Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

god this guy rules. he says "I'm going to fix this" and then just goes and does it. really humiliating for every other mayor honestly
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

Two Mourning Doves at a bird feeder with a built-in camera. One dove is in profile, very close to the camera, and appears to be looking at it, and the other dove is further back, but also looks like it’s staring straight into the lens.
These two Mourning Doves at my feeder cam look like they just rang my doorbell because Tony Soprano sent them to collect a debt I owe.
MSU Department of Anthropology < ANTHROPOLOGY • Follow 2h • 0 ... The Department of Anthropology is saddened to announce that former anthropology department chair Lynne Goldstein passed away yesterday. Goldstein (PhD Northwestern 1976) moved to MSU from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. She served as MSU department chair from fall 1996 through summer 2006 and retired in August 2018. Lynne was founding director of the Campus Archaeology Program (CAP), which was named one of the winners of the 2017 Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation in recognition of people and organizations who have preserved Michigan's vital historic and cultural resources. She served as the editor of American Antiquity, the journal published by the Society for American Archaeology, and received numerous awards from that organization, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. Lynne was also a 1992 recipient of a President's Award for Exceptional Service to the Profession by the American Anthropological Association. She is best known for her contributions to mortuary studies, as well as her work in Illinois, Wisconsin and in the Great Lakes region, particularly at the Aztalan site. The department sends its heartfelt condolences to Lynne's family and those who knew her best.

Black and sesame Shiba in a blue Japanese robe. The Shiba is tall and slender and looks tres chic
there was a Shiba parade in San Francisco and all the shibas wore yukatas it’s too much
Oxford, of course, at the top of this list. I'd be fascinated to know who made the decision to pursue this kind of thing - was it Congregation? The VC's office?
they're fantastic!
is this the cool horses one? i have been having the same experience
Figured I’d wade into the airport discourse I’m seeing on Bluesky today; Airports are where planes depart from. However, they are also where planes arrive. So it’s important to consider both of these things
The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Do you ever think about how Georges Bataille and his French sociologist friends all got so obsessed with ritual human sacrifice that they formed a secret society to conduct one, but they couldn’t do it because nobody wanted to be the executioner and everyone wanted to be the victim?
there's currently a graduate student who's been detained by the federal government for two years for his political speech. you won't guess what his ideological affiliation is
Pigeons said fuck your spikes. 🪶
An "I believe" sticker with various symbols and the accompanying slogans: Black Lives Matter; Science is Real; Love is Love; Women have the Right to Choose; Trans Rights are Human Rights; Diversity Makes Us Stronger; The American body politic must be purged of fascism and reaction with the purifying flames of a Second Reconstruction; Kindness is everything.
Unironically my ideology (apart from a very pedantic philosophy of science point).
My leading economic indicator is that every time I go anywhere, I see people living in tents or vehicles, and wherever I don’t see them anymore, I see the hostile architecture that forced them out.

I often run into folks who seem slightly confused about where our greenhouse gas emissions come from.
Many folks seem to think that greenhouse gases are basically "CO2 from burning fossil fuels" -- but that's only ~61% correct.
The other ~39% of our emissions stem from other gases and processes.
Former Syracuse basketball player to be deported after more than a month in ICE custody
26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball.
Now being discarded as if he was human refuse.
Shame on Syracuse for not intervening.

Black History Walks have campaigned and received permission to have a blue plaque installed on the National Gallery in Central London for Molineaux and Richmond. It's not cheap, and fundraising isn't quite there yet. Every little bit helps, thank you:

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”
