Cabbage White, Small White (Pieris rapae). Originally from Eurasia and North Africa, they've been introduced around the world. The caterpillars eat mostly plants in the mustard family, such as garden vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, kale, radish, and cauliflower, along with wild mustards.

A Piping Plover parent is hiding its tiny, fluffy chicks beneath its wings among the sand dunes. Their sandy coloring helps them blend into the beach. And if a predator gets too close, the parent may perform a broken-wing act to draw danger away from its young. I’ve witnessed this, it’s a cool adaptation. #birds #wildlife #ecology #nature #evolution

Blaming a struggling worker for buying coffee distracts from the real problem: an economic system that concentrates wealth at the top while leaving workers struggling to survive. When housing costs soar & wages stagnate, poverty isn’t simply a budgeting failure. Scolding people over small purchases shifts blame away from a system designed to protect wealth & power for the privileged while telling everyone else their struggles are their own fault. #poverty #workingclass #history

The Earth has endless desert sand, but it’s unsuitable for building—wind erosion makes desert grains too smooth & rounded to bind in concrete.

Tech Fact of the Day 💡
Long before the iPad, computer scientist Alan Kay predicted the modern tablet—back in 1968!
In 1972, he published his concept for the Dynabook: a two-pound device with a flat display and wireless networking. Because 1970s hardware wasn't ready, Kay built cardboard and plastic mockups weighted with lead just to test how it felt to carry.
Decades before touchscreens technology the blueprint was already set. #technology #history #science
