The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.

Little anole visiting me on the patio this morning.

I'm sorry there are people out there being so awful. Your adorable rats bring me great joy and if I could I would snuggle them and give them kisses!

Bird with a stubby grey bill, and a grey head with broad black stripes on the sides, and thinner stripes through the eye and below the cheeks. The nape and breast sides are rufous, and the upperparts are black-streaked buff-brown with white wing bars. The throat is white, and the underparts are off-white, becoming brown on the flanks and with a black breast patch. Description taken from Wikipedia

Absolutely! I don't wish it on anyone but I guess it's good to know I'm not alone.

Found this devil's urn mushroom while foraging this weekend. Not edible but still a fun find. #fungifriends #fungi #mushrooms #minnesota

Mushroom foraging this weekend has been successful and a blast! Found a nice cluster of #morels ! #fungi #mushrooms #minnesota

Little frog in Central Minnesota woods. I think it's a spring peeper, but id'ing frogs is not something I'm sure about. I'm sure it's cute though!

The first trilliums of the season are coming in in central Minnesota. #flowers #trilliums #forest #minnesota

Enjoy, you lucky folks in the UK. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting here in the US for May 12th!

Another shot of glorious spring crabapples #flowers #spring #minnesota

Spring takes a long time to arrive in Minnesota but it feels so glorious when it gets here! Nothing quite like spring crabapples!

This cedar-apple rust fungus I found on my morning walk kind of looks like a sunflower! St. Paul MN #fungus #fungifriends

Yay! On the edge of my seat waiting for my pre-order! I've been loving the excerpts in Reactor!

Why are we even trying to break ourselves up into separate labels? Shouldn't we all just team up as not 'the right' and fix what's going on?

So excited! I've been anticipating this ever since I finished my third playthrough!!

Ice director wants to run deportations like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’ Todd Lyons said he wanted US immigration agency to be ‘like a business’ in its deportation process

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

My copy just arrived, so excited! And the signature looks like it is "Blue"! That's kind of fun that I got one of the early signatures, I thought since I didn't do a very early pre-order that I would be on the tail end of it. Thank you for being you @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social !

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

ICE detention is a for-profit business. Now it all makes so much more sense #immigration 😢 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
