A very stocky Exmoor Horn ram.

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

today in questions from my four year old: “when people die how do you dig out their bones?”

Me too, even if I was being informed by someone I was mad at or didn't like anymore. I'd prefer it to not be anonymous, too, and to have some sort of "I'm sorry, I know this is awkward and I feel weird being the one to tell you, but..."

Thread:

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Thank you.

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

Genocide is a distraction, you see. #Democrats

Headline: The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

Why It Matters: The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

The Big Picture: Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

the levels of elite impunity we are seeing now and the levels of war crimes we are seeing now are two aspects of the same path of historical development. right now they see war as our problem (and their investment opportunity). it is world historically important that we make war their problem again

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

Aw! 🥹🥕

Tomorrow belongs to me - Cabaret YouTube video by nibelungenstar

Last night I watched the brilliant 1972 film, "Cabaret," for what must be the 30th time; this scene never fails to send chills down my spine. Today, I think of Steve Miller, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, ICE, & the global rise of violent right-wing ideology and organizing. 1/2 youtu.be/SDuHXTG3uyY?...

I saw a performance many years ago, can't remember who/where/when, where the skater didn't do a triple whatever as planned, but opened it up into a single. The announcers were all like, "oh no, points off, he really shouldn't have done that", but I swear it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

Our children are not our possessions, and neither are anyone else’s. They belong to themselves, and being themselves is their responsibility and their right.

I’ll say it again.

Our children are not our possessions, and neither are anyone else’s.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

This is also excellent technique for changing the bedding for folks who aren't able to get up. ❤️

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite.

if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

Sunday Exception:

Swan Perfect Landing

This is Lacey. Her snoot has gone into turbo mode. Cannot be held responsible for what it does next. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: snootcuties)

A black lab puppy lies on a wood floor. He's got a blankie wrapped around his head and he's giving someone out-of-frame puppie-faced side-eye.

Timeline cleanse.

If today feels heavy, I recommend a brief but powerful intervention: Run full-speed at something that makes you happy and commit completely. Bonus points for altitude.

Height is optional, enthusiasm is not.

Proud of you for showing up. That’s the hard part.

Emily, did you write this? It's beautiful, and I would like to share it around.
