The single most powerful thing you can do for backyard wildlife is… stop doing so much. Seriously. Some of the biggest wins come from doing nothing. Stop raking your leaves. That “mess” is prime real estate. Fireflies overwinter in it. Bumblebee queens hibernate there. Luna moths spin cocoons in it. Toads, salamanders, and snakes use it for shelter. Stop cutting back perennials in fall. Those hollow stems are ready-made nesting tubes for native bees. Leave them standing and cut them back in late spring (leaving 12–15 inch stubs). Stop spraying. Mosquito services, lawn pesticides, even many “natural” sprays kill way more than you think. Insects are the foundation of the whole food web. No bugs, no baby birds, no toads, no bats. Stop mowing so often. Yards mowed every 2–3 weeks (or less) have way more bees and flowers than weekly-mowed lawns. Those “weeds” like dandelions and clover are critical early food for emerging bees. Stop ripping out “weedy” patches. That goldenrod and asters feed far more pollinators than most fancy ornamentals ever will. Most traditional landscaping advice is about making your yard look tidy from the street. Wildlife doesn’t care about tidy. It cares about shelter, food, and safety. Be like me. Just crack a beer and do nothing. For the Earth.

78% of abortions occur before 9 weeks 92% of abortions occur before 13 weeks 6% of abortions occur between 14–20 weeks 100% are none of your fucking business

In reaction to the CNN report on the “online rape academy” that gets 62 million visits per month, something kind of remarkable is happening on Threads: hundreds of women are sharing the full names and last known locations of men who raped them.

It really is wild to have lived through four years of reporters staking out grocery store parking lots and never shutting the fuck up about the price of eggs go radio silent on gas prices going up like 40% in six weeks directly b/c Trump attacked Iran.

This is actually hilarious. Fuck Microsoft

I like where this is going 👍

They're going to kill your sons and daughters in a pointless war, take away your grandma's insulin, and deport your neighbor because they're too brown, but at least you'll also be paying 2-3x as much for gas and groceries. 🤷‍♂️

We're at the point where we fact check the acting US president with the twitter feed of the IRGC commander.

You're laughing? A cop testified under oath that he does not know if Afroman fucked his wife, and you're laughing?

Shut the fuck up

& for the lady, perhaps a fucking break?

War is the worst thing in the world. Westerners talk about it like it's a fucking video game, like "hurr durr, we just go in there and achieve our objectives and win," when really war means shredding human bodies to bits. Children burning to death in front of their parents. People holding their own guts in their hands as their life slowly slips away. People getting trapped under rubble and dying excruciatingly slow deaths of suffocation or dehydration. People picking up pieces of their beloved family members. Westerners are able to hold this compartmentalized video game mentality about war because war isn't something that happens to us. We've never had bombs dropped on our neighborhoods. We've never had the experience of seeing a severed hand on the ground after an explosion and trying to figure out who it belonged to. We've never had the experience of seeing our child's shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we'd carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before. We just see the movies. The propagandistic war documentaries. The sanitized news reports. It's not real to us. It's not personal. It's just this cutesy Hollywood image of sexy Good Guys doing flips and spin-kicking evil Bad Guys off cliffs. You know this is true, because if it wasn't then nobody would support US wars. If westerners had an actual, visceral understanding of what war really is and what it actually means, and if they could truly, deeply grasp that the people on the receiving end of those airstrikes are human beings just like them, there's no way they'd support inflicting such nightmares upon their fellow man. Which is why everything in our civilization is aimed at hiding that reality from us. War is made to look heroic and glamorous. Middle easterners are framed as deranged subhuman savages. The flesh-and-bone consequences of western warmongering are hidden from public view as much as possible. They need to do this because the western empire depends on war. War is the glue that holds the empire together. They need the mass-scale bloodshed to continue, and they need the public to provide no resistance to the bloodshed. The empire cannot exist without war. Peace cannot exist without the removal of the empire. You watch these bespectacled pundits and pampered politicians babbling about war the way they'd talk about their plans for a kitchen renovation or a trip to Paris, and you just know if actual war ever showed up on their doorstep they'd literally soil themselves. They'd never recover. They'd spend the rest of their lives in shock and trauma, because what they saw would have shaken them irreparably to their very core. It would impact them in this way because war is the worst thing in the world. Anyone with a functioning empathy center and a truth-based worldview would move mountains to prevent war from happening. And yet we are ruled by sociopaths who actively seek it out. War is the worst thing in the world, and we are ruled by the worst people in the world. The world will never know peace until we cease to allow such creatures to rule over us.

It’s giving false flag, babes 💅

Good fucking morning to everybody except the ICE agents who kidnapped a blind man, realized they had no basis to deport him, and then released him five miles from his home. He died, scared and alone, just trying to find his way back to his house. That’s evil.

Bad Bunny should do an alternative State of the Union address

Let the bodies hit the floooooor

So our government is basically like "no don't mess with that— that's a load-bearing child sex trafficking ring"
