Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness
😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Crabmandible post featuring three photos of a little rudimentary quadrupedal clay creature with increasingly long legs. Comment reads “I wonder if my ancestors are smilling apon me sometimes” Response from Weepingbird “you: making aalittle thing with clay the ghosts of Australopithecus: yes yes yes yes”

This is one of my favourite Tumblr posts

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.

Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research.

Or 932 years.

[And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

QUEST FAILED: You have betrayed her trust and given her a UTI. You bear the weight of your ancestors shame on your shoulders.

Never seen this, but goddamn I miss prosthetic/practical effects, look how cool and real that goblin is. Holding its own alongside a real life goblin, who is also clearly cool.

Yesterday, the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook showed us the first glimpse of August & it is not pretty. Neither is July. As for June, it looks rough in the SW. This, with diminished federal response capacity & who knows what with FEMA. Buckle up--you're probably on your own.

I at first thought 1/10 was the rating of the week and honestly hard to disagree

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

one angle of this is that it underlines that all these agents *know* what they're doing is unpopular, they *know* their friends and families and neighbors disapprove of it, they're extremely invested in not being outed because of the social consequences

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

The port of Seattle right now. It's completely empty with no new ships coming in.

We're going to have disruptions to access of basic goods unlike anything we have ever experienced in our lifetimes.

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

As with the actual Luddites, what is expressed (or remembered) as a rejection of technology is often, and more appropriately, a rejection of dispossession and theft, to benefit a distant set of unaccountable property owners.

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

this is what slave labor camps look like
