Not a Monday Person

Any #birders out there have an app they’d recommend for IDing birds worldwide? I’m traveling to Vietnam in a few months and would love to be able to ID and track what I have seen.

“and every June you’ll have to spend a day rapidly reloading the page to see how many of your rights have expired” -the Founders probably

Just screaming CHECKS AND BALANCES into the ether.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

F.D.A. Poised to Restrict Access to Covid Vaccines

From the comments: “I would not qualify for the COVID vaccine under these new regulations, but… I regularly visit my octogenarian parents in their retirement home, I work with young children… I should be able to get the vaccine to help minimize transmission and keep those around me safe.”

I don’t understand the new obsession with clown culture. And maybe it’s not culture but it’s just having “sexy” photos of yourself in clown or jester makeup in dating profiles. Am I too old to get it?

my fellow Californians of good moral character…

trans people need you, *i* need you, to tell Newsom exactly what you think of him saying trans Californians (in a trans! sanctuary! state!) aren’t worth protecting

PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

We were there. It was drizzling and folks were wet, but it was nice to see people show up and cars honking for us.

Reposting for alt text and account In case you’re unaware the American Medical Associations has a YouTube page, they are doing daily updates on bird flu and other out breaks since the CDC can not

I like that the bird team is winning and the racist mascot team is losing horribly. #sportsrecital

Incredibly rare 'Green Flash' spotted in San Diego, California

I have chosen my champion:

Please write your senators! It takes 2 minutes. Yes, the Republicans will ignore ONE letter, but maybe not all of us.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Yes to Chappell’s win but also her speech, to Doechii’s win, to a black woman (Beyonce) winning country album of the year (though I do really like Kacey Musgraves), to Sabrina’s and Kendrick’s wins. Everyone gets a Grammy!

The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back.

Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

Is it time for the girlie pop versions of Rage Against The Machine? (Does that sound like a terrible idea? I essentially just want to hear protest songs that are also A BOP.)

Teen Vogue published this the day before the executive order about healthcare for trans youth.

I guess that means Trump reads Teen Vogue? You’d think he would have learned something.

Text reads Happy Lunar New Year written in both English and Chinese. Followed by “May the year of the snake fill your heart with joy and your home with prosperity!” There’s a red background and in the foreground there are traditional Chinese red lanterns, and two snakes, one wearing a Chinese wealth hat and the other wearing a Mandarin hat.

Happy New Year for those who celebrate! 🏮🧧

Trying to not absolutely lose my shit over this. Or at least pocket that energy for later, when I can use it.

If you know how we fight this I would love to be educated. Going off to do some research now.
