Two cactus wrens sitting atop a chollo.

I love the way these cactus wrens (photographed today) have a safe shelter inside a chollo catcus where they built their elaborate nest.

Happy International Women's Day!

Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.

It feels so strange seeing an orchid in flower in March, but here it is, a Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum robertianum) in Oxfordshire.

It’s

It maddening

a lot of discussion about how "cosmopolitan" urban dwellers are, but a really underdiscussed trend is the homogenization of culture across *rural* areas of the USA - replacement of once-distinct regional cultures with generic "redneck" accent and culture, regional religions with evanglicalism etc

Leaving a public comment is easy and took me less than a minute. Link toward bottom of article. Super worth-it.

You’ll never guess who they voted for in the last election

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

It’s all so horrible, so truly awful, that so many fucking idiots voted for that orange hemorrhoid and so many fucking republicans refuse to do their jobs and stop him from ruining the world. I just can’t ever forgive any of them, and I’m so sorry to everyone they are killing and hurting 😔

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

More lambs! Another two sets of twins including a pitch black ram lamb. Also featuring an appearance by dad, who doesn’t seem that impressed that he now has 13 offspring at the ripe old age of 9 months!

The rapture-ready idiots always forget that verse

No worries, life is complicated

My own father told me, of my brother who dropped out of high school, “he could’ve been a vet too, he just didn’t want to do the schoolwork,” and I was like THAT’S THE WHOLE OF THE THING, THAT’S ALL OF IT!

FIRE RFK JR

A macro image of the backside of a sleeping bee, whose head is not visible because it's jammed down into the center of a yellow flower. The bee's abdomen is dark with thin light-colored bands of hair. The flower's petals surrounding it are smooth, and the flower's fuzzy stigma is next to the bee, like a yellow pom-pom.

Guess what
Bee butt

A small (under 1 cm., way smaller than a honeybee) male Dufourea sp. bee sleeping in a sun cup (Camissonia campestris) flower in the Mojave Desert last week. Males of many solitary native bees sleep in flowers or use their mandibles to clamp onto thin plant stems. 🐙🌿📷 #BugSky

Happy birthday!

A moment from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan shows Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise during a red alert. Everything is bathed in red light as he stands up from his chair, a look of horror and dawning comprehension on his face as he sees the face of the enemy for the first time. Behind him, we see Beaker (the Muppet) pulling his head down into his shirt to the nose like a frightened turtle.
