There’s a new litter of coyote pups hanging out in the Graceland cemetery in Chicago. They are learning how to coyote.

Sound on!

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

The Trump administration is trying to strip public lands from the American people and hand them over to corporations and billionaires.

Under the guise of "reorganization," they're dismantling the U.S. Forest Service, relocating its headquarters, shutting down regional offices, and gutting the science our forests depend on.

This isn't efficiency. It's sabotage.

By making it harder for the agency to function, they're clearing the path to sell off lands that belong to all of us. We've seen this playbook before. We won't let it stand. We're organizing grassroots supporters, pressuring lawmakers, and sounding the alarm, but we need your help. Give now to protect our forests.

Yall I don't think i ever told you about when I found a cattle mutilation outside of Durango CO.

Pics under the cut tw gore and animal death

This must have been 2011. I moved out to Durango on a whim to be with a very sweet ex airforce violinist. He took me to a beautiful area owned by the military that was mostly open fields. I think they dud helicopter training out there bc it's flat or something. This is what we found.

There were no flies or vultures, even at noon on a sunny summer day. I dismissed it as a mountain lion or pack of coyotes, but after researching and looking at kills from all sorts or north American predators, nothing looks like this.

Tw: description; the front legs are yanked up and back over the head. Only the abdominal cavity and eyes are missing. Grass blown out all around it in a pattern that my so confirmed looked like an aircraft. The weirdest bit was the tentacle-like... thing... protruding from under one leg.

I'm not a believer, so this is just one memory that I've never been able to figure out.
