Flowers! In stores March 2026. When flowers appeared on planet Earth, nothing was ever again the same. In this book, I celebrate the many ways that flowers build, sustain, and animate the living world, human life included.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and

#atlanta #conyers #decatur, chemical fire still burning. No info on what chemicals are being released. The county says "shelter in place if the plume moves over your vicinity" -- not reassuring. Yesterday the air was burned-plastic/chlorine odor

This morning, more than 1.5 million women in Iowa woke up with fewer rights than they had last night because of another Trump Abortion Ban. In November, we will stop Trumpâs extreme abortion bans at the ballot box.

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the Presidentâs endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

The same connection is present with trees, I think. The dream state of napping under a tree is very different from normal dreamtime. Would that we had more safe spaces to sleep beyond our walls.

5am wake-up from wood thrush while in my tent. Hit record on my recorder, then dozed off. On downloading recording, my breath was weirdly and wonderfully synched with the song. Sleeping outside or w/open window, surely these voices stitch themselves into our subconscious.

Seeking examples of non-human mammals seeking out flowers for their aroma. There are plenty of flower-eating primates (and other herbivores munching flowers) and flower-pollinating bats. I'm looking for non-food-oriented flower-smelling behaviors. Thank you!

"[in his book] @DGHaskell suggests that the arachnids might 'charm our nerve endings,' through some unknown physiological processâsomething akin to Fremen sandwalking on the Planet Dune, trying not to alert the giant worms..." 1st byline 4 @BackpackerMag

Many insects duet by sending vibratory pulses through the leaves that theyâre standing on. They hear one another through their legs. Inaudible in air, these vibrations shoot through plant material, linking insects in a network of song.

Love songs that predatory birds canât hear. I recorded (contact mic) and photographed these red-banded leafhoppers right outside our kitchen door, on some fireweed and roses. Graphocephala coccinea, native to North and Central America. Each insect is about 6 millimeters long. 1/2

The word you're looking for is "kill", not "catch". The ship ploughed into an endangered whale. The name of the ship is MSC Meraviglia, from @MSCCruisesUSA
As the cruise ship approached New York on Saturday, it was found to be carrying a grim, and unexpected, catch: The corpse of a 44-foot-long endangered whale, draped across its bow.
