Sun, 13:30: RT @vincentdonofrio: I know I'm not alone in thinking that it would be SO NICE to have some peace and quiet for four years in the whitehou…
Sun, 13:30: RT @Stonekettle: Rub a booger on every Republican you come across.
Sun, 13:31: RT @Stonekettle: Take it from the Wall funding.
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: So following my retweet of the saguaros being cut down, it occurs to me that the extraordinary nature of the saguaro may not b…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: There’s a fairytale quality to the origin of this cactus. They sound more like how you make a unicorn or a cockatrice than a p…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: Well, the saguaro fruit must be eaten by a coyote or a cactus wren and deposited in the shade of an ironwood to nurse. No, rea…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: Mesquite or palo verde will also work, but the cactus requires a nurse tree. The seeds can be eaten by a coyote, but a dove or…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: In the event the proper animal ate them and pooped in the proper nurse tree, it will take a decade for the saguaro to grow mor…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: Between 50-100 years, the first arm appears. It will likely flower before this, in its thirties. The flowers must be pollinate…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: By this point, it will have outlived its nurse (and probably outcompeted it.) Those cactus with dozens of arms? OLD.

Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: The cactus is not considered an adult until it is over a hundred years old. It can live to be two hundred, with luck.
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: To get away from the cold facts for a minute...saguaros, if you live around them, are, uh...Not just plants. There’s stuff goi…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: I realize I romanticize plants all the time, so you can feel free to dismiss this as my usual bullshit, but saguaros are...yea…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: Giant redwoods are a little too obviously gods, any fool can see it, but saguaros are something else.
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: Anyway. It is worth noting that even if you dismiss my half-baked garden faith, saguaros are the pinnacle of a web of ecosyste…
Sun, 13:31: RT @UrsulaV: This is why they’re so ultimately fragile. They rely on the others to even exist. They are a group effort! But they do repay i…
Sun, 13:32: RT @UrsulaV: Woodpeckers dig holes, elf owls live in the holes, hawks nest on top, everybody eats the fruit.
Sun, 13:32: RT @UrsulaV: They are the nexus of the web. They’re special. Natives in the area have very respectful terms for them, though I do not know…
Sun, 13:32: RT @UrsulaV: That’s all.
Sun, 13:32: RT @UrsulaV: Well, no, one more thing. I joke sometimes that when I die, the primary witnesses for the defense will be all the turtles I he…

Sun, 13:32: RT @UrsulaV: And hey—we get down on humanity sometimes, we really do, and that border wall is an abomination, but the people of Arizona mad…
Sun, 13:32: RT @Stonekettle: Failure to understand sarcasm should be a federal offense.
Sun, 13:32: RT @Stonekettle: Oh, yeah, lotta diversity in that picture. Whole lotta diversity. They got Country AND Western.
Sun, 13:32: RT @Stonekettle: "The Sovereign"
Sun, 13:33: RT @Stonekettle: The problem was easily corrected. Trump fired all the intelligence officials.
Sun, 13:33: RT @DanPoyourow: When you have trump congratulating Bernie for his win in NV, you know we're in trouble.
Sun, 13:33: RT @nkjemisin: This is fucked up. When a WoC speaking against bigotry is called "disruptive," it's nearly always because bigots are attacki…
Sun, 13:34: RT @amymebberson: Boy, you’d think Toy Fair is nothing but Star Wars, Marvel and Funko Pops. How about sites also report on the crapton of…
Sun, 13:34: RT @MarkRuffalo: Centrist Democrat brothers and sisters, all we are saying is give Bernie (us) a chance. It’s time for another approach. We…
Sun, 13:34: RT @catvalente: I kind of think that Presidential candidates should have to give us a short list of who they would choose as VP before the…
