Hours with no air traffic controllers. Staffing shortages. Flight delays. Health care costs going through the roof. Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Remember when we had air traffic controllers?

On the lakefront the cormorants are often far out over the water, skimming along the surface, but at Riis Park yesterday, one was hanging out with the geese at the edge of the pond. 😍 #birds

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY. 😍 Lifer! I didn't get a pic of the first one I saw, but I was confident of the ID, and then this gorgeous creature just *posed* for me. Nelson's Sparrow might be my favorite sparrow now. #birds

Ma'am. You have a little something... 🤭 #birds

So let me get this straight…the shutdown is the Democrats fault for trying to save healthcare for Americans and legal immigrants, but the Republicans will gladly not pay and fire federal workers, ending their healthcare and increasing unemployment. Right….🙄🙄 www.axios.com/2025/10/07/t...

Anybody else catch that one short statement about "old people shouldn't be on SSD"? No? Just ME? I know what I heard. I've been saying this was the "plan" since P2025 dropped. But, NOoooo 🙄. "Oh, Jana... you're wrong. That'll never happen." Oh yeah? What about now? Am I wrong still?

I've been overreacting, huh? Really? Have I? 19 months is all I need to switch from SSDI to SSI. But, they want to fool with that, too! By raising the retirement age to 70. Piss on everyone who doubted me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I’m truly happy for Puerto Rico. They continue to go through so much. They deserve to be in the spotlight for something good. 🇵🇷 😁

A 2 cm long baby garibaldi fish (Hypsypops rubicundus) in a large tidepool. This is the world's largest damselfish, and like more tropical damsels, the babies are adorned with a constellation of bluish, highly reflective spots! Also, there's a damn rainbow in there too. 🦑🦀

Scientists have developed a scalable “holdfast-graft” method to reseed Tasmania’s lost giant kelp forests. By binding hatchery kelp to other seaweed stubs, divers achieved 40× higher survival. Within a year, the grafted kelp began reproducing—kick-starting self-sustaining forests. #GreatSouthernReef
