A photo of a mother sloth bear with two babies clinging to her back. The bears are black in color. The mother has fluffy fur which is longest at her ears and neck. They have light colored snouts.

Did you know? When the sloth bear goes after termites, a key food source, its fluffy hair helps to prevent bites. And, when chowing down, this species is able to completely close its nostrils to avoid unwanted visitors from entering!

Maine governor tells Trump ‘see you in court’ amid faceoff over trans athletes Trump threatened to withhold federal education funding if Maine does not comply with his executive order and bar transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports.

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President.

Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership.

a black pittie with a greying snoot sits on a street. he's wearing a blond, curly, shake and go wig. he looks off past the camera with an expression that indicates he has complete confidence in his disguise.

Bear the pittie is facing away from the camera, his entire head consumed by the blond wig. he stands next to two happy goldens who don't even notice anything strange.

Bear stands in the middle of a street next to a majestic golden retriever draped in a regency era cape. the golden is none the wiser to Bear's ruse, nor do any of the five people standing around on the street.

This is Bear. He disguised himself and snuck into a golden retriever gathering. Safe to say no one suspected a thing. 13/10

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Schoolhouse Rock is going to have to remake its cartoon on how a bill becomes a law.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

a long-haired, blond, snaggletoothed dachshund sits (or stands? it’s hard to say with doxies) on a front porch. she’s looking up, her long ears draping down the sides of her neck, and her mouth is a little diagonal slash, a perfect smirk that curls up on the right side of her face. her big black eyes are innocent, obviously.

This is Bella. She's a world-class jewel thief. Has just pulled off the most incredible heist, and she's smirking because no one suspects a thing. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

No one ever talks about the manic pixie dream girl to kooky aunt pipeline

It’s so hard watching the kindest person you know become unable to develop their own sense of direction and lack of clarity. I’m watching them be snowed left and right by those who are very aware how impressionable they are. I’ve tried to make this horse of hers drink, but they’ve always refused.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

I tend to have pretty good timing. For example, I started getting therapy like four weeks ago.

We can't do this for four years. It has only been nine days. For the sake of all of us, even the morons who put them in office, the current administration has to go.

Taking a chemistry lab again since last year and the cogs most certainly weren’t churning, literally grabbed the wrong measured pipette three different times and now I’m expected to do conversions and plot the data. I can feel my brain swelling against its case.

a photo taken through a glass door into a store. there are several stickers on the glass, including a big round one depicting a dachshund’s silhouette behind a big international “No” sign, a red circle with a diagonal cross through it. just inside the store, a little black dachshund is sitting perfectly still on the tile, oriented exactly the same way as the dog on the sticker and directly underneath it. he’s a rebel, and you can’t tell him what to do.

This is Aldo. He is a good boy. But also... a bad boy. 13/10

This is Fudge. She may not be the sharpest pup in the world, but more importantly, she is not a quitter. 13/10

I love when people say stuff like "the biopic about this administration is going to be SCATHING" brother at this rate the biopic is going to be called "The Great Patriot: Rise Of A Ruler" and they'll make our kids watch it in school

In the Face of Climate Change, We Must Act So That We Can Feel Hopeful—Not the Other Way Around Some of the impacts of climate change are already here today. But the worst can still be avoided. Our future is in our hands.

The world has changed before and, when it did, it wasn’t because a president, a prime minister, a CEO or a celebrity decided it had to.

It began when ordinary people – people of no particular power, wealth, or fame – decided that the world could and should be different.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

You can't call yourself INDUSTRIAL either and be a bigot!

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Mentally I’m at the American Museum of Natural History enthralled by the marsupials’ epipubic bone and its evolutionary resistance.

We’re sending a team of firefighters from DNR to support wildfire response efforts in California.
 
I'm proud of these emergency responders who are stepping up to provide critical support — they're heroes who are protecting communities and saving lives.

This is how I post

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
