"The forest gardens were filled with plants that benefited humans, but they also continue to provide food for birds, bears, and insect pollinators, even after 150 years of neglect."

Notice how this debunks mainstream conservationism's dichotomy between "wild" land conserved for the environment's sake, and land developed for human use. Here, human activity improved the land's use both for humans AND the wider web of life we're part of. #ecology

Attacking civilian infrastructure, especially critical infrastructure that a lot of civilians rely on – like power plants – is a war crime.

You know who else has been attacking power plants of a much smaller country? Vladimir Putin.

Excessive heat warnings, red flag warnings for wildfire conditions, and monthly temperature records being shattered yet again.

This historic heatwave continues, with temperatures made at least 5× more likely by human-caused climate change today.

Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus)

Two crows tooks turns flying from a fence to a building's roof, letting me photgraph both of them.

When I opened the window, #CharleneTheCat appeared out of nowhere and jumped up onto the windowsill. She's been sleeping this evening and had a proper yawn. ❤️
