An account by a biologist talking about the work he does on habitat restoration in Florida. Post any questions you have on one of my posts or feel free to message me questions! Ive been on imgur for years but decided to make an official account for my research. My habitat restoration company is Stocking Savvy and you can read more about my work here: www.stockingsavvy.com
So they have intentionally been investing in and turning Florida more red for years, the South needs support and solidarity not to be written off

The American Lamprey is actually a vegetarian and muck eating freshwater fish being replaced by the invasive dune themed sea lamprey in the great lakes!
There is a native American Lamprey which is a vegetarian and endangered! Look at that face couldn't be a dune creature if it wanted to.
A shallow water coral reef takes decades to grow. A deep sea ecosystem takes centuries per centimeter. We can not repair a deep sea ecosystem if we flatten it. That said picking up mineral nodes is fine, fracking is BAD.
I live in the USA and 16K as just a bonus is a third of what I make in a year... The USA is a distopia
Live loud, live proud, but carry a big stick.
The military will be extra weird if there's a civil war. Most officers are pretty loyal to civil rights/the country. Service members may start radical politically but become moderate over time. Honestly police tend to be the most extreme. I hope for peace, prepare for the worst
If voting fails and they try to come for any of my lgbtq, poor, immigrant, minority, etc friends or neighbors hoooo boy. I got a buncha woke rednecks with too much time and too many pickup trucks not to kick some nazi butt. General Sherman might need another ride through the south 😏
No worries what makes a good/smart person is the ability to recognize your mistakes and learn from then changing who you are. We're always learning and no one is perfect. In my opinion strong positive masculinity is a protecting and adventurous role with chivalry and sacrifice. Think Steve Irwin, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, or Uncle Iroh from Avatar as good role models.
The issues others face do not invalidate your own issues. There are issues that affect men more than women. That does not mean women do not face discrimination nor should we fight it and this was a well written way to help point out these issues.
I teach a lot of artists and know this. Many take breaks and never come back. Some come back and never hit their previous heights. Others come back and find that whole new level completely changing the landscape and ramping into new styles, genres, or stories. But nearly everyone is glad they took the break and experienced new wonders. Good luck!
Positive male role models I like to tout are Steve Irwin, Neil De Grasse, and Danny Devito. Also anyone who dares say you can't do masculinity positively needs to hear the Terri Irwin interviews about Steve she was so supportive of him.
I run a small business and have solid wages for the industry, decent benefits, and will hire anyone for an entry level $15 an hour position planting and removing swamp muck. I have like a 48 person wait list with some people leaving $25 an hour jobs to work for me because we actually care and work to build up people. Also no we're not a family just a bunch of baddies.
Helping to start the "De-Woke" of schools starting with New College of Florida. Please look up savenewcollege.org and support them!
I have had several friends be denied provisional ballots in Sarasota Florida by pollworkers. They're even blocking that.
I was the monster who put on holiday soundtracks. Skipping merrily into the store, employees begging for a delay to the pain, only for me to smile and say "sorry it's company policy. Speakers would blare into unlife as 'Spooky Scary Skeletons Remix' would blast the storefront. It was a Spirit of Halloween and I the eldritch counterbalance to Mariah Carey. Until next year when our unholy dance begins again.
They are not saying what is true, but what needs to be true for them to win. Reality regardless the MAGA crowd is going to try to win. They will fight, lie, steal, and kill for their perfect president and the country they want. The big question is, will the rest of America stop them?
Really depends because our average wage is top 10% but our median wage is actually below average. We have so many billionaires our average is higher than the world average. Equalize every single person on earth and the average American would still be richer.
Hoot hoot
ACAB is "assigned cop at birth" they can't help it they were born to be assholes
Totally get what yall are saying and 100% support it. There are many people who support it of all classes but man i think of the coal strikes in the USA as a big example of solidarity (and sometimes how racism undermines it)
Thank yall we appreciate it, one way to help is savenewcollege.org and the brave students fighting back!
Floridian here, look up New College of Florida and how they're hurting students and kids. Sarasota is under attack and we need help! Savenewcollege.org if you want to help
Please in addition to voting support local mutual aid and also have people run for every seat! Gerrymandering and putting people into empty seats has devastated much of Florida. Newtown in Sarasota went 6 years without voting due to repeat gerrymandering and redrawing district lines!
Florida has over 800 species of animals unique to the state. As a biologist working here the problem can be fixed by developing like Singapore. Please support Floridians doing what's right, don't write us off yet!
Racism is stupid, classism is the real struggle. Billionaires support racist far right groups to avoid people paying attention to the taxes they're dodging and people they're crushing. Workers of all races unite!
Floridian here, most of us are good don't write us off. We're being taken over by billionaires funding racists and nazis who gerrymander our elections. Our fight is the American fight. Fight racism locally and when out support Floridians doing the same!
Support local farmers markets, plant native and edible plants instead of lawns, rooftop gardens, floating islands etc. How to fund you ask? Billionaire pinatas.
Also since WW2 when has the USA 100% been the good guy? Even after 9/11 we invaded what 4 countries with Iran offering to give us the terrorists and we refused. Younger generations stay away from the military because we no longer believe America is spreading freedom. We're spreading American business interests.
