I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

A black piece of fabric with a cute, comic-strip -style drawing in white of a person wearing a shirt with a little heart on it, and a banner overhead that says FUCK FASCISM. It is signed with another little heart and the name Kimya, for the musician Kimya Dawson, its illustrator.

Not a single good excuse for this in the world. Our government should be mobilizing helpers instead of destroying people's lives. Put your votes where you want your taxes to go. Fucking HELP.

A picture of Modica Way in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Also known as Graffiti Alley, it's an outdoor space where artists can freely paint vibrant street art. There is a colorful canopy over the top of the cobblestone alley, and the main focus of the picture is a large painting of Martin Luther King Jr at the front left of the walkway. There is a person dressed in black pulling a wheeled green suitcase behind them; they are about halfway down the alley, headed to the other side.

A picture of Kraken Crossing, a large-scale, inflatable public art installation by UK-based artists Filthy Luker and Pedro Estrellas of Designs in Air. The artwork consists of giant octopus arms that appear to be stretching out of the windows of a building. The piece is part of the WINTERACTIVE 2026 outdoor art exhibition in Downtown Boston.

A small bronze sculpture depicting a crumpled bag with Necco Wafers spilling out of it. It has a greenish patina and is installed on top of a rock in MIT's University Park.

A sunny day in Little River Canyon. The sky is blue, with a few wispy clouds. The river is hugged on either side by rocks and trees. It is mild for November, but this is to be expected for Thanksgiving in Alabama.

A sunny day in Little River Canyon. The sky is blue, with a funny little cloud. The river is hugged on either side by rocks and trees, and there are large rocks right in the middle. It is mild for November, but this is to be expected for Thanksgiving in Alabama. The thing that you want to do in this picture is sprawl atop the giant rock and close your eyes to the sun while the river makes its music.

It's a crisp November morning on the Litchfield Greenway. There are large evergreen trees in the background, crunchy brown leaves covering the grass, and in the foreground is a dark blue bicycle rack shaped like a bicycle built for two. Not pictured: a woman walking her dog without a leash. I really wish people wouldn't do that on public trails.

In CHS for @chashub.bsky.social and the Waffle House where Anthony Bourdain ate is right next to my hotel so obviously I had a pecan waffle and hash browns for dinner. DYK? FEMA uses a metric called the Waffle House Index to gauge the severity of a natural disaster: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_...

Close-up of a dead tree next to the yellow trail at the Lilly Preserve in Roxbury, Connecticut. It's covered with what I think is a white shelf fungus, but I'm not sure. That sounds yucky but it's really quite lovely. This was a nice hike until we got back to the car and realized we were covered in ticks. That sounds yucky because it is.

PETITION: Protect the Center for Disease Control Library Staff at the CDC Library were laid off on October 10th and have not been brought back. Sign the petition to call for their return.

The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.
