Water is life in the Mojave Trails National Monument! 💙 And we (me and the plants and animals and tribes) think it should stay there. ➡️ link in thread to the tribal opposition op-ed & @protectparks.bsky.social page to get involved! #waterislife #mojavedesert #protectpubliclands

Hugs, babe 🌈💚➡️ @gilbert_baker_foundation to learn about the original Pride Flag and the foundational principles of inclusivity it represents, for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community, AND BEYOND! #pridemonth #prideflag #rainbowflag #lgbtq #gaypride

Happy Pride Month besties! 🌈💚 💖 4 upcoming Queer Ecology Walks, link in thread. 🤩 including a collab hike with @nataliareagan.bsky.social! My Pride hike THIS Friday 6/5 is almost sold out, so jump on it friends! 👯 #pridemonth #queerecology #lgbtq #gaypride #natureisqueer

What Han Solo said 💚✊ 30x30 is the goal to protect 30% of land and water for the public by 2030, and despite federal attempts to undermine public land, California is at 26%! #hansolo #conservation #30x30 #california #sacramento

Everyone please vote in our election! 🤗 Waste your time and money and get yourself convicted of a felony, that in many red states means you can’t ever vote again. 💞 Sounds like an amazing plan besties! 🙃 #vote #losangeles #spencerpratt #freeDUMB

RIP crow friend. 🪻🌼🌷🌸🌻🌹🌾 #crow #corvid #funeral #environmentaleducation #natureisnotmetal

Be serious people, because Hilton & Bianco are not serious candidates. You can’t disagree with a vast majority of Californians on an issue like our iconic coastline, and have a chance in hell of becoming governor. And this is why I’m going to vote for Steyer. 1/3

Are you an “environmentalist”? Hint: YOU ARE. 🤗💚 And that’s a beautiful thing! Whether you call yourself a “conservationist” or just are concerned about pollution, that makes YOU an environmentalist. #environmentalist #conservation #mothernature

Is AI worth all this? Suggestion: stop using AI 🤦🏻‍♂️ Posting this on the tool of the oppressor to fight for the oppressed, who are humans and every other living thing that just want to live in… peace. #ai #noisepollution #datacenter #brainrot

I can’t believe it even needs to be said. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I still haven’t decided who I’m voting for in the LA mayor race, but I know for a 100% fact it’s not spencer pratt. #losangeles #vote

We *need* a California where both human AND non-humans can afford to live. And the next governor will be critical in that balance. Next week I’m posting about the CA governor candidate conservation platforms. You might be surprised by some of them! Stay tuned… #california #conservation #vote

It’s not just about conservation 💚 1/3 “In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we understand only what we are taught.” ~Baba Dioum #environmentaleducation #conservation #motherearth #lifelessons

Let’s get you to bed 🙀🐻🐊🐿️ since he brought them all up, here’s the harm he’s causing to lions, bears, alligators, squirrels, and honestly every living thing (humans included) on the planet. #conservation #endangeredspecies #wildlife #earthdayeveryday aa

Event link in bio 🌟🐛 And rsvp asap, because I’m only doing 6 hikes this year and one is already sold out. The California pink glowworm is a rare firefly you’ll find on the west coast, only glowing this time of year. Let’s go find them! #griffithpark #losangeles #environmentaleducation

The wildlife crossing is only “controversial” if you squint your eyes and rotate your head 360° to the right. Try again manosphere/Murdoch cabal… or better yet, stop trying. #saveLAcougars #losangeles #environmentaleducation #wildlife #mountainlion

Native plant bird feeder ftw! 🐤🤍 goldfinch on white sage My favorite thing about getting rid of (most of) my lawn and planting locally native California plants is watching the landscape come alive! I don’t regret the transformation in the slightest. #nativeplants #birding #whitesage #goldfinch

The gays go against nature? Babe… 🌈💚 H/t @yourpal_austin for the op/clap back. It’s been a while since I’ve made a queer ecology video, but pride month is coming up quick so… it’s time. 💁🏻‍♂️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏽 #queerecology #environmentaleducation #gay #lgbtq #natural

Journey to Chuckwalla National Monument! 🦎 to find out what we’re fighting for, and honestly…why. Every park I’ve been to has a unique and beautiful story to tell, lesson to learn, and diversity of life, that is always worth it! 💚 #chuckwalla #publiclands #publiclandsinpublichands #nationalmonument

