Twitter has nothing on these 1912 papers roasting the Titanic situation. And there were ppl trying to make us feel guilty, pffff.

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙

I don't always do spring cleaning, but when I do I move the dirt and rocks from this corner to that corner.

Let’s hear it for the brine shrimp — our new state crustacean! 👏🦐 In Utah, these cool aquatic critters are only found in the Great Salt Lake, and they play a huge role in that ecosystem. Learn more about this new state symbol: https://t.co/g446w2BuZv

👀❄Snowpack update before this next storm:

-State-wide 139% of median
-All basins averages remain above normal.

How much will these numbers increase over the next 4 days? A widespread 2-4 inches + of snow water equivalent is expected in most mountain areas. #utwx

Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

I’m yelling into the void- If people would plant native plants in their entire yard instead of grass they wouldn’t have to mow, spray, water, or manage the area much after a few years of growth. And they would have many pretty flowering plants & cute native species to admire.

Coming out of the woods to celebrate my 100th day on trail as a wilderness therapy guide! This job has been my most challenging and rewarding experience yet. I’m thankful to be sleeping under the stars so often & learning as much from my students as I teach them. #adventureheals

Got my first pictures of Mantra in her harness yesterday! I can see from the expression on her face how proud she is to be a working girl. Moments like these make all the sacrifices worth it and I can’t wait to see where she ends up ❣️

yes, sharks can outswim you. but you can outrun sharks. so far in a triathlon you’re square. all comes down to who’s the faster cyclist
