That still means there's over 2000 data centers. Reject them all, tear down the facilities, & bring it back to pastureland

This adorable Gecko was already ENDANGERED from mining and feral animals... now it has to contend with the impacts of AI data centres sucking water out of one of the DRIEST places on earth. 😭

Straight women absolutely do not see queer women as girls OR gays. To them, girls are straight girls and gays are gay boys and that’s it. Lesbians are something else entirely, most of them act like we are aliens

Why buy a bird feeder when you can plant one?

Birds don't just need seeds, they need insects too. A pair of Carolina chickadees needs between 6,000 and 9,000 caterpillars to raise one brood. Those caterpillars live on specific native plants, none of which are in a bird feeder.

The bird feeder you should be planting, in rough order of value:

Oaks. 557 caterpillar species, more than any other North American genus. Plant one and you've done more for birds than a decade of sunflower seeds.

Native cherries and plums. 456 caterpillar species. Berries for dozens of bird species.

Native willows. 455 caterpillar species. Also the #1 plant for native specialist bees.

Serviceberry. Berries ripen in early summer right when birds are feeding nestlings. Eaten by 40+ species.

Elderberry. High-fat berries that fuel migration.

Native dogwoods. Berries eaten by 100+ bird species.

Goldenrod, asters, native sunflowers are great too. The seeds feed winter birds and the foliage hosts hundreds of caterpillars.

this Datacenter is only 200 meters from the zoo. These things make constant noise & heat the surrounding areas by up to 16 degrees. The Nashville Zoo is home to over 350 species of Leopards, Tigers, Rhinos, Zebras, Giraffes, Alligators, Monkeys, & more. Please sign the petition

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

Not the kind of thing I usually post, but I spent yesterday with five other volunteers laying an ass whooping on an invasive Chinese wisteria that was strangling a willow oak to death.

Chinese wisteria is one of the most destructive invasive plants in the southeastern US. It climbs 70 feet up native trees, develops trunks up to 15 inches in diameter, and slowly strangles its host.

The tree we worked on is a willow oak, a native species. A single oak supports over 500 species of caterpillars, more than any other native plant genus in North America. Lose the oak and you lose the caterpillars. Lose the caterpillars and there's nothing to feed baby birds.

A note on what you're looking at in the photos:

The vines high in the canopy weren't removable, so we cut every vine at the base, treated the cut stumps to prevent regrowth, and left the upper vines to die in place. The vines were cut high enough to prevent new vines from grabbing on.

Over the next year or two, the dead vines will dry out and the tree should slowly free itself as the brittle vines break off in storms.

Arborists will tell you that a tree this far gone doesn't always make it. We tried to give it a chance.
