Measles is terrifying, and I don’t think enough people know it.

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

It is an awesome corner!

A mural depicting John Lewis, painted in shades of purple with the Edmund Pettus Bridge on his left. Background colors are a vibrant orange and yellow. To his right reads “VOTE” and to his left is his quote “Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation.”

Always a timely message. #AlphabetChallenge

So cool!

Thanks for letting me know!! It showed up for me when I first posted it - who knows?!

Floor to ceiling bookshelves meeting in a corner.

So many books.

For sure. But I think that’s the “fun” - it turns the magic school trope on it head and gets really intense.

It is such a fun read!

I am so sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing.

Good lord. New song from Massive Attack with Tom Waits, and it's, well, very pointed:

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know he was adored in his short life and knew that he was a good boy.

My parents always joked that the day they matching matching track suits would be the day we should move them to a senior living facility.

A close-up, color photo of a male, Wired-tailed Manakin bird, perched on a branch in Brazil in Feb. 2025. The bird is small & round with prominent eyes and vibrant colors of yellow, red & a black wired tail. The 3 colors of plumage don't blend. 📸 Antonio Carlos Girotto

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

A book titled “We Sent Them Down Singing”. The cover shows a vertically placed yellow bird with white eyes and a mountain scene place horizontally across its middle.

Not mine, but a friend’s. Appalachian horror! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/we-sent-th...

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

🥚🐣 Did you know? The flightless Elephant Bird’s eggs are 7x larger than those of an Ostrich! Step into the Museum’s Ornithology Collections to discover the biggest and smallest eggs.

This is such a cool idea - I want serialized walking audio mysteries for everywhere!

A photo from a Bruce Springsteen concert. The stage is bathed in green light. Bruce is on stage, and on three large screens.

Obligatory shot from the Springsteen concert last night. What an amazing, angry, hopeful, Minnesota show!

A black chicken and a buffalo colored chicken peek through a wood framed window built into a wood fence. Above the window is a guide to the 6 chickens who live in the coop.
