Barely holding my shit together after an ad for Alzheimer's research.

Can we just outlaw medical commercials altogether?

Stubby season is here in the Pacific Northwest and this chonker is showing some big feelings about being photographed by turning white and burying itself in the sand!

This color change is super hard to photograph, let alone light, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

A submature Great Blue Heron is all fluffed out and hunched up and standing on one leg in a marshy area. He looks PISSED OFF.

A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law.

You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

I just saw the video by former military members of Congress that triggered the head of the regime and provoked his treasonous tweet.
Wow!
Yes!
More and, please, nonstop from this point on.

Another example of ICE's lawlessness. Use 5calls.org to let your rep know about this. We must protect the rule of law and each other.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

This is dangerous & disappointing.

Happy Birthday Andrew 👍

Fury is a great, sad, movie.

All died but one.

A shitton of dead Germans though.

A real President ……….

Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.
