripping sound): β Warblers during spring migration β these canopy birds almost NEVER come to ground level. A drip brings them down. β Thrushes (Wood Thrush, Hermit Thrush) β secretive ground birds that follow water sounds. β Cedar Waxwings β travel in flocks of 20-40. One finds the drip, the flock follows. Spectacular. β All your regular visitors β but more often, and they stay longer. MAINTENAβ¦

Third option. Apology from Trump for his remarks, as well as apology from US men's team for laughing at remarks.
Watching the mens hockey team locker room video actually made me sick. The womans hockey team are hard working, accomplished, talented women who just won a gold medal at the fucking olympics and are reduced to a joke and framed as a burden. Genuinely fuck everyone in that video.
Oh, thank you! I post most on Instagram, although I hate supporting Meta π
I used to knit...basic. Tried to do it again at a Fibre festival. But my heart wasn't in it. I wish it were because I love knitted colourwork, the gorgeous sweaters and mittens. I'm down deep in the rabbit hole of crochet now, WIPs to finish, and collecting way too much yarn!
That's great! Wonderful colour, too.
Bella Coco has great how to crochet videos. She doesn't forget to include the little extra movements that some instructors are doing intuitively but forget to include in the instructions. This makes her instructions very clear.
I love her Norden chicken, too. Regrettably, I don't knit. Love to crochet. Crocheted an emotional support chicken.
That is a gorgeous chicken!
