Today's story: Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of kilometers from across the U.S. and Canada to just a few mountain forests in central Mexico. They rely on the sun, the Earth's magnetic field, and a unique multi-generational life cycle to complete the journey.

You might think about bats as flitting around in the dark and hunting insects, but some species feed on fruits or flowers—and play an important role as pollinators. One place that role is crucial is in the relationship between bats and agave plants. Bat conservationist Kristen Lear joins Host Ira Flatow to describe efforts to restore agaves in the Southwest and Mexico, which has consequences for bats, for the ecosystems around the agave, and for your liquor cabinet, since agave is the source of drinks like tequila and mezcal.Plus, journalist Dan Fagin joins Ira to discuss his recent New York Times article on a new technology that is letting researchers follow individual monarch butterflies over the course of a thousand-mile migration. Guests:Dr. Kristen Lear is director of the Agave Restoration Initiative at Bat Conservation International, based in Austin, Texas.Dan Fagin is a science journalist and the director of the Science, Health & Environmental Reporting Program at New York University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

On this weeks' episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw first guides you through a deep dive exploration of the current transits connected to this Gemini Full Moon.  Then, Jeff is joined by one of his cosmic siblings, the incredibly talented Gemini, Mary Evans of Spirit Speak. Together, they flutter into the mutable magic of Gemini through storytelling, curiosity, and duality. Mary and Jeff explore Gemini archetypes across astrology, popular culture, and personal experience, including butterfly symbolism inspired by Dolly Parton's “Love Is Like a Butterfly.” The conversation also delves into personal and spiritual experiences, from Mary's childhood encounters with death and spirit guides to reflections on how these formative experiences shape creativity, art-making, deck creation, and teaching. Mary is the founder of Spirit Speak Tarot, and the creator of six tarot and oracle decks, so naturally the conversation also explores tarot and divination.  This includes Temperance and the Lovers, reflecting Gemini's adaptability, duality, and relational dynamics. She also discusses her work with children and adults through school programs, art workshops, and community-based “Witch Craft" arts and crafts nights, highlighting the spiritual and creative development fostered through art. And towards the end of their conversation, we listen to the song "Oh My God" by Gemini Ryan Allen Gray's, providing a lens on Gemini themes of queerness, religious trauma and integration of self. Listener questions spark final discussions on fashion as archetypal expression, navigating 2025 as a Hermit Year, and twin/soul-sibling dynamics. Recorded for the Gemini Full Moon, this episode is a playful and illuminating journey through mutable skies, offering insight, inspiration, and guidance for creating in a world of multiplicity. __________________________________________________ The Online Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Online Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived!

Some tropical vines depend entirely on pollen-eating butterflies, which in turn rely on the vines for food. Female flowers mimic male flowers to attract pollinators.

On this week’s episode of Let's Talk we're diving into a topic that will impact young people and any adults who love, work with, or educate them: We're talking about the incoming social media age restrictions, otherwise known as "the social media ban". There's been a lot of discussion and even confusion about what these changes mean, why they're happening, and how they might affect the wellbeing of teens as they navigate a world increasingly shaped by online connection. Australia is leading the world in this space, and the whole world is watching. Joining Yvie today is Danni Rowlands, the Director of Education Initiatives at Butterfly, who has spent nearly two decades working with young people, their families, sports clubs and schools. Danni brings a deep understanding of how digital environments shape identity, mental health, and the ways young people relate to their bodies. The ban was initiated, in part, because of the negative impact social media can have on their body image. Danni will explain how body image, mental health, and online safety more broadly, is not only about the platforms or algorithms. It's about people, community, belonging, and the pressures young people face as they grow up in a world that is constantly asking them to compare, perform, and keep up. More importantly, she'll share how adults can support the next generation through this major transition.

Recent brides and their fathers who paid for the wedding won’t be surprised to learn that the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is between $30,000 and $36,000, depending on the couple's choices, incuding the wedding location and number of guests. One of the major costs of any wedding is photography. In an image-driven society where pics of the most mundane activities are posted online for public consumption, capturing the biggest day of many women’s lives in pictures is often complicated. Along with conflicting emotions about body image, and the stress of a major financial investment, unlike the informal pictures of a birthday or a vacation, wedding photos capture a rite of passage and who doesn’t want to look their best for posterity? Wedding photographer Katelyn Craven of Butterflies of Hope Photography knows how to ensure that the money is well spent. Butterflies of Hope Photography is a family-owned photography studio founded by Katelyn’s mother, Heather Banker. Working out of their Prairieville studio, Katelyn leads all wedding photography under her own brand, Butterflies of Hope by Katelyn, and frequently travels across South Louisiana— from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, Lafayette and St. Francisville—for weddings and engagements. During the pandemic, many brides were either postponing big-ticket weddings or opting for smaller backyard unions at home. As a result, couples have become more aware of the environmental impact of their special day. Invitation cards, welcome bags, and other plastic props and tchotchkes that were once trendy but too often discarded are now passe for the environmentally-friendly couple. Wedding bouquets and flowers aren’t immune to the trend either, with planners noting fewer boutonnieres and more pocket squares for the groom and groomsmen. But what of the bride and her maids? Inspired by her own disappointing experience with a wedding florist, Lauren Bercier co-founded Something Borrowed Blooms, a rental service featuring premium silk floral collections that couples can rent for about 70% less than fresh flowers. What started with a dozen weddings a month has grown to more than 2,000 weddings per month during peak season, with over 55,000 weddings fulfilled to date. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard. You can find photos from this show by Ian Ledo and Miranda Albarez at itsbatonrouge.com.

