Can be a mixed blessing. Do you want government coming onto your land, plaguing you with regulations, like the ranchers our government has tried to shut down over cow flu or carbon footprint or some such ridiculousness? Omygawd it's the bee boos! Step aside while we fog your whole estate with toxic pesticide that will linger for weeks and be windblown onto your neighbors. And don't think about having a couple of pigs and some chickens around. Once seen, government will have a microscope up your butt.

[td] Fact of the Day​ ​

Red foxes have a vocal range that spans five octaves.

By Michael Nordine

There may not be any red fox pop stars (yet), but maybe there should be. In addition to being the most widespread carnivore in the world, they also have a vocal range that spans five octaves and can produce around 40 different vocalizations. Without training, the average human has a vocal range of one-and-a-half to two octaves; Mariah Carey, meanwhile, has a five-octave range — making her an extraordinarily gifted (human) singer. Should you ever find yourself startled by an unidentified sound in the forest, you’ll be both surprised and comforted to learn it was likely made by a red fox: surprised at the impressive range of their vocalizations and comforted because it isn’t coming from a larger, more frightening animal.

The smallest flower in the world is the size of a candy sprinkle.​

The world’s smallest flower is commonly found throughout North America (and the globe), but its bloom is so small, you may never catch a glimpse. It measures around 1/42 of an inch long and 1/85 of an inch wide — or about the size of a candy sprinkle. But it’s not just its minuscule size that makes this flower distinctive.

[td] Fact of the Day​ ​

Some sea turtles have spikes in their mouths and throats.

By Michael Nordine

We tend to think of sea turtles as calm, docile creatures that represent the vast serenity of the sea — but then, most of us have never seen the inside of their mouths. Many sea turtles have sharp spikes known as esophageal papillae in their throat, which help them with one of their favorite activities: eating jellyfish. Those backward-facing spikes aren’t teeth, however; they’re made of keratin and essentially act as a filter that guides jellyfish into their stomach and prevents them from stinging the turtle’s throat along the way. Sea turtles tend to ingest a lot of seawater when feeding, which they essentially vomit back up once they’re done, and the papillae ensures their food isn’t expelled along with it.

Foreign visitors are surprised by these common 12 American dining habits Discover Dining in the U.S. comes with its own set of unwritten rules.

From how meals are served to how bills are paid, there are many differences that we only notice when we visit other countries. Take a look at 12 of these habits you probably take for granted, but that are uncommon outside of the U.S. Read full article

Dear Friend,

Words can quietly reveal the worldview that created them.

Antibiotic is one of them. Anti. Against. Bios. Life.

For generations, we have become extraordinarily skilled at identifying what we do not want and removing it: the unwanted bacterium or the weed in the field.

But if we can move away from seeing what is to be removed to what is to be restored, our understanding of life itself changes.

This is the threshold I call the Biological Renaissance. Not a rejection of everything that came before us, but a widening of the aperture.

From attacking what appears broken toward understanding the relationships that allow life to organize, communicate, adapt, and regenerate.

And that shift means very little if it remains an idea.

This is having a moment. Again. ​

I've been noticing something online lately, and it's not new. It's having a moment. Again.



Fermented foods are everywhere right now. Kimchi on grain bowls. Quick-pickled onions on everything. Kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, all suddenly trending like they've just been discovered.



Here's the thing: we've been talking about this for years. Long before it was trending, long before it had a hashtag. Because fermented foods aren't a trend at all. They're one of the oldest food technologies humans have ever used, and every few years, the internet rediscovers what we've known all along.



Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that influence everything from digestion and immunity to mood and inflammation. Fermented foods introduce live, beneficial bacteria that help keep that whole ecosystem in balance, something a lot of us have lost through decades of processed food, antibiotics, and diets that starve out the good bacteria along with the bad.



The good news is you don't need to overhaul everything overnight. A spoonful of sauerkraut with dinner. A small glass of kefir in the morning. Kimchi folded into a grain bowl. Small, consistent additions do more than any single big gesture ever could.



We've put together a quick breakdown of exactly what to eat, and what to avoid, if you're serious about supporting your gut health. It's one of those pieces worth bookmarking, trend or no trend.

In good health,
