Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

For #BirdOfTheDay, a double theme - #MixedPairs with #Finches: a Lesser Goldfinch (justifiably) annoyed with a White-crowned Sparrow in my backyard fountain.

Same Team? The Limits We Impose on a Uniform

Over time, the uniform may stay the same but the teammates who once wore them are different.

Are they still willing to play for the same team? @mlb.com @espn.com @phillies.com

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026

Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

For #BirdOfTheDay, another double theme a #Yellow #SideView Western Kingbird migrating by a local beach.

this war on iran is senseless and appalling

For #BirdOfTheDay a #SongBird with all three #PrimaryColours (at least in the RGB sense) - a Fiji Parrotfinch. 🪶

A #Borb for #BirdOfTheDay - here a Taiwan Fulvetta posing nicely in bamboo. 🪶

On the brink of potentially astonishing breakthroughs in immune therapy, up to and including curing cancer, and instead we’re going to re-litigate germ theory and vaccination. Unreal, world-changing levels of stupidity

Crimson Shining-Parrot - a spectacular long-tailed parrot with brilliant red underparts and head, a blue hindneck collar, and green back and wings - chomping on some garden fruit.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks. Fitting the bill (pun intended) is this Crimson Shining-Parrot from the island of Kadavu in Fiji, one of just two small islands in the world where this near-threatened bird can be found. 🪶

Yellow-billed Chough in the snow in the mountains of Switzerland

Yellow-billed Chough is another double for @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay: #WinterSurvivors and #corvids as the alternate theme. #Birds

A Fairy Pitta for another combo #BirdOfTheDay theme ( #BirdButts, birds showing their Butts, the Alt theme is #Green )

🪶

A photo of a cat under a bed with a rotisserie chicken with the caption: This is Beans. Beans stole a while rotisserie chicken off the counter. Not a piece. The whole chicken. Beans dragged it under the bed and growled at us for forty minutes. Beans is 9 pounds.

Post a banger that's not in English.

Rufous-crowned Laughingthrush - a good sized bird with a bright rufous crown, black mask, and white throat and breast - looking right at the viewer.

Today’s #Birdoftheday theme is #staredown - and this Rufous-crowned Laughingthrush (endemic to Taiwan) has fixed its gaze right on you. 🪶

A Vermilion Flycatcher sitting on a fence - brilliant red bird with a black mask, back and wings

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #posted, a bird on a post or fence, and the alternate is #red - here's both themes in one, a Vermilion Flycatcher. 🪶

A Mourning Dove as it splashes in a fountain, tail high in the air and water droplets all around

A Snowy Egret standing in water, its beak just touching its own reflection

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection. This Snowy Egret had a bit of a narcissus thing going on. 🪶

Pacific Wren in California

Winter Wren, also in California - a rare bird here.

Eurasian Wren, here the endemic subspecies of Taiwan at the far southeastern edge of its range.

For @alan678.bsky.social #BirdoftheDay theme, #BrownIsBeautiful: oh yes, it is! Here's three wrens, all once called Winter Wren (or just "Wren" if you're British), now three separate species. 🪶 (IDs and locations in the alt text)

I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.

But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.
