I consider myself to be a mystic #humanist and believe, to paraphrase John Muir, we should live in the world, not on it. My interests, and what you might find following me:

" 'Absolutely epic': Blackfeet release wild buffalo on tribal land

(...) Blackfeet Nation transferred 30 wild buffalo (iinnii in the Blackfoot language) to tribal lands near Chief Mountain, an area steeped in Blackfeet cultural significance in the northwest corner of the reservation bordering Glacier National Park. (...) the exploratory herd was loaded into trailers and hauled to a temporary paddock within sight of Chief Mountain. There, they grazed quietly until wranglers opened the gate.

Then every buffalo rushed through, formed a single-file line and rumbled toward a distant tree line. [Chief Mountain, Blackfeet Councilman Lauren Monroe Jr.] called the moment “absolutely epic.” "

'Absolutely epic': Blackfeet release wild buffalo on tribal land

The tribe said, to their knowledge, the Blackfeet Nation is the first tribe in America to return free-roaming buffalo to their native habitat.

White-tailed #deer ­– the most abundant large mammal in North America – are harboring #SARS-CoV-2 variants that once widely circulated but are no longer found in #humans. Whether or not deer could act as long-term reservoirs for these variants that have become obsolete in people is unknown, as scientists need more time and study to verify if it’s true.

Great quote from this #skiing video about Mary Jane re: moguls: "It's an accumulation of people's styles and emotions, and you have to navigate your way through that."

RRR's Abuse and Distortion of History Is Vulgar

The movie was everything I expected it to be: extremely well made and lavishly mounted. The story was absurd and the distance from reality was of solar proportions.

#beekeepers I need advice! The weather was warm today so I went into the observation hive to swap in the comb frames - no queen!! Panic time, as I doubt anyone has mated queens in January. Then I opened up my weak green hive that I have been worried about. They still have a queen, but very few bees - a couple hundred maybe. They have a ton of stores too. I’m thinking my only option is to combine the hives somehow, but I’ve never done that. #beekeeping 1/2
I'm down to maybe a 1/4oz of Critical Orange Punch, a 1/4oz of Sugar Breath, and maybe a 1/2oz of Amnesia Haze. What's coming out of my flower room is all headed to extraction (breeding run, so seeds). I like dabs well enough but I prefer flower, truth be told.
Yes, I forced my co-workers to move a 4pm meeting to 2pm because the #snow is coming down fast now, and I want to go #skiing.
