That’s a huge house! 4 times the square footage of our 1,500 sf house!

TALK ABOUT SUDAN!!

I never get tired of seeing them. A few minutes later this heron switched trees.

Feels like 110 - Try stay cool out there!

Went berry picking with my daughter yesterday and we saw a rabbit!

I just donated! Sorry that you’re having to deal with this but you are doing the right thing!

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

The U.S.A. is becoming the laughing stock of the free world - We Ban Books, Close Libraries, Delete History, Deport Immigrants, Cancel Medical and Food Assistance, Close Down Medical Research, Close Down Research, Sue The Free Press; and Now We Nominate a NONPHYSICIAN To Be the Surgeon General!

There are so many things to be mad at right now, but for some reason I'm especially enraged by the fact that there are places in the USA now where a cop wearing a face mask to illegally protect his identity can arrest YOU for wearing a face mask to protect your health

Skinner meme: ARE WE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE MEANING OF CHRISTIANITY? NO, IT'S THE POPE WHO'S WRONG.*

Just sayin', as someone who grew up Catholic: if you can call the new pope by his chosen name instead of the name he was assigned at birth, you can do the same for the trans folks in your life. It's a sign of respect in both cases.

Maybe Jeff Bezos will still learn something from his ex-wife!

Bill Gates is one billionaire I can admire for giving away his health to help humanity. He may not be perfect but he is trying to affect positive change!

Thank you! I remember when public officials came to our troop meetings to help with different merit badges!

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.

As a lifetime Democrat, I can’t imagine myself voting for someone like Warner who voted for so many of Trump’s nominees. I mean, what’s the point?

Trump says, ‘I don’t know,’ when asked if he’s required to uphold Constitution The president also downplayed fears of a recession and spoke of potential successors when his four-year term ends in an NBC interview.

President Donald Trump, asked during an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,” whether he believes that he needs to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, responded, “I don’t know.”

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Very Easy To Agree! You?😊💙

Sabre Games on the Downtown Mall is hosting a Dungeons and Dragons camp this summer for 10-17 year olds, which is probably the age range I last played D&D.

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...
