Butterflies Can Help

As an antidote to DJT's newest attempt to keep us safe with this executive order: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES, I offer this broken but unbowed specimen from the Tucson Botanical Garden's Butterfly Exhibit:

Even in the most well-protected spaces, and the Butterfly Exhibit's vetting processes are second to none, shit happens.

That's why the poison dart frogs are in their own separate terraria; they were being squashed underfoot and attacked by their compatriots.  

Sometimes, a quarantine is necessary.  Wondering why no one has thought of that in relation to DJT?  Soothe yourself alongside this beastie, resting on the window, wondering what's outside:

The rest of the world is all aquiver

the tangled, intertwined relationships 

between the Reds 

(remember when The Russians were The Reds?)

and the USofA can leave you flat out exhausted

but try not to become discouraged.

Greener pastures

filled with wonders into which we can sink our probosci.

We might be a bit tentative at first

putting out feelers,

determining if the news is real before we decide to dive in

Or, we might just decide to find a quiet place to rest

trying to camouflage ourselves

while keeping our eyes peeled 

for the next tweet storm.
