Manatees are called sea cows because they are herbivores and graze sea grass as their primary food source. They also eat mangrove leaves, algae, and earth-grown grasses. #savethemanatees

Notus is the Greek god of the warm south wind that brings summer and the nourishing rains. "And out on soaking wings Notus flew...his beard was sodden with rain, his white hair drenched, mists wreathed his brow and streaming water fell from his wings" -Ovid #FairyTaleTuesday

Nonoma'e is a Cheyenne god of Summer and is often depicted as a thunderbird who protects people from monstrous water creatures like the horned water serpents known as mehneo'o #FairyTaleTuesday

The fenghuang is an immortal Chinese bird, one of the four cosmic creators, who oversees the sun and summertime. This glorious being is called "the emperor of birds." Seeing one is more than a check on a birding list, only appearing to herald great peace #FairyTaleTuesday

@drkristinlyerly Oh, another one: Tell us about a book you read that had a really significant impact on who you are. (PS I've always wanted governor candidates to have to talk about Sand County Almanac and what it means for us today-- but that's too off the mainstream!)

Weekend plans: hanging with every Democratic Wisconsin governor candidate. Your move — ask me anything you want me to put to them. Best questions become reels. Go. 👇

@drkristinlyerly What can Wisconsin do to continue carrying out the promise of Earth Day when the federal government is rolling back so many protections?

@derrickvanorden Oh wow, there was a deal to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. I remember it. Historic! A major step forward to global peace. But President Trump disagreed and withdrew from the deal. The only reason now to worry about Iran getting nukes is because he broke the deal

. You are damn right, Becky. Both Gas and Groceries are coming down, and the border is secure. When you use the temporary increase in gas prices, that are still less than under Biden, for political hay, it is disgraceful. The radical Islamic mullahs running Iran are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, including several of my friends. To think you want them to have a nuclear weapon is 100% disqualifying for office.

@derrickvanorden Anyone who drinks coffee knows prices are up Anyone who is grilling hamburgers this summer knows prices are up

@derrickvanorden 👀👀👀👀👀

@derrickvanorden 👀👀👀👀 anyone who goes to the store can see prices are up

Sending the warmest regards and heartfelt appreciation to @AyodeleMurewa for bringing so much excellence to the world. What he does with Storm is simply amazing. He takes our Windrider to heights of excellence. This is a golden age for Ororo 👍♥️👍♥️

@GarciaReports So awful. Three people have died there because it's run so badly. It's hard to keep track of all the awful things going on, so thanks for keeping us informed

Nation's largest ICE detention facility 'wasted' millions after rushed opening, federal report says abcnews.com/US/nations-lar…

@FairyTale_Tues Thank you! Happy belated Tuesday to you also ✨

@versaillesboy I forgot they were twins. Interesting! Happy Tuesday to you, Don 💜

Apollo and Artemis are the twin children of Zeus and the goddess Leto. Both are legendary archers. Apollo radiates and shines like the sun, while his sister Artemis presides over nighttime and the cycles of the moon. #FairyTaleTuesday

While a smug Secretary Brooke Rollins had her props to show Senator Warnock how much better off our grocery bills now, @SymoneDSanders @AliciaMenendez I see every day how pricey food is. I'm stretching that paycheck like so many others do today

The seven beautiful daughters of the Titan Atlas were desired by Orion the hunter. They didn't reciprocate his love, so to protect them, Zeus transformed them into stars where they are forever safe as the constellation the Pleiades. #FairyTaleTuesday

In tribal folklore, the Pleiades are known as the Seven Sisters, immortal women who descended to Earth in a basket. In the Nez Perce culture of Idaho one of the sisters fell in love with a mortal man and she hides in grief after his death 🎨Jackie Traverse #FairyTaleTuesday

Hera, the goddess of marriage, after rejecting many proposals from her brother Zeus, finally relented. The two enjoyed a glorious destination wedding at the Garden of the Hesperedes, where Hera received from her grandmother a tree that bears golden apples #FairyTaleTuesday

"And the mighty Hercules...made Hebe the child of great Zeus and gold-shod Hera his shy wife on snowy Mount Olympus. Happy he! For he has finished his great works and lives amongst the undying gods, untroubled and unaging all his days" -Hesiod #FairyTaleTuesday

I'm so grateful @AliciaMenendez talked with @Arosaflores about the controversy at Delaney Hall in New Jersey tonight. Immigration policy always seems too complicated to me, so I was surprised to learn there are more humane alternatives to detention. Thanks for discussing this

@UFWupdates Thank you, Elia. Picking all those strawberries must be hard on your back, since you're likely bent over all day long. We appreciate all you do

"Elia" says, "The strawberry harvest has slowed down significantly here in Oxnard. At the end of this month, I will head to Salinas where I will also harvest strawberries. The company I work at hasn't given us a raise in two years." #WeFeedYou
