I am a naturalist and native plant gardener, fascinated by the natural world. I am working to convert my suburban yard into a functioning ecosystem. I love dogs, birding, books, fossils, hiking, France, international travel, sketching and kayaking. Penn State grad. I want to learn, evolve and become a better human.

One out of 12 rams (male sheep) is uninterested in females and prefers the company of males. They are deemed “non-procreative” (worthless to a farmer) and sent to slaughter. So this German farmer, Michael Stücke, rescues the gay rams and forms the company Rainbow Wool, selling wool from the gay sheep. Collaboration between Rainbow Wool and Grindr resulted in a fashion show called I Wool Survive. It featured 36 unique looks by designer Michael Schmidt, made entirely from the wool of the gay sheep, and celebrating queer identity through knitted and crocheted archetypes like Fireman, Sailor, Jock, Daddy and more. Proceeds from sales went to LGBTQA charitable organizations.
In a culture of Stephen Miller and Peter Thiel, be a Michael Stücke or a Michael Schmidt. Make art, make beautiful things, make people laugh, promote inclusivity, promote fabulousness- and find a way to accept whatever you consider “useless sheep.” Maybe instead of killing them, help them become Rainbow Wool. RESIST. And do it in style, if you can.

Wise. “The currency of today’s oligarchs is attention. It is what makes them money and what gives them power. Admiration or outrage, it doesn’t matter: When we give them our attention, they define the terms of discussion.”

Relative quiet in Aleppo, but sporadic fighting continues

The government says that its forces are now at the centre of Sheikh Maqsoud and that the majority of SDF fighters have laid down their arms. It says those fighters have been taken on buses to be transported to the city of Tabqa in Raqqa province, where the SDF is in control.

However, the government says there are still some SDF factions that are fighting back and refusing to lay down their arms and surrender.

Somali sisters brought free sambusa and Somali tea for everyone who came to share the moment and support the community."

Hi folks,
So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.

This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
I would die for Beans.

Deprive them of sleep :-)

Just remember: this massive federal force in Minneapolis has no home base, no supplies, no food, no protected hospital, no gasoline. They are staying in your hotels, eating in your restaurants, and filling up at your stations.

Starve the fucking nazis.

god, there’s apparently ICE agents in Bemidji, in northern MN. Bemidji is between my reservation and two others. there is very little diversity besides the Indigenous population. truly terrifying with how vulnerable Native women especially already are.
