On Feb. 15, 2022, Assembly Bill 977 was introduced to the Wisconsin State Legislature by nine state representatives, and cosponsored by three state senators. Assembly Bill 977 proposed in the cold legal logic of political change that transgender and nonbinary kids under the age of 18 should be prohibited from any gender transition procedures and gender affirming medical care. Thankfully, this bill was left dead on the legislature floor March 15, but similar bills are on the rise across the country, including Missouri’s SB843, Tennessee's HB2835 and Arizona's HB2608. Gender affirming care, however, is critical for the health and livelihood of transgender youth.

But, even if I would like to social distance from just about all parasites, I have to admit, some of them are kind of cool.

Wetlands are unique, important and beautiful landscapes that often go overlooked and unappreciated. Wisconsin was once home to 10 million acres of wetlands, but in the past 200 years, we’ve destroyed 50% of our wetlands. Three-fourths of Wisconsin's wildlife species rely on wetlands for survival, including a variety of threatened and endangered species such as Hine’s emerald dragonfly, a charismatic little bug with bright green eyes and amber wings.
