Gandalf: Behold Shadowfax, king of horses, chief of the Mearas, he who flies faster than arrows

Tom Bombadil: 🎶 Fatty Lumpkin is his name! 🎵 Look at him caper! 🎶 Isn't he gay? 🎵 :D

Samwise: This is Bill. We would die for each other

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

James Baldwin

A male pileated woodpecker chipping away at the base of a dead tree in the back of my property. I love the wood chip flying away and how his tongue is probing for insects. #birds

I didn’t split my yarn ball to begin with (doing an outside pull for one sock and center pull for the other) but quickly learned that was a mess. So I cut the yarn and split the ball after all. I regret trying a center pull every time! Maybe it’s my budget winder. #sockknitting

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday friends! Great-horned Owl. #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #birdsofalberta #birdsofcanada #birdsoftheworld #owlsofcanada

Thousands of bright yellow orbs of light illuminate a dark forest.

In the midst of darkness, there is something beautiful about choosing to chase the light.

Always give owls space, don't trample sensitive ecosystems to get the shot, and never post nest locations on social media.

Brick wall with hole at the bottom, and hedgehog-shaped sign above the hole which reads: 'Please keep open'

Hedgehog numbers have declined by 30% in the last 10 years. Help them by creating ‘hedgehog highways’. Hedgehogs travel up to two miles every night, in search of food & a mate – so holes in the bases of fences & walls give them room to roam!

I finished my third pair of pirate socks of the year. For fun, I worked both the cuffs and toes with the same two colorways in helical knitting. The cuff and toe of both socks are shown here. As usual, the socks turned out better than I thought they would.

This week, the Trump admin:

- Gutted a critical environmental division of the Department of Justice
- Rescinded memos and directives regarding environmental justice at the DOJ
- Announced plans to close the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights

I long for the simplicity of a problem that can be solved by throwing jewelry into a volcano

A hummingbird with a V shape flight pattern and rainbow reflection in its wings flys through a cactus with the sun in the corner of the shot.

Fuck it. Hummingbird rainbow wins. 🪶

A stunning small bird with iridescent emerald-green feathers covering its body, a sleek black beak, and tiny red feet perched elegantly on a mossy branch. The intricate details of its overlapping feathers catch the light, creating a mesmerizing shimmer, while the softly blurred green background enhances the bird’s vibrant colors and natural beauty.

The Bronze-tailed Plumeteer is a forest-dwelling hummingbird, distinguishable by its bright red toes. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social this morning.

A tiny brown creeper with a white belly, a curved beak and a brown and rusty patched back with a long stiff tail.

It has been exactly four winters since this Brown Creeper spent the winter with us. It would come every night and have a few sunflower seeds spilled by the other birds and then fall asleep in the tree. I would come home at the same time it would come to go to bed. #birds #Colorado

A North Carolina wildlife crossing will save people. Can it save the last wild red wolves too? ALLIGATOR RIVER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, N.C. (AP) — Hunters were once the greatest human threat to the country’s only unique wolf species. Today, it’s motorists. That fact was brought home last June...

Wildlife crossings are vital in a highway-fragmented world.

Bat brick for new build home, with bat logo

We think these bat bricks for new builds are a great example of how innovation and creativity can help wildlife!

This is how drivers have killed pedestrians: an impatient driver who can’t be bothered to wait four seconds behind the law-abiding driver who’s yielding to the person with the ROW just barrels through. I saw him, but what if I didn’t?
