Thank you for your words. I needed to hear this today.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

POLAR BEAR IS THE #2025MMM CHAMPION!!!!

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I love Finch! It helps me focus on the little things and the good things instead of getting overwhelmed by all the big things going on.

Remember that you were raised on stories about hyperindividualistic chosen ones where saving the entire world is the minimum win condition.

It's fine to tune your expectations down from that a smidge. You're not going to dethrone god today but maybe do something nice for your neighbors.

An Instagram post of a screenshot someone took of a water planes “stats” i.e. how many drops it’s made and its ground speed etc.

There is something so sweet about the human capacity for enthusiasm. For a few days everyone in LA has been glued to Watch Duty and getting in the weeds of how water drops work. Now there are people out here who honestly have a favorite water plane that they are following closely and rooting for.

Rough series of events for us all. I poked around my archives and found this little snowy plover scampering around the beach.

I can't believe I've been sitting on this almost a year!

Take 30 seconds to put a smile on your face. You've earned it. It may be awhile till the next <3
