These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

No animal alive today is ‘primitive’ – why are so many still labeled that way? All species alive today, from chimpanzees to bacteria, are cousins that each have equally long lineages, rather than ancestors or descendants of one another.

The idea that humans sit atop an evolutionary hierarchy dates back to 1866, when a scientist drew the first tree of life with "Man" at the top. This inaccurate view still shapes how we think of the animal world, despite decades of genomic evidence proving evolution has no hierarchy.

If you don’t have a dog, what do you do with the blueberries that are too squishy to eat?

Sunset over the ocean. The water is dark and there is a dark marine layer on the horizon line. Above the clouds are reflecting the reds and oranges of the sunset with a tiny bit of blue sky peeking through.

‘Workers get the thorns’: the moral ugliness of rose factories | Rebecca Solnit A rose is beautiful but a greenhouse with thousands upon thousands of roses, a place producing millions a year, is not

Most of the roses for sale in the US are raised in hideous labor and environmental conditions in Colombia and Ecuador before they're loaded onto 747s to fly here. I know because I visited one of the rose plantations/sweatshops for my book Orwell's Roses. Give your love a book or something.

Hi!! 💜💜💜

Hornby Island, Ucluelet, Tofino trip Feb 7/8, 2026 - Crystal Tomusiak I am relatively new to this hobby. I find nature healing and want to share what I capture with others

Yep, he sees himself as a hall monitor and takes the role very seriously!

It’s good to see you too. 💜I’m not on here much and rarely open the app but I’m glad we connected

My dog Walter has a rule that my other dog Smoke is never under any circumstances allowed to have fun (e.g., chase a ball even though Walter doesn’t want the ball—fun isn’t permitted). Walter thinks this is very fair

Sounds like an excellent mantra 💕
