Wild Horses and Burros Improve Water Sources on Arid Land

Wild horses and burros in the American West are erroneously blamed for range damage done by rancher-exploited cattle and sheep, and brutally captured by government agencies. Most either spend the rest of their lives incarcerated or are sold to slaughter. The truth is that wild horses and burros improve their rangeland by depositing whole grass seeds in their manure and by digging water source wells utilized by other wild animals.

The outlook today.

No więc, w ramach przygotowań prezentacji do prelekcji podczas KLIN Festiwal Komiksu i Ilustracji rozszerzam część tematów, które pojawiały się na peju w ramach serii wpisów o polityce w komiksie.

Teraz dłubię nad historią z trzeciego numeru "Action Comics" z 1938 roku, w którym Superman dał nauczkę właścicielowi kopalni, który nie zapewniał górnikom bezpiecznych warunków pracy, słabo im płacił i mówił, że jeśli im się nie podoba, mogą odejść. A zrobił to ściągając tegoż właściciela i jego znajomych bogaczy do kopalni i powodując zawalenie szybu, by ci musieli walczyć o własne życie w kopalni pozbawionej funkcjonujących zabezpieczeń.

I napiszę Wam, że manifestacja klasowego wkurwu wchodzi tam na taki poziom, że gdyby dzisiaj przeczytały to osoby uważające takie określenia jak "libek" czy "umowa śmieciowa" za mowę nienawiści, to mogłyby paść na zawał.

Tysiąc. Dziewięćset. Trzydziesty. Dziewiąty. Rok.

Got sent a photo of the first walk I took with Eamonn after I brought him home from the rescue supposedly full grown...

Thought the dog was hurt and bleeding all over the patio, but he just managed to step on some of my cochineal cactus bugs and was smearing it all over the patio. Looked exactly like bloodstains. #FalseAlarm #mashedbugs

"We never saw any of this ADHD or autism stuff when I was young!"

You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time

As a researcher investigating #language and #genetics, this cartoon really speaks to me.

#Mexico #eCommerce #Amazon: "So the e-commerce companies started developing their own courier services. Still, these new logistics providers don’t quite have the range to reach every address in Mexico.

Enter the humble corner shop. They’re found in the smallest, most remote communities and are deemed trustworthy by locals. Plus, they’re places that already receive shipments or mail, so they’re easy to find on delivery routes. This latter point was important across sprawling suburbs and rural or remote areas, where addresses tend to be inaccurate or outright missing from satellite navigation maps. E-commerce companies reached out to these shops, inviting them to become pickup and delivery points.

Shoppers can register these corner stores as P.O. boxes when making online purchases. And instead of going to an official DHL or UPS office, which may be in a different city altogether, they can use local shops to drop off an item they might want to return."

Flashback a year to the luckiest photo I ever took. For five years I had been using a Sony super zoom camera and then someone graciously gifted me w the Nikon 200-500. I put it on a D500 body and got this tiger swallowtail on my first day. No cropping—this was the composition straight out of the camera. It was meant to be!

I like my appearance from the front but hate it from any other angle. If you ever meet me in person, I'ma gonna keep facing you like one of the sprite-based monsters from a 1990s first-person shooter

Why is no one doing something to stop this toddler?

Plentiful nature candy.
