a small dog wearing a black and orange bandana, collar, and leash sits on a leafy dirt path and looks up at us with large brown eyes. she's white with brown spots on her ears and eyes. she has brown speckles on her left paw, and her right paw is actually a bright orange webbed duck foot. she likes to have fun with her prosthetics.

This is Autumn. She was born without one paw. Gets along just fine with three, but still sometimes uses a prosthetic leg when she wants to blend in. 13/10

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯

Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

LOVE this!

"Brunch" – bougie sounding, fancy french food, evokes images of annoying people complaining about their dating life.

"Second breakfast" – hobbitcore, hearty simple food, evokes images of small courageous acts in the face of mounting doom.

A much-needed moment of calm 🐺

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

Good Vibes for 2025: Libraries are funded partly by how we use their services. Want to keep libraries viable & available in these times of cutbacks? Check out books on a regular basis. Visit their website - see the events & attend them. We’re fortunate to have libraries - let’s keep ‘em funded.

Tweet from @A_B_morgan: My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders. Merriam-Webster QT: The kids are alright.

You had us at "a book of spells, the key to wonders."

Roger grins widely as he stands on top of a blanket on passenger car seat.

Donald Trump doesn’t understand how windmills, umbrellas, ramps, cars, boats, the military, history, math, science, energy, the female anatomy, music, art, film, words, numbers, truth, integrity, honor, humor, or the government works, so why would you expect him to understand how tariffs work?
