Monkey Face Orchid (Dracula simia), Quito, Ecuador. The flower's unique pattern is formed by its lip, column, and petals, which arrange themselves to look like a monkey's face. The flowers smell similar to a ripe orange #monkey #face #orchid #ecuador #greenhouse #flower #bloomscrolling #nature

If you voted for Trump, you’re racist If you voted for Trump “for his economic policies,” you’re racist and an *idiot*

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “This is a power grab… they’re spitting on the graves of all that work, saying we’re going to allow Black political voices & representation to be dismantled across the South- following marching orders of the White House. We’ve gotta fight back.” @GovBillLee

So langsam sollte jeder wissen, dass wir schon weit über dem raus sind, was gesund ist. Teilt bitte dieses Video und/oder diesen Post. Es ist real und jeder kann sich den Spaß zusammenbasteln. Hand vor das Gesicht funktioniert alles wunderbar. Keine Chance mehr, Fiktion oder Fake zu unterscheiden.

There is a drug for what’s ailing this country.😂 #Rezyne

Ableism--the belief that some bodies are inherently worth more than others, with worth often hinging on your capacity to be independent and productive for the economy--is a key organizing principle of the current administration. They do not see the inherent value of all citizens.

"Americans who embrace Christian nationalism are more likely to agree the situation f/ people w/ disabilities is good as is, disabled people are demanding too much from rest of society, & there have been enough societal efforts in favor of people w/ disabilities. academic.oup.com/socpro/advan...

This administration's commitment to Christian nationalism--privileging a very particular expression of Christianity--is bound up with their ableism and willingness to cut support for disabled Americans. kettering.org/ableism-in-a...

Unfortunately, because he is not dead, the president will take this opportunity to continue lying

He has neither the talent nor the inclination Yet he remains unaccountable And so, every minute of every day, he tears at the foundation that remains Too lazy to build, he can only destroy

Orcas display incredible hunting skills with their wave washing technique, pulling seals off ice floes. A masterclass in teamwork and strategy in the ocean.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together. — Bill Nye

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

I'm convinced the most important artifact of this administration, when all is said and done, will be the Trump family brain cell

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Yes indeed ..the bird understands water displacement

Sky News: While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this. #sheshed

Is he still president? What's wrong with y'all? Candlelight vigil @ 1400 Pennsylvania—make up some bitchin' chants like "build a scaffold, bring a noose, Donald Trump is on the loose." Then, maybe actually start building a scaffold Do it again tomorrow night and so on; It won't be small for long

Are Christian protest events more or less violent? It depends. In this new study, Joel Day finds Christian participation in right-leaning protest events associated with greater violence; but Christian participation in left-leaning events is "overwhelmingly peaceful." doi.org/10.1111/jssr...

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

Releasing ladybugs as natural pest control. 🐞 Ladybugs are exceptionally good for gardens and are considered beneficial insects. They are natural predators that feed on soft-bodied pests like aphids and mites, with a single ladybug capable of consuming up to 5,000 aphids in its lifetime.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors. humans have 3. we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive. the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one. #addOcean

A relatively warm opening week to meteorological spring with temps often 5-8C above average on mainland Europe. The weather behaves 6 weeks ahead. Anomalous positive anomalies are also seen in US & Asia there is a lack of avg weather. Extreme cold also occupies parts of Russia, Canada and Alaska.

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lutnick says he ‘barely had anything to do with’ Epstein amid calls to resign So, they were naked together—that'll suffice

If your food chain doesn't provide the nutrients you need, you die This is why cleaning up pollution is never a bad thing, and why Trump's EPA policy reversals are an existential threat to Americans

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Wild to see a politician who clearly is a normal human being with a soul. How adults act around kids can tell ya a lot about a person.

Her husband is in his second term as president, and she still hasn't put the effort in to learn english. Seems disrespectful
