This is Gray and Gecko. They were diagnosed with parvovirus, a highly contagious disease that can be fatal for unvaccinated puppies. To survive, they need parvo antibody treatment, hospitalization, and supportive care. You can help them below ❤️🩹

sometimes it really sucks to have something that needs doing, and the people to help make it happen are still fast asleep in Alaska

Just got an acceptance letter to start an MS program at the Warnell School of Forestry.

Hey so I have a really stupid idea.
Forestry Peeps who do Longleaf.
What if we had a site that would be good for LLP, and a large amount of extant oak.
*Hits Blunt*
then what if we hit that sucker, and left a low residual density of like 10-30 BA, and *underplanted it with LLP*

Also the thing about this is Louisiana’s last governor was a Dem. And yes he was a “pro-life” Dem but having him in office mattered. It was harm reduction and the state was better off for it. Now, they have a Dem running against a very unpopular Republican and… crickets.
Buddy of mine met Jamie Davis a few weeks back in New Orleans and was impressed, but his campaign hasn’t had the money for any TV ads (because National Dems don’t give a fuuuuuuuck about Louisiana).
🚨🚨🚨
Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race.
Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”
I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

city/state auditors should require an audit of these logs on a scheduled regular basis and filing criminal charges for abuses should be the norm
Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
