Now seems like a great time to mention a couple of organizations that are going to need additional help to meet the need.

Rainbow Railroad & PFLAG

https://www.rainbowrailroad.org

"We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.
In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."

#PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.

I didn't know that *wolves* can pollinate plants.

This is an Ethiopian wolf, the most endangered predator in Africa. These wolves like to lick sweet nectar off a flower called the Ethiopian red hot poker. And as they go from flower to flower, their muzzles get dusted with pollen! So while it's not yet *proved* that these wolves are important as pollinators, it seems awfully likely.

Scientists think these wolves don't get much of their caloric intake from this nectar. The “dessert hypothesis” says the wolves just like the taste!

For more, check out this open-access paper:

Ideas on Fire

Hey all, have you had a chance to read Christina's latest blog post? It's called "There Is No Perfect System" and it is a pretty provocative conversation-starter. Can we admit that we might need to work on our social skills? Can we walk the walk of community instead of just talking the talk and hoping for the best? Is there a point to changing the system we live under if we can't change the people in that system right now?

There Is No Perfect System — Solarpunk Presents

There’s no dipping one’s toe into the solarpunk stream without noticing that although not all solarpunks are anarchists, there is a strong sense in solarpunk that we won’t be living happily, freely, and sustainably until we dismantle both capitalism and the state. Ah, but if only it was only capit
