Recent research suggests that if food is scarce hungry #bumblebees will chew on plant leaves - not to eat them - but to stress the plant causing it to #flower thus providing earlier #pollen for the bees.
Chew on that! 🤯

Happy Danish Overshoot Day! Today, 28th March, is the date on which Denmark’s demand for ecological resources this year has exceeded what Earth can regenerate before the end of the year.

To celebrate, here’s a bench raised to the height of the floods that 'will be an everyday occurrence if we don’t act’. I snapped the photo very quickly last July before rushing back indoors. It was 34,3°, the hottest ever recorded in Odense. So far.

Today’s one month since my surgery to remove cancerous neuroendocrine tumors. After 10 days in the hospital in Houston, I got home to San Antonio to recover. Thank you to everyone — friends, strangers, and even some folks who can’t stand my politics — who’ve reached out.

I’m especially grateful to my family for being so supportive and understanding. And to my doctors and nurses for helping me recover after the surgery. I still have a ways to go but I’m getting there. Finally, thanks to my amazing staff! I’ll be back on the job in DC in mid-April.

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

I’m looking for an experienced #SoundDesign peep to create a soundtrack for a Film I made for the #IWM Imperial War Museum Duxford. The film was projected onto a huge aircraft hanger, and told the story of the formation of the parachute regiment, & its part in the opening hours of DDay.
It's being rehoused inside the main exhibition, and needs a narrated soundtrack, as well as SFX to accompany the action.

Here's the Film:

28 March 1921 | A Pole, Jerzy Bielecki, was born. He was a prisoner of Auschwitz no. 243 (first transport of Poles to the camp from 14 June 1940).

On 21 July 1944 he escaped from the camp in an SS uniform taking with him a Polish Jewish female prisoner Cyla Cybulska. They were in love.

Hey all I am totally exhausted from a long day of meetings, negotiations, and anxiety over the future. Closing the laptop for now though I'll be back if there's any updates tonight. Please keep sharing the GoFundMe, thank you so much. I wish I had the spoons to reply to everyone individually.—Kit @oconnell

Canada's news system has been seized, bought sold off, and is now under the control of a far right American Corporation (most Canadian Newspapers large and small)

There are a handfull of excellent small regional papers, Halifx Examiner for example, and The Tyee. The Tyee has come to Mastodon, and thats great, its a great paper, swining and landing far about its weight, more than regional paper, well worth a follow, maybe even a bell.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on...

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

@MeidasTouch Wait, the former publisher of the National Enquirer is named David Pecker? How did I not know that? I love when reality is ridiculous like that.
