WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.
On beaches around the world, shells have declined by 60-70% over the last few decades. Hermit crabs are left to live in our trash.
A 30-year study in southwest Florida documented the shell loss as tourism rose 300%. Researchers found no other factor that could explain the drop. The cause was tourists, picking up one shell at a time.
30% of wild hermit crabs are already wearing shells that are too small for them. In spring, when crabs grow fastest, that number jumps to 60%. Crabs without proper shells get killed by predators, can't reproduce, or fight each other for the few good shells left.
Collecting shells, rocks, and driftwood is illegal in US National Parks and most state beaches. The reasoning is what the data shows: at the scale of millions of visitors, "just one" becomes the whole beach.
Take the photo. Leave the shell. Somebody's looking for a house.

They quietly brought back cyanide bombs on public lands.
Spring-loaded traps that fire sodium cyanide into animals’ faces.
These devices have reportedly killed pets, endangered wildlife, and even injured children in past incidents. And now they’re back.
What kind of country are we becoming?
IT’S TIME
Dear California gov candidates,
🚨 There are 61 candidates in this race. SIXTY ONE!
That’s how we hand the general election to TWO Republicans.
If you’re still in single digits, the window has closed. If you care about the Democratic Party, do the right thing. Drop out. Be loud about it. Endorse a Democrat who can make the top two. That’s how you actually help.
And respect to everyone who ran, you’ve done the work and elevated the conversation. Now it’s about finishing this the right way.
“Shame on you Jeff Bezos”

Actually, we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
There has never been a more important moment for library supporters to step into leadership.

@TheNerdyCatLady My cat eats FF pate and gravy lovers. He's got a sensitive stomach and he's been fine. I checked the SKUs just in case. Thx for the heads up!
