Robert Louis Stevenson’s Art of Living (and Dying) On summer break from his university studies, a young Robert Louis Stevenson worked late into the night. He apprenticed in his family’s lighthouse engineering business but had no interest in the tra…

On some icy branches, there are three house finches. On the left, a female looking ahead, in the center a male with body facing the first, but head turned around to look at another female on the right.

🪶 #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mr&Mrs, but here it looks like the avian version of the meme of the couple with the guy looking back at another girl. House finches in winter.

I don't think this is normal. Not a medical professional, just a person who used to have one. I'm so sorry you are in pain. My friend who experienced something similar to you had hers removed two weeks (?) after it was put in. Just didn't work for her.

Sound up!

Reporters should start wearing lapel pins featuring Miss Piggy. She’s tough, fearless, and doesn’t take shit from anyone. Embrace it, celebrate it. It’ll piss him off no end.

Really nice stiff arm to scumbag former viewers from @wcnc-charlotte.bsky.social on TikTok. Local journalism in Charlotte has been doing a great job covering the attack on our community.

In the end, we no longer operate in a marketplace of ideas.
Platforms run a marketplace of feeling, where attention, not evidence, decides what rises. Emotional charge beats truth every time. Politics adapts to that logic, producing hollow performances instead of functional decisions.

A blooming rose, cream colored petals with a hint of pink at the very tips of several of the petals.

I don't know what I might have done to have this rosebush gift me with this lovely rose in the middle of November, but here it is. On the South Shore of Long Island, New York.

The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Some young sheep who are trying to lure me into their cult, which involves rigorous sobriety and the worship of old gates

A sheep staring at me insouciantly moments after it has set fire to the world.

A cow who is feeling happy because I have taken the photo it will use for the cover of its psychedelic debut LP which it feels confident will get a five out of five star rating in Rolling Stone magazine.

5 sweaters that would make truly excellent gifts

I really like the use of "would" here. They WOULD make excellent gifts...IF NOT FOR THE HORRIBLE CURSE

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?'

Hey!

We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

"This new age will be defined by a competence and a compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another. We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about."

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.
