Right in the conscience.

Gray whales are starving. Some have died off Oregon Coast Gray whales aren't getting enough to eat to survive their long migration toward Alaska.

Sorry to post this for those who abhor seeing this kind of news about wildlife. But while we are collectively agonizing over the state of our nation, the state of our planet is probably the more urgent news.

The Fraud's Prayer:
Our Father, who art in the White House,
hallowed be thy combover;
thy blingdom come;
thy will be dumb;
In Washington as you are in Florida.
Give us this day our daily round of golf.
And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

Here's a current pic of my new kitten whom I will get in a few weeks. It's bad for a kitten to be taken from mum too early. I love black cats.

Small Joys in Life! The wind in our fur...🍃😻

Because they are always a puppy!

Perhaps more experienced puppy, but puppy still.

This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption!

This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to.

Slumber Pawty! 🐾

Golden retrievers gathered on Boston Common today to honor Spencer, the beloved Boston Marathon dog known for holding a Boston Strong flag along the route.

Spencer passed away after battling cancer.

Humans are not part of shark diet and sharks do not hunt humans
Most shark bites are cases of mistaken identity—where swimmers or surfers resemble seals or fish
Yet Hollywood has never made one movie telling the true nature of sharks
Spielberg made millions for portraying sharks as monsters

I feel you!

Happy birthday sweetheart 😘🤗🎉

I promise you this will fill your heart full of joy.

Nothing captures the positive bond between a human and their dog quite like this.

Priceless ❤️

a shoulders-up headshot of an ancient chinese crested. his body is mostly hairless, with thin wisps of white. but the fur of his face and ears is forming an enormous heart shape from having been blown out by a fan. he’s rocking the salt-and-pepper look of an ambitious Helena Bonham Carter role, with more black along his neck and a bold gray streak atop his noggin and along the edges of his ears. his left eye is one big cloudy blue cataract.

This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)

Two-panel comic with two black cats. In the first panel, one cat interviews the other with a microphone and asks, “I heard you have some pawsitive news about the world?” The second cat smiles and replies, “Yeah!” In the second panel, the answering cat now looks wide-eyed and says, “Not everything is about fear. Some things are getting better. Pandas are recovering… turtles too.” Soft pastel background with a calm, hopeful mood.

A bit of pawsitive reality. Some things are actually getting better 🐾🤍

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.

Thank you for coming to my
Ted talk

a light brown pit bull wearing a maroon shirt sits with her ears pinned back and looks up in our direction. a hand is holding a chewed up certificate in the foreground. the signed certificate is for completion of basic obedience, and it's filled out to Maya la Pitbull. in her obedience class she was taught not to eat homework, but no one said anything about diplomas.

This is Maya. She just graduated from obedience training. May have gotten a little carried away while celebrating. 12/10 (IG: mayalapitbull)

If hummingbirds lived here in Germany and I saw one sitting in the rain I´d put up an umbrella for the bird...

A black fluffy cat with very large, round eyes looks up gently from the bottom of the image. The background is a soft, textured gradient of blue, green, and warm tones. Above the cat, white handwritten text reads: “I hope you know that you’re more than the things your mind says on hard days.”

Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs UC Berkeley study finds employment held steady — and only pennies were added to menu prices.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.

Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

So fluffy!

This is my big doggo, King Merlin. He is getting his first Chemotherapy / Immunotherapy treatment today, to remove a small tumor in his mouth. The good news is it's not cancer. But if we don't act fast, it will keep growing. Let's hope this works. We love our 11 year old pup. Send Prayers. 🙏🏻
