A Veritable Aviary of Birds and Pollinators by The Paper Ark Are Small Enough to Perch on the Tip of a Finger via Colossal [Shared]

Nayan Shrimali and Venus Bird, of The Paper Ark, approach conservation and environmental activism on a tiny scale. The artists (previously) create miniature renditions of flora and fauna that harness the textured, buildable potentials of paper to showcase the beauty and singularity of threatened and endangered species.

The image features a small porcupine perched on a human fingertip. The porcupine is predominantly black with white-tipped quills, which are prominently displayed, creating a striking contrast. Its body is compact, with a rounded head and small, beady eyes. The quills are arranged in a fan-like pattern, radiating from the back and sides of the porcupine. The animal's face is turned slightly to the side, showcasing its small snout and the texture of its fur. The background is blurred, emphasizing the porcupine and the fingertip, which provides a sense of scale, highlighting the porcupine's diminutive size.

"Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home..."

A sea lion and her pup. Taken with a proper, physical distance.
It is an early morning just after sunrise north of Dunedin, in Otago, South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Thanks to Adele for lyrics describing the scene.

Photo shows two fur seals, a grown up mother and a small pup. The mother is looking searchingly and warningly towards the photographer. The pup is looking curious in the same general direction. The seals are in shades of brown fur from light to dark, with some black and white details for the mother, and mostly darker brown for the pup. They both have very visible whiskers. They are on a light grey sandy beach, with a small rock the size of the mummy seal in the background.

#MonarchButterflies Might Soon Be Listed as #Threatened Under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct

If a new proposal is adopted, the insects would become the most commonly seen species to be the subject of federal protection under this law

Gayoung Lee
December 11, 2024

"For generations, monarch butterflies have traveled thousands of miles across North America in remarkable, long-distance migrations. But like many other pollinators, human activity and climate change have cast a shadow over the future of these beloved insects.

"In response, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is taking a step toward protecting monarchs: The agency proposed listing monarch butterflies as threatened under the Endangered Species Act on Tuesday, which would extend federal protection to the species. The proposal will be subject to a 90-day public comment period before potentially taking effect."

Donald Trump is taking aim at business leaders, -- saying
👉 they should be
fired if they don’t support him.

In two long Truth Social posts on Tuesday quoting a Wall Street Journal article, Trump said
👉 “Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump!
💥Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!”💥

Lately, Trump has attempted to line up the CEO and executive crowd behind him,
but this is the first time he seems to have openly #threatened them.

Last week, he met with at least 80 CEOs, promising tax cuts and scaled-back business regulations if he’s elected president.

Accounts of that meeting did not have the convicted felon and former president coming off well, with Trump reportedly rambling all over the place on different topics.

“These were people who, I think, might have been actually predisposed to him,” said CNBC’s Ross Sorkin.
“And [they] actually walked out of the room less predisposed to him, actually predisposed to thinking
‘This is not necessarily—’ as one person said,
‘this may not be any different or better than a Biden thought, if you’re thinking that way.’”

#Gaetz & a handful of #FarRight #Republicans have repeatedly #threatened to go after McCarthy’s speakership if he relied on Dem votes to pass any #spending #legislation, which happened Sat after #McCarthy couldn’t get a majority of Republicans to support various proposals to fund the govt w/only #GOP votes. Using a motion to #vacate, a one person can force the #House to consider removing the speaker. McCarthy agreed to lowering the threshold for bringing the motion…to become speaker in Jan.
