Depends on where you live, but plants native to your ecosystem will be hardy . Yes on the marigolds for natural pest control. Fresh berries are awesome, so good to get started now. Beans and peas are so easy if they can climb, as are tomatoes, basil and peppers if you have full sun. Potatoes and garlic are fun to…

I’m in the PNW and registered Green Party, so will likely vote for Jill Stein. Again. However, am seriously thinking about changing to dem for a minute to vote in the primary next month. Hillary and Bernie both cover the things I care most about ( environment, campaign finance reform and healthcare), but I think…

Animals Do have human characteristics because Humans Are Animals. Anthropomorphism as a pejorative is a false assertion that I reject. There is nothing but anecdotal evidence to support it as a truth or fact. The term is a thing of arrogant man (the same mindset that debated whether women have souls), not actual…

This begs the question: why are they intimidated by the human face? Those masks are pretty startling, but a normal face?

I’m sure your opinion is the most popular ;)

Your cat friend is lovely! She knows you are not going to make her eat those crumbs. Thumbs up on the string o’ lights in the well-organized tent.

By the time humans start dying off, most animals will be long gone. I don’t doubt it can happen, but hundreds of species going extinct because of the actions of one dominant species is not natural. We can change this by deciding what our priorities are and being loud and proud when we act and speak for the natural…

What is an activity budget? Enrichment funds?

How do you think we can establish and fund enough sanctuaries to meet the needs of animals currently held in zoos? And keep up with the numbers of non-humans being displaced or injured because of human activity? No snark, serious question.

Fuck deforestation, greed, exploitation, poaching, hunting and basically everything humans are doing to contribute to the mass extinction of species happening Now. Some creatures have no remaining habitat in which they can be free to thrive. A lifetime of captivity is far from ideal, but Zoos are not the only problem.

Pickathon! Similar to Coachella of old, but in the woods and largely unplugged.

We should all conduct ourselves as if President Obama was watching and listening to us. I would want to make him proud.

Nailed It!

Spencer Pratt’s thirsty is loud and sad, Axl did NOT do said shit, and Audra McDonald is right the fuck on. Gabby, per usual, is perfection.

Oversharing at work knows no age limit or minimum, and one of the most attractive aspects of working solo. I enjoyed your well-crafted and thoughtful article, but am too tired to formulate any worthy comments. Shine on.

Historically, change has begun in increments. Not in one fell swoop. Defeatist attitude guarantees going nowhere.

This is not real. It can’t be real. It is not America. It is Not earth. Cannot be happening. No.

STUPID PUBLIC. It should remain business as usual at the weather service. Quit appeasing the public, makes us weak. Let’s continue with OFFICIAL BUSINESS unfettered, including that government font. It’s the only that can be trusted. The caps let you know IT IS SERIOUS. Thumbs down on the change. PEACE OUT.

Steal Aunt must make reparations to you, deerlady.

Bless your heart.
