Noticed a couple #ants today on my walk that seemed to be... fighting was my first thought, but is almost certainly wrong. Communicating, I would guess, though it looks to me like one of those slap-fights in cartoons.

@futurebird probably knows what they're up to.

Wait, WA is working on a bike tax that could add around $350 to the price of an e-bike and absolutely destroy local bike shops bottom lines when selling e-bikes.

What the actual fuck are they smoking down in Olympia. What, the fuck?

The clover is really clovering! It never actually goes away altogether here, but it sure does make a showing in the spring. #PNW #MossMonday

A field of vivid clover covers the ground between moss covered trees.

The dense field of clover is interspersed with false carrot, perhaps yabea.

A few photos from today's walk at #DashPoint.

A walk through the woods, followed by a bunch of gardening work, has laid me low. 7 miles today according to my Fitbit. Am tired.

A few dozen ferns climb mossy trees near a firm in their proximate trunks.

Bunches of shelf fungi cling to the cut side of a log.

A charming little trillium plant says hi.

Ok gardeners of the #pnw, is your asparagus up yet? Mine isn't up yet and I'm worried it died over the winter.

I planted it last spring and it grew fine during the summer, if small and spindly, as one might expect for the first year.

The local chapter of the Service Employees International Union has put out a call to action to support detained workers like Lewelyn Dixon.

The SEIU Union demands that the University of Washington:

– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

https://act.seiu.org/a/%20uw-protectimmigrants

NBC News website screenshot of a headline and photo of Lewelyn Dixon.

"Family calls for release of woman legally in US for 50 years and now detainted by ICE"

Lewelyn has lived in the U.S. for 50 years. She’s a green card holder, a lab technician at UW Medicine, and a trusted pillar in her family. Now, she’s in ICE detention while trying to come home after visiting loved ones in the Philippines.

She’s part of our union family. And what’s happening to her could happen to any one of us.

We’re calling on UW to do better:
– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

✊🏽 Stand with Lewelyn. Stand with immigrant workers.

Beau got the abalone eyes in last night. He starts painting it soon.

Please support BC Indigenous artists https://www.beauwagner.ca/coast-salish-art/shop/

A close-up of a hand-carved wooden cedar mask, of Indigenous Coast Salish artistry. The mask has a smooth finish with visible wood grain. Its eyes are inlaid with iridescent abalone shell, and it features a wide, open mouth. The mask rests on a dark grayish-blue table.

Fife police picked up that prick that was terrorising the Ukrainian supermarket down there with a fake ICE vehicle. Wikipedia says Kukhar is a Ukrainian last name, so no telling if it's an interpersonal beef or some pro-Russian intimidation. Either way, I hope he gets what's coming to him.
