oneshot is a state of mind

An eastern box turtle sitting in the grass with wet leaves plastered to its shell.

A turtle roughly the size of a silver dollar stands on a concrete porch.

A Virginia opossum is visible about 8 feet away from the camera, apparently making eye contact with a large sedge colored dog with a blue collar. The dog's ears are oriented forward in interest. There are dead leaves and vines covering the forest floor.

Across an expanse of grass and a wide asphalt path, three white tail deer are visible near a treeline. One has its tail lifted vertically to warn for danger as it heads toward the treeline; a second is looking toward the first deer for a cue. The third is standing still in the middle of the grass, looking toward the camera. All three have no antlers.

Millions of diverse plant and animal species and I'm alive to see so many of them!

A large sedge colored dog with wavy fur and a long tail is pictured walking through grass. He's alert and panting, with relaxed ears and a loose white leash. Over his harness there's a crocheted blue and purple bandana.

A well-lit deciduous forest with a dense understory of low ferns. It is daylight and most of the image is a bright green.

A large sedge colored dog in a blue harness is laying on a fine gravel path with his head in the lap of the picture-taker, who is sitting cross-legged. A hand with a wedding ring is visible on the dog's head.

Everything happens so much – but I have a little guy who will run around the woods with me for 2 hours every single day. Honeysuckle and wild roses are blooming. I have the freedom to just get in my car and drive places with my dog.

There's nothing quite like walking a dog at all hours of the day to make you realize how beautiful the world around you is

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Don’t let the Negative Nancys get you down. It’s up to you to decide when you’re broke.

Spend as much time with your cats as you can. Rack up every single second with them that you can.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

Anyway it turns out if you tell a robocall from a police PAC "i wish you were a real person so i could tell you how fucking little i care about cops" it'll hang up on you

the professor in my real estate law class had to use the wayback machine for HUD pages on disability accommodations in housing for this week's unit on fair housing. grim.

Here is the guidance in full. The wording is very broad. This should help a lot of organizations and people.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Germany protesting

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

Take yall children to those black history events that will be held at some local libraries. It starts at home

The illegal combatant cases are the wrong frame to think about this. DHS detainees have regulatory, statutory, and constitutional protections because of who they are not *where* they are.

Concentrating them at Gitmo does not extinguish those rights. The illegal combatant cases don't apply.

This really highlights the foundational importance of The Bluesky Way (“immediately block anybody who says anything even remotely unchill to you or to anybody you like”)
