#NonNative
Most Thursday mornings, hardy volunteers at the Morrell Nature Sanctuary pull, cut, or hack down (depending on the species) the nonnative plants that threaten this incredible ecosystem.

So that’s two pawpaws, a paper birch, two haksap bushes, couple lowbush blueberries, & a persimmon added this year, & another 20-30 invasive honeysuckles/autumn olives OUT, plus taking out a couple nonnative Siberian elms so that I hear less complaints about All The Trees I Have To Mow Around Now 😁

Good evening. We came across our first nonnative 🌱 Korean Clover/Lespedeza mdc.mo.gov/discover-nat... in the yard. It's all over the lake area, farm country. It was introduced to the US by USDA in 1919, later promoted for soil conservation and forage. By the 1940s, it was widely used by MO farmers.

Yep. And "our co-ethnics are suffering, we must help them" is a real way Americans of many groups perform identity and engage with the world. It's pretty much always untethered from the experience of those co-ethnics abroad, with a lot of talking over those poor non- or nonnative Anglophones.

Don't plant nonnative bamboos anywhere.

This is the first dependency I’ve ever done with nonnative white parents and they’re returning a child home to a completely disgustingly unsafe CSA situation and telling the 5yo’s attorney that “if you don’t stop impeding our progress in return home we’ll just return her home sooner.”

“There’s evidence that they’re biased against nonnative English speakers, such as myself,” Schnell wrote.

His command of written English has gotten worse since 2022. Sure thing. Righto.

🫡Conservation biologists #frogs

“The species’ collapse is tied to a compounding list of threats: wildfire, mudslides, pesticides, fungal disease, habitat loss and the appetites of nonnative trout, bullfrogs and crayfish…biologists consider the species among the rarest vertebrates on Earth.”

It’s pretty annoying that he uses being a nonnative English speaker as an excuse.

Severe impacts of biological invasions on the welfare of native & nonnative animals are an ongoing global phenomenon that has been understudied. #bioinvasions #invasivespecies theconversation.com/biological-i...
Biological invasions can cause severe animal suffering
Biological invasions can severely harm the welfare of animals, causing them to suffer. AWICIS is a new framework that can be used to assess the severity of these impacts.

Is Removing All Nonnative Plants Always the Answer?
Not all of them, I´d say, here in Germany ambrosia is invasive, many people, including me, are allergic against their pollens, so it has to be removed. Those pollens´re just active here.

Some species we label as invasive still serve a purpose by providing food or shelter to native species.

Good afternoon. Ditch pretty at the lake. I think this is a nonnative 🌱 Bull Thistle mdc.mo.gov/discover-nat... but not sure.

Two years ago today 🌿

Phytolacca americana, the nonnative American Pokeweed, fruiting in City Park Denver. Never thought I'd see this plant naturalized here.

Exactly this.

Yesterday someone posted Pangram score as "proof" of that someone used of AI to write article. They don't get the irony of trusting this type of program unconditionally.

These tools are biased against 'nonnative' speakers and have most often been weaponized against Black writers.