RU6: STEVEN REISNER ON THE DANCE OF THE OCCULT & UNCONSCIOUS IN FREUD https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru6-steven-reisner-on-the-dance-of Rendering Unconscious episode 6. This episode of Rendering Unconscious is a lecture by Dr. Steven Reisner “On the Dance of Occult and Unconscious in Freud” given at Morbid Anatomy Museum, NYC, October 2016, as part of a lecture series hosted by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair on Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult. In this lecture, Dr. Reisner explores Freud's interest in the occult and its implications for psychoanalytic theory. Reisner argues that Freud's curiosity extended beyond sexuality to include phenomena beyond sensory perception. He discusses Freud's experiments with telepathy and thought transference, emphasizing the importance of integrating denied knowledge. Reisner also highlights Freud's cautious approach to disseminating such knowledge, balancing scientific rigor with public perception. Additionally, Reisner links Freud's theories to contemporary issues like resistance to knowledge and the impact of narcissistic or traumatized parents on their children's sensitivity to occult phenomena. This talk was first presented at a conference organized by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, exploring the intersections of Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult, held in London, May 2016. The Fenris Wolf 9 is a book of collected papers from this conference anthologized by Sinclair and Abrahamsson. https://amzn.to/3XXcwnd Steven Reisner, PhD is a psychoanalyst and political activist in New York. He is a founding member of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology, Advisor on Psychology and Ethics for Physicians for Human Rights and past-President of Psychologists for Social Responsibility.

Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. There is nothing more normal when you're about to give a high pressure speech (and not everyone's version of a high pressure speech is the same) than butterflies in the stomach. It's your body telling you that what you're about to do is new, harrowing, or something you think you're not experienced enough for. The thing is, if you've prepared and done every bit of prep you need, your body is wrong. You are ready and the butterflies are normal and everyone, no matter how experienced, gets them. It's just about recognizing that they are normal, incorrect, and you are experienced and prepared for the speech.Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)

Sheriff Labrador discovers that the “Dr. Isabel” who borrowed the butterfly key was actually… a bowl-cut squirrel in disguise!

What do grasshoppers, prescribed fire, and peer pressure have in common?  In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Harmon, the new head of Oklahoma State University's Natural Resource Ecology and Management department, to find out.  From his early days counting insects in Wisconsin to leading research on pollinators and rangelands in North Dakota, Dr. Harmon brings a wide-lens perspective to land management - one that blends ecology, culture, and community. Hosts John Weir, Dr. Laura Goodman, and Dr. Mark Turner chat with Dr. Harmon about everything from cattle grazing and monarch migration to how landowners manage for appearances rather than outcomes.  They also explore how Oklahoma's ecological diversity - and its people - are shaping the future of conservation.  Whether you're passionate about prescribed fire, curious about critters, or just love hearing smart folks talk about working landscapes, this one's for you. Takeaways Dr. Jason Harmon's background blends insect ecology with rangeland research. Cultural perceptions influence landowners' willingness to adopt ecologically diverse pastures. Fire remains an unmatched tool for managing range health and reducing woody encroachment. Oklahoma and North Dakota face different stages of similar land challenges. Pollinators are not just bees-grasslands can host hundreds of native insect species. Milkweed interactions with cattle are species-specific and under-researched. Oklahoma's ecological range-from alligators to bighorn sheep-mirrors the diversity of its management needs. Interdisciplinary collaboration enhances natural resource problem-solving. Prescribed burning is a proactive solution that prevents larger wildfire disasters. OSU's natural resource programs offer versatile career pathways through specialized tracks.

Sheriff Labrador finds a mysterious brown hair… and the hunt for the missing golden caterpillar gets even stranger!

Dr. Isabel is proudly singing about her shiny Queen Butterfly… until she checks the glass cabinet and discovers it has vanished!

