If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box. The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year. A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease. Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk." One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks. If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you. The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.

I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

I spent the last week digging through old articles and studies on racist policy like segregation, redlining, war on drugs etc. It’s SHOCKING how many “.gov” addresses and resources now end in “404 not found” They’ve deleted so much nobody realizes is gone.

Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

@lettersfromjuno @NebetEboni i've been thinking about this for such a long time!! thank you for speaking about it 💜

My hot take as an astrologer is I need the space to be more accepting of the possibility of being poor. More accepting of poor people. I don’t really care how limiting this sounds. Not everyone with a certain Venus sign in a certain house will marry into wealth. Not everyone-

@lettersfromjuno it’s just like the manifestation girlies. like we kinda have a major impending economic crisis on top of the one we’re in now. they act like being poor is a moral failure & not an intentionally designed system. very toxic positivity/spiritual bypassing.

Will become an entrepreneur and make over millions of dollars. We need to normalize talking about financial scarcity in astrology. Scarcity In general. Sorry not sorry. But some of yall are playing a dangerous game with the people you preach to

“Yall care too much about things that directly impact your day to day lives”

@its_silhauette @beyoncegarden yeah, they've been doing this for awhile unfortunately

@JamieClarkSF @R0SYLNS @dumbandfunn 2mg and 10mg are basically placebos

@R0SYLNS @dumbandfunn That's the effect of 2 mg of klonopin, 10 mg of Valium, and living in a heavily gentrified neighborhood.

nursing to white women is what being a cop is to white men
