@ai6yr omg, is that normal to have so many at the start of a move in?

Native bee trying to warm up on a Romneya petal. Today, we're almost 10F below average and expecting heat wave in a few days. Bee is possibly a Melissodes.

After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! here we come.

First night: Sacramento-ish.

Hmm, I should know what this weed is, temporarily adding it to my #mysteryplant list. (Update: this is almost certainly Pseudognaphalium californicum -- California Rabbit-Tobacco) #plants

It's like you've got the beginning of Gibson's interstitial communities and rise in homelessness combined with disposable tech AND you've got the environmental distress and gaslighting from authorities in PKD novels. Oh and don't forget to throw in the rise in malevolent and DUMB AI from the Terminator flicks

Truly the worst possible timeline.

“Provocative.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 GET HIM OFF THE COURT. Gift: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html?unlocked_article_code=1.t00.Ihnd.LkwD_75RA6zD&smid=url-share

“Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Home

The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html

@GottaLaff everday that passes without these justices being removed & the court being expanded, I think of SCOTUS FAQs: "The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law."

Don't give up on wild native bees in the city...

This is a solitary bee just starting its life. It visits these last Phacelia blooms over & over. Eventually, the bee will move over to other flower varieties that are coming on strong.

Diversity in plants & habitats makes the difference on this small scale. Native bees forage over hundreds of yards-not miles like honey bees.

annuals + perennials + standing stems + open ground - leaf blowers - pesticides

🧵 Even before I formed @ucaccessnow, I persisted through campus channels trying to get them to acknowledge that cycle racks ALSO have to be accessible, not car parking spaces. After months of brick walls with UC and my union, I got a meeting with the head of UC Davis TAPS, who

@meganL @ucaccessnow thank you for your tireless work & advocacy! When I was a teacher, I had many students with different abilities who aspired to go to UC campuses. I completely agree design, in all ways, should include everyone. It's a failure of UC decision makers to not recognize your leadership. @fedibikes @disability @bikenite
