And the challenge begins. Are you brave enough to enter?

Many starlings are sitting in a bare tree. The background is the sky. Black-and-white photo.

A bird is never afraid that the branch will break. It always trusts on his own wings. Believe in yourself 🫶

A pair of smallish, wet and bedraggled polar bear cubs look towards the photographer from behind some boulders along the beach. Some pink fireweed in the foreground add a pop of colour to the scene.

These polar bear cubs are 8 months old. They will stay with their mother (watching out of frame) for another year and a half before they are ready to venture out on their own. They were so curious of us humans watching from a giant, silent, tundra buggy. 🌿🦊🐻‍❄️

An overturned stick is held up in the air so we can view the underside of a family of splitgill mushrooms growing off its bottom. Photo taken in April by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

Picture of an owl, looking at the camera, wings pinned back and gliding above a picture of the same owl looking at the camera and raising one wing.

"Morning, Jim!"
"Hey, Tom."

When the playground bully is spinning the marry-go-round of injustices so hard that everyone on the edge is being forced to their death, all that is left to do is keep yelling how wonderful it is. I am so proud of all who are putting down their feet and trading in some soles to save some souls!

Portals of the Body

A powerful, otherworldly female figure with molten, lava-like skin walks through a jagged volcanic canyon. Her body appears to be made of cracked obsidian with glowing red magma seeping through the fissures. Long, tangled black hair flows like smoke, and sharp, demonic fins protrude from the sides of her head. Her expression is calm but intense, as if she commands the fury of the earth itself. Rivers of glowing lava surround her, creating a hellish, elemental scene of mythic fire and darkness. This image was generated using an open-source model (based on FLUX.1-schnell) via perchance.org, employing a layered text prompt. Post-processing in Lightroom increased resolution, and the final JPEG reflects deliberate prompt engineering and refinement. Distribution is for non-commercial creative use only.

She doesn’t rise from the ashes—she is the volcano.

Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

As fog blanketed Seattle, @knibbs.bsky.social's waited to meet @jay.bsky.team—CEO of Bluesky. Fittingly, just before she arrived, the skies cleared. It felt poetic. Her name, Lantian, means “blue sky” in Mandarin. And her mission? Clear the smog from social media.

How about a free concert in Washington June 14 with The Boss and Taylor Swift. That would make him so mad!

That sounds amazing! A free concert on June 14th with The Boss and Taylor Swift. Better than going to his birthday party!

Reminder: There are far more people working for justice, equality, and diversity than opposing them. Don’t let hopelessness trend in your head.

I absolutely love this, and I love Sen. Cory Booker and Leader Hakeem Jeffries for finding creative ways to break through the madness.

Let this sit-in be the first of many, in every growing numbers.

Fun day doing crafts @tccidaho.bsky.social
