[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

There are about 18,000 species of wasps in North America. Roughly 20 of them can hurt you.

The wasps people fear are all from one family: Vespidae. They make up less than 1% of wasp species on the continent. They build the visible nests, they defend them aggressively, and they're the ones you remember from a bad encounter.

The other 99% live solitary lives and ignore humans entirely. Many can't sting at all. Many more have stingers but never use them on people because they don't have a nest to defend.

What they do instead is hunt other insects. A single mud dauber stocks her nest with paralyzed spiders, including widows and recluses. A braconid wasp lays eggs in tomato hornworms. An ichneumon wasp parasitizes wood-boring beetles that kill ash trees. A cuckoo wasp infiltrates the nests of other wasps and bees. Some species control aphids; others control caterpillars, beetle grubs, or flies.

Most agricultural pest insects in North America are controlled, in part, by parasitic wasps that almost no human ever sees. There are over 25,000 species of ichneumon wasps alone, and they keep entire orders of insects in check.

The five or so wasp species that ruin a picnic in late August are real. The 17,995 species that are running the pest control infrastructure of an entire continent get almost none.

Chaofeng Ge’s death in ICE custody was ruled a suicide despite his hands and feet being bound behind his back.

His family are desperate for answers.

Share his story.

Demand transparency.

You can’t hang yourself with your limbs bound.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Tony Gilroy says the 'clown car in Washington' appears to be using the same 'Fascism for Dummies' playbook he referenced when writing the Empire in 'Andor'

"it’s the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy that you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can so that nobody can pay attention to what just happened, and pray that you have an overwhelming majority of sheep that will follow you. It’s just tragically and sadly familiar. It’s on them; it’s not on us"

On AI regulation, he says 'there [couldn't] be a worse bunch of clowns in charge of it right now'

"You couldn’t set the bar any lower than where it’s being set in Washington right now"

Doing this to a group thats literally JUST proven their ability and willingness to murder civilians is incredibly brave. If you can’t understand that there’s no hope for you.

People are mobilizing all over the country but it’s purposely not getting coverage. They want us to feel hopeless & isolated. We need to amplify every video & picture of mass strikes & protests & actions
