Tuesdays can never come soon enough now that I'm a fanatical Eleceed fan. But I am thankful that this morning I saw a bobcat rather than the god-like Kaiden Break in his feline disguise. Massachusetts is too drought stricken to have lightening bolts tossed all about.
Used to be that watching birds @ bird feeder was about birds. This morning, it was about seeing a never-seen-before bobcat dispatch a squirrel. Might be 1st report for Boxford, Ma, but BC's are increasingly common all around New England. Still waiting on a puma.
What a great world we would have if all we had left was the left…
So this Massachusetts resident was just admiring the rhododendron flowers but did not see EVEN ONE species of pollinator, or any insect species at all. I guess all those eco-fascist academic types must have gotten something right.
DYK nearly half of all people with Cerebral Palsy also live with #Epilepsy? #CP is caused by brain damage or abnormal development, often before or around birth. Listen as @patchcomedy310.bsky.social describes his life as a comedian navigating both conditions: brainablaze.com/the-brain-ab...

When you’re used to being the center of the universe, equality feels like oppression—and accountability feels like persecution. Republican panic.

Condemning and correcting just spreads the DISINFO we are trying to defeat. Here is how to stop doing it, with a LIST OF TERMS WE SHOULD NEVER USE in association with vaccines, Ukraine, immigrants, etc. and WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD: ReframingAmerica.Substack.com/do-not-associate
Louer l'audace du gouvernement francais face au congres Americain!
AI = accurate b/can miss a lot! So exploring "Perplexity" srch engine. I studied in Africa for 1 semester via St Lawrence U. and did PhD in Anthro for decade @Columbia. Typed in 'where did Jeffrey Hatcher study anthropology". ANSWER is SLU w/grt descrip. Nothing about CU. True/Concise/Unbalanced
Fascists.
Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...
Still trying hard to keep my politics off Bsky and solely on FB.
BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/
NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled. Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.
No one is reporting on this, even though the bird flu has reached pandemic proportions in other countries in the Americas.
Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being. www.youtube.com/@americanmed...
