    Hey YubaNet so GOOD to see you on #Mastodon! We’re slowly rebuilding our local #community here and you’re a big part of it.

    Thanks for the heads up on the #RiverFlow. The Sierra’s are beautiful, our snow-pack so needed after years of #drought & #fires. The #PreciousWaters are filling our #rivers, but it does come with hazards for those who are unaware. #BeSafe out there people.

    In addition to the #Airglow phenomena, I am mesmerized by watching our beautiful #Earth with its protective atmosphere bubble rotating in the vastness of #space. There we are. That’s us! All of humanity, each individual person’s life, their thoughts, struggles & triumphs. Every Country, every #race, every #species, every #SentientBeing, every #molecule. Absolutely #breathtaking !

    Wonderful news! Increase of 237 porpoises in 5 years. Let’s hope the populations of the other species of #endangered #RiverPorpoises does the same.

    "Incredible results like these for the Yangtze finless #porpoise remind us that there is still hope for the world's other five remaining species of river dolphins – all of which are threatened with #extinction."

  8. @Yudron I also live in #RuralCalifornia in a similar political environment. A blue dot in a red county, in a blue state. It’s good that you went. A sense of #community is so important, you & everybody there matters. The GOP base of haters & dividers is shrinking. What is that quote by Margaret Mead? ….. ”Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.”

  15. @SecularJeffrey @adriennelacava @the_real_hal
    Yes, #MexicanGrayWolf is the most #endangered sub species of wolves in the world. They lack #GeneticDiversity & it’s critical for them to be able to pass freely between the US & Mexico. Trump & his #BorderWall put the species into even greater peril. One wolf was observed pacing at the wall for 23 miles, unable to continue south.

  16. @the_real_hal @SecularJeffrey #Wolves aren’t just predators they’re #ApexPredators. They’re central to the functioning of #ecosystems, regulation of disease & the maintenance of #biodiversity. They help to maintain healthy populations of prey species by taking out the old, sick & injured. Wolves in fact are beneficial. They make everything around them stronger, healthier, more agile & alert. The Yellowstone is an excellent example of this.

  17. @Defiance From what I understand it’s a simple majority, in the senate for example 51 to 49. Just learned this; in US history there’s been as few as 5 and as many as 10 #SupremeCourtJustices. The number has been changed 7 times before.

  18. @pdbowman @bodhidave Wow, this is an excellent resource. I definitely support this work. Thank you. …. Boosting 🚀

  19. @Bon_Jardin Yes, I certainly hope so. Ultimately, I do not believe the will prevail. However the mighty do grind ever so slowly. 😞


  20. @bodhidave Great! More good news at the #PublicLibrary system level. 👍. ..I’m still concerned about the #SchoolLibraies & #ClassroomLibraries (public & private) which have been especially targeted by those who hate & seek to divide. They’re controlled by Board members of individual school districts.
