I live in an area that was part of the sagebrush rebellion, I work in places that Claude Dallas did his thing, and it is very conservative here. I am also a federal land management employee. There is no push for this here. I notice my state isn't named in the article, mostly higher population states, but I think that this movement will have difficulty getting traction with most right wing land users due to concerns about what it will cost them. Ranchers get a pretty good deal on public land, and it may be telling that mining and timber groups are no longer involved.
At any rate, this "coalition" is definitely something to keep watching. I used to live in New Mexico and there was, at that time, a ranching propaganda publication that really stoked fears about things that just didn't exist. People are driven to decide on fear and we have to provide an answer to that.
Wait, so significant portions of the US population will need identification beyond a state-issued ID? If so I feel like this hasn't been in the news or I've really missed a big headline.
The different things she did while sleep walking were pretty incredible: navigating steps, getting supplies, having conversations. As a younger child, I thought these things were hilarious and enjoyed them as sibling conversational material. Not really in a mean way, we just poked fun at each other. I rolled out of bed a lot. I am sure she had material from me 😆
The MSPB dismissals got me since the MAGA folks seem so obsessed with anything that they deem to be not based on merit. Obviously they lie, and this is great evidence of that.
Where I live, we are still in the winter/spring cycle, so we have a mud season. That is mainly what this is referencing. But to your point, we have been very fortunate with our winter precipitation and our positioned to be better off than much of the western US. I hope you get some moisture and don't have a repeat of what I saw in Portugal ❤️
That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!
Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.
I feel like this could be equally at home as an instructional example for dealing with challenging situations. It definitely doesn't hit the same as the cats commenting about licking buttholes.
I think @merde@sh.itjust.works and @CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world have the right direction with theDermestidae family of beetles. Looking at some pictures of the adult stage, I have seen those occasionally, and tried to use the Seek app to get an answer on them. These beetle looks pretty close to the larder beetle. Their life cycle seems to fit what I am seeing with the timeline.
I have some better photos but do not know how to add more. It is almost certainly this family. Maybe this one is a random visitor; it is on the wall where I park my bike.
I really like inaturalist (seek) but it failed me.
