A photo of a Lilac-breasted Roller perched on a tree branch. The bird has a purple chest, blue body, and pale head.

The Lilac-breasted Roller is always dressed for spring. This monogamous bird mates for life, with courtship rituals that include swooping, diving, & rolling through the air. Lilac-breasted Rollers are so at home in the sky that they can breed in flight!

Pope Leo on an airplane, standing in the aisle, holding a baseball bat.

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

You all are talking about “the Pope is weak on crime” and I feel like the real gem is “should get his act together as Pope.”

Okay - so they are lying to themselves too - it’s not just us.

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

You’re right.

That might not be enough time to bury the Statue of Liberty and distribute 400 million ape costumes.

in persian culture, telling someone "we're going to kill you all" is considered deeply offensive

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.

Lenticular clouds over Mount Rainier that look like alien space ships. Glowing red and yellow as they are backlit by the sunrise.

Some alien ships coming in for a landing over Mount Rainier this morning. Nicely lit by the sunrise during our morning walk.

Life during this (mal)administration is a fucking grind. First time around I was outraged and feisty. Now it’s like “we got through Covid with this idjit, we just have to keep moving forward while he fucks up hard enough and often enough for his loyalists to get it”.

They call me whatever names they want. I will never stop fighting for the right to vote and against voter suppression.

I never thought I would have the same work gripes as an astronaut but here we are!

It's terrible when political leaders wants to build monuments to themselves. But even worse when they close and tear down and replace structures that have come to symbolize our democracy. It's the tragedy of Edifice Wrecks.

Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.

The Supreme Court ruled that nobody is a U.S. citizen

Chief Justice Roberts stated “No person can be in this country. We all have to leave. Now.” The judges packed up their robes and are getting on a boat

Gilead refuses to sell groundbreaking HIV prevention drug to MSF Blocking humanitarian organizations from accessing a medical breakthrough puts vulnerable people across the world in danger.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.

The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

Yay you! We went to a great protest in Sonoma and it felt wonderful to be amongst fellow travelers.

Needs a more modern Norman Rockwell treatment.
