The Milky Way above a mountain lake. There’s light reflected on the water with large boulders. Two pines are silhouetted.

Wish you were here ⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊

It's not an accident. It's calculated to remind the employees of the threat.

Oh shit! Has it already happened in Australia?

Drop Dead Gorgeous did it better.

I love them both. The contrast between the color of the butterfly and the alfalfa blossoms is beautiful, but I must admit that I’m partial to the rabbit brush picture because the rabbit brush is such a nondescript plant that gets those bright yellow flowers in the fall.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

The fuken audacity to call the dignity and safety of black, brown, Trans, able bodied, first nation, women and LGBTQ+ people a mere subject of debate.

Fuck you

That’ll get your blood pumping early in the morning!

If we’re gonna call this out…

He lived by the sword, and he died by the sword.

He died doing the very thing that he loved the most … making money telling college students his harmful views that have no basis in fact

The Presidential Handy of Freedom?

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

Where’s their cousin? I hope he’s not at the bottom of that cuddle puddle.

I pray that time will take him soon. Before they replace him with someone worse. It’s hard to do for them at least. No one has been able to convince them like he has. He has an absurd magic in those little grabbing hands. When they grasp at life no more, this is what I’ll long for. That day.

I have taken it upon myself to respond to people on social media (who agree with RFK) to do us all a favor and never go to the doctor again.

If you are only listening to outliers who are rejected by the scientific community, then just stay home and stop putting a strain on our healthcare system

Don Junior and Eric are living proof that's not the case.

I certainly appreciate your effort.
Thank you for sharing the photos.

They are so beautiful!

What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing.
We need to hear more about the good things that happen around us.
Did you find any orchids?

Happy Pride Month!

I hope that it was this duck who took him out.

Stop calling this gaudy plane a "gift"--it is a bribe.

And transferring ownership to Trump's nonexistent "presidential library" is obviously tax fraud.

"Donald Trump is a cunt."

Paging Dr. Pimple Popper!

A yellow lizard on a pink-beige rock, almost at a 45 degree angle on the surface of the sloping rock. The lizard is exceptionally scaly, with big thorny chunks of armor, like an armadillo or alligator. The head is pointy with flared bits of armor along the back of the head-line.

'Ouroboros' is from Ancient Greek οὐροβόρος, 'tail-eater'. A symbolic representation of eternity or life & death, a snake swallowing its own tail.

So when I tell you the Armadillo girdled lizard has scientific name 'Ouroborus cataphractus', you can guess something else about it.

Give me a fucking break. I’m a 52 year old gay man. I was a teenager in the late 1980s when the entire world described us as immoral, disgusting, disease carriers. People were arrested for “gross indecency” for kissing in public. Homophobic attacks were routine and somehow I’m not a fucking Nazi.

Just another quirk that adds to their charm.

I love these guys!
They’re beautiful birds and they make so many interesting sounds.
Why do they stare up at the sky?