Ditching *most* of my lawn for ecological native plant abundance was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! 🌼 Check me out on the @secondnatureearth podcast by @commonsearth to hear my story. Out NOW for #EarthMonth 🌈 #killyourlawn #nativeplants #wildflowers #superbloom

They’re trying to dismantle the US Forest Service… It’s big, ugly, unpopular, a fire risk, and completely illegal. I’m starting to lose count of how many brazen attacks in our public lands they’ve attempted. #nationalforest #publiclands #angelesnationalforest #publiclandsinpublichands #VOTE

ATTN SOCAL: call Young Kim (949)268-6706 @repyoungkim and kindly ask/DEMAND she prioritize public lands, because she could help save the world (and also like save her seat in Congress). #publiclands #publiclandsinpublichands #grandstaircaseescalante #sangabrielmountains #angelesnationalforest

The value of “celebrity advocacy”: it’s not like people believe something just because a musician or actor says so, but it *does* inspire people to learn more. So thanks conservatives! Love you mean it! 💖😅 #billieilish #badbunny #landback #education

An icebreaker question I was asked *months* ago that is still rattling around in my mind. 🌈💚🕊️ What’s your nature super power and WHY? 🕊️ #nature #redtailedhawk #soar #deepthoughts

The useless border wall divides people AND wildlife. 💔 A border we just made up, with no consideration for the cultural ecosystems that exist continuously throughout both sides. @skyislandalliance.org #borderwall #iceout #wildlife #arizona #coronadonationalforest

Can you believe they used to dump a bonfire off a cliff into Yosemite Valley every night? 😵🔥 It honestly seems cool to see it, because what a bizarrely unnerving experience it must have been. BUT luckily we have our own much better, all-natural fire fall now 🌅 #yosemite #firefall #nationalparks

In 2025 we showed the strength of the outdoor community ✊💚 In 2026 we will need to flex even harder ❤️‍🔥💪🏻 #yosemite #publiclandsinpublichands

I as this subtle enough? #iceout

Park Rangers as 🧊 agents? 😳 The t*rump admin is already requiring Rangers to check papers at 11 national parks. Stand up for public lands and stand up for our AMAZING Park Rangers! 💚 Or actually… tell your Congressmember and Senators to DO THEIR JOB! ✊ #publiclandsinpublichands #parksforALL

Giving a damn about people AND nature go hand-in-hand 🤝💚✊ and the trump administration is clearly missing a few limbs. 😤 When I heard this interview with Alex Pretti’s parents I couldn’t help but connect the dots. #conservation #empathy #alexpretti #iceout

t’rumps fav logical fallacy: cherry picking. 🍒 he does it to explain away climate change any time it gets cold, and he does it to call every immigrant a criminal, even though statistically they commit fewer crimes. #climatechangeisreal #winterstorm

I love you California 🐻💙

Someone get this guy a map. Gonna keep making these… until he or anyone in his staff decides to learn how California water works. Or how fire works. Or how building permits work. Or how home construction works. Or how common human decency works. #lafires #california #trump #waterislife

He’s at it again, using the LA Fires as an excuse to mess with California, and this time potential harm LA’s water supply! So figured it was time for another water lesson. #lafires #california #water #trump #resist

To look into their eye in one moment, and then watch one be unallied in the next… just for the sport of it? The more I think about it the more it disgusts me. AND FYI… it is illegal to spearfish octopus in California. #tidepools #octopus

King tides & climate change giving me thoughts. Inspo thanks to @rosanna.xia for her amazing book on this topic… and @goldenstatenaturalist for her podcast episode featuring Rosanna that I definitely listened to on my way to the tide pools. #kingtide #tidepools #losnageles #climatechangeisreal

Mistakes are one of the best ways to learn! 💖 I went back and rewatched a lot of my advocacy and education videos and here are 3 big “mistakes”. I made a list of all of them to keep them in mind. Because learning from mistakes it’s a sign of strength, not weakness. #newyears #reflect #educator

Next LA River Walk: Jan/7 *LA Fires 1 year later… we have some lessons to unpack for real… ❤️‍🩹 link in bio What happens to the plants and birds at the LA RIVER during/after a big storm? @monstrgurl asked and I’m an educator so I love a great question! 👨🏻‍🏫💙 #lariver #losangeles #california

Just to have a visual of the shear scale of the flow of oil PER SECOND that we are pumping out of our planet to burn into the atmosphere is mind boggling… sad… and IMPORTANT. #lariver #climatechangeisreal