The State of the Butterflies in the United States project demonstrated that butterfly populations across the US are dramatically declining — they fell by more than 20% between the year 2000 and 2020. There are multiple causes, but one of them is the loss of caterpillar host plants. Getting more host plants into our neighborhoods and parks is essential — but what happens if those plants are contaminated by pesticides and they are toxic to the caterpillars that need them?To talk more about this conundrum is Aaron Anderson. Aaron is no stranger to Bug Banter listeners. Aaron is a member of Xerces' pesticide reduction team, where his work focuses on reducing pesticide use in residential landscapes, including promoting alternative pest-control measures and pollinator-friendly gardening practices. More pertinently, he recently was a coauthor on a study of pesticide contamination of butterfly host plants.---Photo Credit: Kevin BurlsThank you for listening!

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening: You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you. Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn't actually as fragile as you think...it's just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability. This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest. What You'll LearnWhy insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everythingHow your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms themA practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sidewaysHow triggers point to deeper inner work you've been avoidingWhy protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven't mastered yeWill digs into:How this same lesson plays out with his daughterWhen “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassingWhy understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle itHow to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numbWhy This Matters If you're on a spiritual path, you're going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people's emotional chaos. It's not about perfection. It's about awareness. Control. Choice. Perfect For You If:You're tired of absorbing other people's crapYou react too quickly and regret itYou're working on boundaries or emotional intelligenceYou're ready to level up your spiritual resilienceWant to Support the Show?

This time, we are back with a return to Anime Pasadena and then our first visit to Last Call Theatre for their latest experience, The Butterfly Effect.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we add a little entomology creamer into our New Age spiritual enlightenment coffee with the tale of...the Butterfly People. When a massive crop circle depicting the Vitruvian Man as a Butterfly Man pops up in the Netherlands, skeptics and believers alike are baffled. Was this design man-made, as the lying media would like to suggest? Or is it alien, perhaps even cosmic, in its design? We tie this event into a bizarre phenomenon that would occur only a few years later: the Butterfly People of Joplin. All this and much more!

A caterpillar that looks like poop sends Dr. Isabel the Chinchilla on the silliest butterfly adventure ever!

Strap into your tighty-whiteys folks, because this week we take on Something's Gotta Give, a movie that opens with Crazy Town's “Butterfly” and only gets more bewildering from there. Nick, Elise, and Anthony wade through a Hamptons fantasy land where everyone is wealthy beyond reason, morals take the day off, and Jack Nicholson wanders around in tighty-whiteys giving new meaning to his SAG card. We did not plan to hit this one, but Diane Keaton's passing continues our accidental tradition of rearranging the watchlist every time Hollywood breaks our hearts. Once the shock wears off, the real questions start piling up. Why is half the cast named “Beauty,” and why does the movie treat CPR like a party trick? How is Keanu Reeves the only person behaving like he belongs in a functioning society? And at what point did Nancy Myers decide that age gaps large enough to trigger a carbon dating session should be adorable? Step aside Geoff and make room for Fair Weather Manny who decided that this is a world so disconnected from reality that he tapped out of this episode.   By the time we wrap, we are staring down the film's unbelievable box office numbers, the critic scores that feel like clerical errors, and the troubling fact that Nicholson's undercarriage has more screen presence than some billed actors. Pull up a chair and pour one out for Diane Keaton. You deserved better, we all did. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337741/

What happens when the pursuit of belonging turns darkly funny, heartbreakingly real, and deeply human? Rebecca Greene sits down with Oxford PhD student and author Heather Colley to explore her brilliant debut novel The Gilded Butterfly Effect, a darkly observant look at campus life, beauty culture, and the messy search for belonging. Together they unpack how sorority life, loneliness, and female friendship collide in unexpected ways. Heather shares the inspiration behind her unforgettable characters Penny and Stella, the Shakespearean roots of her title, and why fiction helps us feel less alone. Through laughter and reflection, Rebecca and Heather explore why young women crave connection, how easily identity gets lost in the crowd, and why every generation faces its own version of the fitting in struggle. It's a raw, smart, and deeply relatable conversation about growing up, finding yourself, and learning that sometimes being different is the truest form of belonging. KEY TAKEAWAYS→ Belonging can bring both comfort and confusion→ Fiction helps readers feel less alone in their experiences→ Female friendships are often messy, layered, and deeply real→ Loneliness hides even in the most social places→ Finding your people takes time and self-awareness→ Parents can support young adults by listening, not judging Quote from Heather“Finding the right people is everything. The book is really about what happens when you're not with the right people and how easy it is to lose yourself trying to belong.” — Heather Colley Call to ActionFind The Gilded Butterfly Effect wherever books are sold and follow Heather at heathercolleyauthor.com or on Instagram @heathercolleyauthor Learn more about your ad choices.
