A great blue heron stands on a branch that is curved over a river. Dawn has just started so it is still dark.

A sandhill crane flies above a tree as dawn just begins.

For the #birdoftheday theme of #silhouette, a great blue heron and a sandhill crane. It was the first hint of morning light, so the world was dark as they started the day.

A photo of forget me nots. The lighting is soft, and there are many blooms. Forget me nots are magical.

Boxes of cameras.

Pile of cameras.

We have ordered shipping supplies, and @squeakysquare.bsky.social is currently making a master list of all the cameras for the #ShittyCameraChallenge charity fundraiser!

We’re even throwing in a some good cameras for a few lucky random shitters.

A black and white image of a skeleton holding a sign reading “Not Christmas Yet!” Extra grainy due to intentional reticulation.

A black and white image of a dog skeleton holding a small gourd. There is extra grain because of intentional reticulation.

Close up in black and white of the head of skeleton dog and the gourd. Extra grainy due to intentional reticulation.

A black and white image of a tall marigold. Extra grainy because of intentional reticulation.

Close up pic of a prickly pear cactus bloom. The background is dark, the shade of yellow is a fairly subdued, but over saturated yellow, if that makes any sense.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

The Democratic party put more money and energy into opposing Mamdani than fighting P2025 and Yam Tits. That tells me a lot.

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social

Of my Cat Stevens playlist, I don’t have a bad track on any of them. But, he was what I heard as a kid, so, I might be a bit biased.

Here's a partial list of suspected guilty parties. Call them if they're your senators, friends, right now.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

CRUEL & UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!

USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets Sarah Lungwitz has fretted over feeding not just her two teenage daughters with SNAP payments disrupted, but her family's cat and two dogs. Help has arrived for now, she says, after an Illinois nonpr...

No one is seeing the silent suffers in this. A pet is family. A lot on snap budget what little money they have to make sure their pet is taken care of. It would break my heart to see shelters overwhelmed because of this. I also fear what happens when it gets desperate.

His music was a big part of the soundtrack of my childhood. My dad was into Cat Stevens, my mom into Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce and Ian and Sylvia. They had good taste.

This is so deeply cruel and unjust.

A black and white cat in a surgical collar stands on its hind legs. An electrical cord runs behind them, ending in an outlet on the wall.

That lamp looks PISSED.

This artist is one my dad was very fond of, and his love for this music has been mine for my entire life. Not just the hits, but also the deep cuts.

Don’t forget his supplement scam. Him and “Dr.” Oz have supplements to grift.

Then there is the whole eugenics thing that the entire regime has going on. They want only survival of the fittest, and by fittest they mean richest.
