For younger people: this is not normal. Older folks have lived entire lifetimes and never experienced schools being closed due to widespread illness - until now.

The shape of your pollinator garden matters more than its size.

Most native bees have small foraging ranges. Peer-reviewed research on solitary bees found female flight distances of just 73 to 121 meters from the nest. A small bee born in your neighbor's yard might not reliably reach a flower patch in the middle of your yard if there's a length of mowed grass between them.

What works is linear pollinator habitat. A strip along a fence line, a corridor along the driveway, or a narrow band of natives running the full length of the property is best.

A 2018 study in the journal Ecography found that the length of linear semi-natural habitat was the single strongest predictor of wild bee species richness and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. Bees track edges.

A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 island in the middle of the lawn. The strip gives pollinators a route to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape.

The effect multiplies when your neighbors do the same. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs, and so on.

TODAY: Flock Security camera torn down in Plainfield Township, MI.

People have begun ripping down these cameras across the country due to privacy concerns over mass surveillance.

Public backlash also intensified after third party audits revealed that FLOCK data was being shared with federal agencies including ICE.

This @grist and @Underscorenews story is the most captivating and comprehensive chronicle of the Klamath dam removal campaign to date. We highly recommend you give it a read.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

After the dams came down on the Klamath River, the Yurok Tribe didn't wait for nature to fix itself.

For decades, four hydroelectric dams turned a living river into stagnant reservoirs. They blocked salmon and steelhead from 400 miles of spawning grounds, fueled toxic algae blooms, and raised water temperatures past what the fish could survive.

When the last dam came down in late 2024, the river ran free again. But the exposed reservoir beds, 2,200 acres of bare sediment, were unstable and wide open to invasive species.

So the Yurok Tribe got to work. Along a 38-mile stretch, tribal crews hand-sowed billions of native plant seeds, planted 76,000 trees and shrubs, and seeded 28,000 acorns.

Nearly 100 native plant species. All by hand. All from seeds collected locally and grown out specifically for the restoration.

It's already working. Salmon are spawning in the Upper Klamath Basin for the first time in over a century. Lupines and willows are stabilizing the banks. The river is breathing again.

The Klamath is now the largest dam removal and river restoration project in US history, and the people doing the heaviest lifting are the ones who have lived along that river for thousands of years.

The worst part about getting an ai review is knowing they put your manuscript into an LLM without permission. Especially when specifically told not to do this (in bold text in the email). It feels so violating.

it’s so fucking outrageous how common it is for medical facilities to have their air purifiers not in use—so often i have to turn on or first plug in these long-abandoned tools for cleaning the air. this timeline is committed to misery.

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

The Covid cautious might be a small minority but so many failing workplaces are being held together by those same few. It’s all hanging by a thread, and that thread is comprised of the small fraction of the population sensible enough to not catch a brain damaging virus repeatedly

[Harry Spoelstra @HarrySpoelstra]

There are plenty of world-class L0ngC0vid experts far smarter than I am.

But I bring something they don’t: I’m a CV surgeon and endovascular specialist. I’ve had hearts, lungs, arteries, and other organs literally in my hands. I’ve seen their insides, healthy and ravaged, with my own eyes.

That gives me one brutal, irreplaceable edge: I can take the science and translate it straight into the living, bleeding reality of human anatomy.

And what I see coming is ugly.

You, personally and as a society, are in for one hell of a shock.

Read this 🧵👇

If you keep minimising SARSCoV2, refuse to protect yourselves, and keep swallowing the lies of pseudo-experts chasing money or psychiatrists salivating over a fresh FND goldmine… you’re walking straight into disaster.

Tell every last one of them to https://t.co/rw58iRjUf4 off!

Then follow the hard, unfolding science.👇

Your organs don’t care about opinions. They only care about damage. And the damage is already stacking up, be it momentarily maybe still clinically "silent"! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections

[David It Up! @Dave_it_up]

We’re a primary care practice in Vermont. We implemented a practice-wide protocol screening every patient at every encounter for recent SARS-CoV-2 infection history. What we’re observing in our panel is not consistent with a psychosomatic framework.

We’re seeing measurable, objective increases in new-onset hypertension, acute cardiovascular events, new-onset allergic disease, and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus, all temporally correlated with infection history. These are not symptom reports. These are clinical findings.

[Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms]

BREAKING: Three counties in Texas have declared local state of disaster declarations on the New World Screwworm: Kinney, Jim Webb and Uvalde

Three others are pending: Webb, La Salle and Val Verde

The reasoning behind these declarations is because they feel they are not getting the federal nor state support needed to combat this crisis

Its long past due for the President to declare a National Emergency Declaration so local officials on the front lines are getting the support they need

[Jon Douglas @atranscendedman]

NIH taught me one thing.

If you want to be heard, put it in the federal record.

Now it's FDA's turn.

Long COVID should be prioritized for drug repurposing, adaptive NIH/FDA platform trials and insurance coverage.
