Do you welcome ALL kinds of animals to your garden? Don't think of them as "pests", but neighbors? Believe in sharing the Earth with the animals who were here first? Then this flag belongs in your garden.

People my age are at rooftop bars meanwhile I’m standing next to a fountain like an old wizard recharging my mana 😂

This week on : the common North American Raccoon.

The black fur around a raccoon’s eyes isn’t just for looks. It actually helps reduce glare and improve nighttime vision, kind of like natural eye black used by athletes.

Raccoons are also surprisingly intelligent. Studies have shown they can remember solutions to tasks for years and are known for their problem-solving skills and curiosity. Tiny masked chaos goblins.

Incredibly important information if you buy “pollinator friendly” plants from big box stores!

You went to the garden center. You bought flowers to
help the bees. The tag said "Pollinator Friendly!"

You planted them. A bee visited.

The bee died.

Most plants sold at big-box garden centers and
nurseries are pre-treated with neonicotinoid
insecticides. These are systemic — they're absorbed
into every cell of the plant. The roots. The stems.
The leaves. The pollen. The nectar.

When a bee feeds on the nectar of a neonicotinoid-
treated flower, it ingests the insecticide. The effect
isn't always instant death. It's worse.

Neonicotinoids disrupt bee navigation. The bee can't
find its way back to the hive. It flies in circles
until it's exhausted. It dies alone, lost, in your
neighbor's yard.

A sub-lethal dose causes the colony to slowly
collapse. Workers forage less efficiently. The queen
lays fewer eggs. Larvae develop poorly. Over weeks,
the hive dies.

Your "pollinator-friendly" plant was pre-loaded with
the #1 chemical linked to pollinator collapse.

How to buy truly bee-safe plants:
Ask the garden center directly: "Were these treated
with neonicotinoids or systemic insecticides?"
Buy from local native plant nurseries — they rarely
use systemics.
Look for "neonicotinoid-free" labels — some nurseries
are now advertising this.
Grow from seed — guaranteed untreated.
After purchasing treated plants: wait 1 full growing
season before allowing pollinators to visit — the
chemicals can persist in the plant for 1-3 years.

The bee on the label was a marketing graphic.

The chemical inside the pot was the real product.

Ask before you buy. Or grow from seed.

The Coexist Collection is a reminder that wildlife doesn’t exist “around” us. They’re part of the same world we are.

Share the earth. Share the garden. Make a little room for the lives happening beside ours.

Went out for a run. Immediately got distracted by the largest frog I’ve seen in approximately 84 years.

Anyone else instantly stop what they’re doing when they see a cool frog/turtle/bird/random creature?

The world feels loud lately.

Constant notifications. Constant opinions. Constant pressure to keep up, consume more, move faster, do more.

I think that’s part of why so many of us feel pulled toward the woods, the mountains, the ocean, the garden, or even just a quiet walk outside. Nature reminds us what it feels like to breathe again.

No algorithms.
No noise.
No performance.

Just wind through the trees, birds overhead, sunlight on your skin, and the reminder that there’s still a real world out there waiting for us to reconnect with it.

We weren’t meant to spend all our time surrounded by concrete and screens.

What helps you reconnect and slow down?

There’s a really underrated kind of beauty in rainy days.

The reflections in puddles.
The sound of water hitting leaves.
The way everything suddenly feels quieter and slower for a little while.

I think a lot of people see gloomy weather and mentally rush through it, thinking of sunnier days, but, some of the coolest little moments happen in the rain.

Anybody else weirdly love rainy days?

Wildlife doesn’t belong “somewhere else.”

It’s all around us. In the forests, deserts, oceans, backyards, and quiet places we sometimes take for granted.

Every small choice to care, protect, and coexist matters 🌲🦊

The Protect Our Wildlife tee was made for the people who believe that too.
