The vulnerable Blue Kite Swallowtail needs your help
In November, 2020,I wrote a post about the Blue Kite Swallowtail, an exquisite butterfly that is becoming increasingly scarce. It is currently listed as Vulnerable. Scientists are currently reevaluating its status as the reduced numbers observed in recent years would seem to suggest that this assessment may no longer be accurate.
Please keep an eye out for these beautiful creatures, and if you do see them, make a note of the numbers you see, the date and time, nearest community, parish, and if possible GPS location. Please send this information to entomologist Vaughan Turland, at v.turland@gmail.com. I am recapping below his description of this fragile creature – please, look out for those “blue flashes of light.”
In the 1960’s the Blue Kite swallowtail, Protographium marcellinus, would swarm, dashing like blue flashes of light, through the streets of Kingston after its annual emergence. This sight though is sadly…

Peace – normabobb
Peace should be seen as a doing word. We have to be an evangelist for peace. Where there is peace, war, homelessness, hunger, hate, greed, and all other disparities cease to exist. We are all holistically joined together whether we want to believe it or not. Peace exists, we just have to acknowledge it and live it.

Virginia: Spotsylvania Will Remove 14 Books from Its School Libraries
Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin sends his own children to an elite private school that never bans books and teaches critical race theory, But the governor ran on a platform of “parental rights,” which has unleashed censorship and book banning in the state’s public schools.
The schools of Spotsylvania have posted a list of 14 books that will be withdrawn to protect children from ideas their parents don’t like. Among the 14 are two by Nobel-prize winning author Toni Morrison.
The books were challenged for having “sexually explicit material” in them, according to a message to families from superintendent Mark Taylor.
The superintendent of Spotsylvania public schools has no prior experience in education. His appointment was made after hard-right conservatives won control of the school board. Aside from his lack of experience, Mark Taylor was controversial because of incendiary comments he made on social media. “They allegedly include…

I am radicalizing against guns — The Weekly Sift

Anger is replacing sadness and hope. Gun worship is American society’s greatest sickness. Guns don’t preserve freedom, they threaten it. And if the Second Amendment won’t allow action, it has to go. Last Monday, three students and three staff members of the Covenant School in Nashville were killed by a shooter. As you all know, […]
