Happened to have a trip to Baltimore planned this weekend, happy to join in the protests. You may not be Philly but you did good Marylanders.

It’s the law.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The front end of a vehicle stopped at an intersection, held up by a salamander in a tiny safety vest and stop sign. Behind it is a large group of yellow spotted salamanders crossing the road.

Amphibian migration season is coming this spring. Remember to drive slow!

It is kinda funny that people are going wow Canada seems pretty united and pissed off and yeah I guess threatening to take over someone’s homeland and trying to economically ruin them might make folks a little upset that’s wild

I think one of the most interesting things that came out of the pandemic is people who choose to still wear masks, but leave their nose out. No one is forcing you to wear it, so Assumably you want to protect yourself or others, but you’re not doing either?

Followed @blairbraverman.bsky.social on Twitter for years and now following here but in desperate need of a good list of current dogs and what the most famous ones are currently up to. Thrilled to see Leap and Flame and Pepe still thriving! So happy to have these majestic furballs in my feed again!

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

Scientists, it’s been a rough week. And honestly, we don’t lift each other up enough—especially when it comes to mental health. Our careers are built on repetitive rejection of papers, grants, and jobs. That doesn’t define you. You and your science are incredible. Just wanted to remind you of that.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

It feels like there's a program running in the background of my human CPU that's draining the battery and I can't force quit it.

Three male African wild dogs lay bunched together inside a long silver trough filled with straw.

Dog pile! Check out our African wild dog brothers, Cassius, Dax, and Teddy, all curled up together in one of their favorite spots to rest.

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.

Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

I'm sometimes kidding when I say shit like this, but I mean it this time. If you have literally never broken a stupid-ass rule, it's probably hard to break that ice. Go get some practice now if you're one of those people.

It brings me joy to see little critters telling the government to get fucked, in their own little ways.

Happy Black History Month!

To help people understand how much of a threat is taking place:

The United States Justice Department leadership appears to be outright breaking the law to fire career civil servants for Trump.

One person - acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll - is heroically staying true to the law.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

a screenshot from tumblr of an anonymous person's message to Sarah which reads, "YOURE BEHIND SQUID FACTS?!?! [insert preferred formality of choice here] DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING LEGENDARY YOU ARE?! YOU HELPED ME GET THROUGH MY FIRST BREAKUP (I saw the Squids on the way to get some depression pizza (pizza for when I’m depressed))"

Can I interest you, amidst these trying times, in a squid fact?

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
