I saw an elderly woman with a walker out patrolling with a whistle the other day in 3 degrees. They dramatically underestimated Minneapolis.

Well at least @musicologyduck.bsky.social is okay I think we all needed a win

I've always liked the 'Bridled' form of Guillemot, but to get a photo of 2 together on Inner Farne in 2019 was special!. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Covering half timbered houses with straw insulation was common once in the Eifel Region in Germany. To do this, 20 cm stalks are glued on the wall with clay. All it requires is some patience because the materials are basically free. Funny that this is going viral now. youtu.be/afix6HfLwvk?...

Never forget, their normal was our subjugation and oppression.

This is the story of the day. Share it. We are all being called to be our highest selves. The cavalier treatment of the Nobel Prize is a disgrace. It represents another way to destroy and defile that which should be precious and revered. We can all make choices to be better.

The opinion is about a technical question — the core issue of whether Mahmoud's free speech rights were violated hasn't yet been decided by a court. Dissent can't be grounds for detention or deportation, and we'll keep fighting to uphold that core principle.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

and they're trying to make Hamnet the villain...

From Sesame Street

Time to bring this out again. A 12-year-old recognized this 6 months ago, and it’s only gotten worse.

When things feel pointless, remember the small things that make a difference in your life, then do them for yourself and others. A high protein meal. A big glass of water. Taking meds. A compliment or word of thanks. A long walk outside. I see how hard you're trying. Little things still matter.

After the success of our #Amsterdam tours, we’re happy to announce the introduction of new #Ghent City Bicycle Tours in Belgium 🇧🇪🚲, starting in #March 2026! 🚲 Ride the city 📊 Learn about transformations 👀 Witness the change firsthand Book here: urbancyclinginstitute.org/bike-tour/

I get to start my new PT regimen today and I am so excited It includes aqua therapy which is why I am excited I can almost feel the change coming

Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators: "The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President." www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇 1/x

"Studies from all over the world have shown crop yields increase when food crops are partially shaded with solar panels. #Agrivoltaic yield increases are possible because of the microclimate created underneath the solar panels that conserves water" #Solar #climatesky

This is a big deal.

Back from my new PT- I changed up all the help- I am leading with my left foot and strengthening the ankle The pain cannot return- I am committed to keeping it at bay and I have to remind myself that I am now going to be in pain as a temporary sensation, not a malady or a life sentance

Wish that members of this lunatic administration had the same energy about "complying with law enforcement " when it came to the insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol and assaulted law me and my coworkers. The mental gymnastics these clowns do is exhausting. Renee Nicole Good was murdered

If you're looking for an accurate timeline of events from Jan. 6, backed by copious amounts of video and courtroom evidence, have I got a website for you! apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

JACK SMITH: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retained classified docs, obstructed justice… I’d charge an ex president again regardless of party.”

We have recent documentation that DJT - without a doubt- led an insurrection Thank you @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social Jack Smith record

Jan 6, 2021- Was it an insurrection? Yes, it was. Be a citizen and read this amicus brief (not as scary as it sounds) you will be more informed of our history and law as a result, and better able to communicate facts v opinions @unlawfulentries.bsky.social thread

I will choose one action today that is globally focused I will then focus on keeping my own house in order My sobriety, not my anger, is the most important part of my day One action then I have to give it to God, who clearly has his work cut out for him

Thoughts on Kindness 💭

I feel like it’s worth pointing out that she would also not be the president of Venezuela today

If you work with high school students in NYC, I hope that you will bring them to the Black Zine Fair on May 9. We would love to have them.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

The first sunrise of 2026 hitting the atmosphere.🌍✨ We really live on a floating masterpiece. Happy New Year, Earth.

19: Plant a tree in your front yard, and fight for street trees on your street, in your neighborhood, and across your city. There are literally dozens of ways they make life better on streets and in cities. It’s one of the best investments a city can make.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

current #WIP - “Safe” (pencil on paper, in my sketchbook)

2025 I kept my sobriety; and worked on boundaries I visited Rome, A nearby lake I love, and an Island where I hope to live one day I received, and am in recovery from, three life changing surgeries I can walk without pain or drugs, I am not depleted by a malfunctioning organ I am cancer free

This past year was medical- accept and move into This school year is "stamina" And this New Years is wholesome discipline As in- "Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle on yourself" I am grateful, I am hopeful and I am living this day, just this one

I believe realistic, sustainable trauma recovery is built on daily mircro choices & micro joys. Big choices can be overwhelming, & major rushes of joy can be hard to come by w/ our conditioning. Just focus on the teeniest, tiniest increments of autonomy & pleasure possible today.

" #Gratitude is the greatest form of perspective on my life." Thanks, #AlcoholicsAnonymous.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Dear listeners, When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song. Not as escape — as evidence. Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds. If hope is hiding, it often hums first.

this is good and should be at a million views by new years eve. watch and boost it, folks. tag your friends, neighbors, and legislators

Good morning! Let’s start the day by honoring Walt Dowdle, a quiet giant of CDC leadership. A quick thread on the 5 principles he articulated that became CDC's Pledge to the American People 🧵👇 Read full article from @drtomfrieden.bsky.social linked here:

Bright colored buildings make Burano a stand-out site to visit around Venice. Legend has it that the fishermen painted their homes boldly so they were easy to find through fog and sea mist. #reflection #photos #photography #buildings #italy #burano #streetphotography #Bright #BlueskyArtShow
