Pink dandelion seedlings are doing so well, I might possibly get winter flowers. Fingers crossed.

Parrots video calling each other is the most adorable news I've heard in a long time 😍

Termite in amber.

This is officially the best version of this joke I've ever heard, and I want it on a mug.

Looking forward to all the piles of money I'll be making when my coloring book hits the market, with it's subject matters that have such wide appeal to audiences of all ages. I'm sure this time no one is going to find anything off putting about my art :). Yeah, I'll get that part right, this time.

That time a butterfly landed on my screen door to ask if the dogs could come out and play.

Happy #EarthDay :). This is my second favorite holiday, after Halloween. I usually plant a tree, but the car is still busted, so I can't get to any seedlings :(. But I still have seeds for #pollinators left :). This year, I'm spreading them in the overgrown alleys between trailers, not just my yard. Last year, they were already spreading to areas nearby, so I figured I'd give them a little help. We'll have the cheeriest trailer park in the city :). Here's some buddies I've found on tickseed.

This podcast is my new favorite thing. It's so hard for me to find something spooky to enjoy that doesn't also trigger my PTSD lately, the world is way too stressful. This is very sad to me, I cut my teeth on horror. This show is cool though, not gory or overly creepy, not quite Buffy flippant, but certainly "I've been practicing my spooky voice lately, would you like to hear it?" Also the occasional cool musical interlude. I can't stop listening :)

Why, yes, she IS why I recently purchased that book for myself, I want to take notes on it for the journal I will be carrying with me soon, the one I started to help me learn to talk to people and stay calm while I try to change their minds.

I want to share someone on Mastodon's plea for a new planetarium. She goes to rural towns in Oklahoma, talks about science with people who start spouting flat earth theories and other such at her, and tells them she will read one book they recommend if they do the same, then recommends Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World, and gives them her email so they can talk about it. She works hard to teach critical thinking, and a larger audience would be cool.
