Holy cow. I got a Wilson's snipe in flight! They are so shy, and I didn't even see it until it took flight. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to tell everyone to go fuck themselves and I rescued a cat who wants the same thing

The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether Colorado can exclude Catholic preschools from the state’s universal pre-K program because they won’t agree to accept children with same-sex parents.

Hehe, bumblebutt! 🥰

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a Monday Photo Meditation for one of the rare phenomena of spring here, for those moments when morning fog wraps a wind-battered world in a gentle but powerful light: wingssilverwork.com/monday-photo....

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

A looming storm is forecast to drop more than 2 feet of snow in parts of the Sierra, prompting the weather service to issue winter storm warnings. It’s the second round of winter storm warnings this month in the Sierra, a rarity for April. Snow drought won't be wiped out, but this will help some.

I FINALLY got a decent shot of a male Eastern #Bluebird. The lighting was marvelous — it electrified this bird’s brilliant iridescent blue plumage. This fellow was kind enough to pose for a number of photos. I can’t thank him enough 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Turdidae #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

I’m genuinely impressed by how Trump keeps finding new ways to make each day worse than the last.

I don’t think Zionists saying Graham Platner “praised Hamas” is going to have the effect they intend it to.

Everybody move! Resident with the first incoming CA Latino governor since 1894 coming though!! 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️ #VoteForBecerra

Let's do this, California! Keep it going. It's time for our #BecerraEra

Who else agrees Biden was—without a doubt—a better president than Trump could ever be? #VoteYesVirginia

Tom Steyer stole campaign data from Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders stole campaign data from HRC. So the Our Revolution endorsement of Tom Steyer definitely tracks.

Several people with signs like this at the Boston Marathon today

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

If you can help, either by paying it out of your own pocket or by collecting the funds from other people and then paying it, DM or e-mail me at NDNSilverByWings [at] gmail [dot] com. I'll give you motel name and number, the dad's name, etc.

For a 31-day month, that's $1,240. Maybe +tax; I don't know. At any rate, they mean ONE PERSON calling them up and paying the whole amount at once via credit card, to keep this little family housed for the next month. IOW, 31 people cannot call and pay $40 each. It has to be a lump sum.

This motel regularly works with folks we need to house short-term, like a few days. This is . . . indefinite. They've told him that if he can pay for a month in advance, they'll lower the rate to $40 a night [that is, I think, almost 50% off].

It's a single dad with a 10-y/o daughter and their cat. They lost their housing. They've been staying at a local motel with a decent rate, but that runs out in a day or two. They have no income currently, and he's trying to remedy that, but . . . ::gestures at world on fire::.

::Sigh:: okay, I have another local urgent need that has everyone stymied, because it's just too much for one person. FIRST OFF: I CANNOT collect funds as pass-through on this, period. Do NOT send any monies to me.

DONALD TRUMP’S ‘BOARD OF PEACE’ HELD TALKS WITH DP WORLD OVER GAZA RECONSTRUCTION- FT

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.

While I appreciate this man's dedication to reading ...

Also, what a beautiful outfit. 🙏

Menswear writer here. 👋 Let me tell you why you shouldn't wear an armband like that. 🧵

I saw someone baking bread on my timeline and I thought “wtf i could do that” so anyway this is the first successful bread i’ve ever made!!!

Holy Trinity, Sutton Coldfield, a jewel box

Extraordinary companions to the pulpit at Trowse Church, Norfolk

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

🚨🚨🚨 🇷🇺 Russia’s Black Sea Fleet takes another hit Overnight on April 17 - 18, 🇺🇦 Ukrainian drone strikes in Crimea reportedly damaged : - Large landing ships YAMAL and AZOV - At least one additional warship - Critical military infrastructure (radar, communications, fuel depots)

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery. We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

“Inside one of the mummies, the team discovered a rare papyrus containing a passage from Book II of the Iliad by Homer. The text includes part of the “Catalogue of Ships,” which lists Greek forces involved in the campaign against Troy.” greekreporter.com/2026/04/19/h...

Church door, St. Mary's Cable Street E1 Got me wondering why so many Church doors throughout Europe are painted red. There's no settled answer... ameganfindsartinphilly.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/w...

💥💥BOOM Two more russian ships just learned what “welcome to Sevastopol” really means. Ukrainian GUR hit: — Large landing ship Yamal (Project 775) — Large landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov (Project 1171) Both - part of the russian Black Sea Fleet. Both - damaged right in Sevastopol Bay.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Unvarnished gutter racism akin to what you'd hear out of the mouth of eugenicist Social Darwinists in the early 20th century.

DONALD TRUMP’S ‘BOARD OF PEACE’ HELD TALKS WITH DP WORLD OVER GAZA RECONSTRUCTION- FT

stupid Trump tweet for many reasons but one of which is that Spain had higher GDP growth than the US over the last year (3% vs 2%)

Several executive orders this evening invoking the Defense Production Act so Trump can directly financially support US oil/gas/petroleum/coal production, which is a great signal about how poorly this war is going economically and how little they planned for this www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Just passed a guy at a busy intersection with w deranged look on his face, a US flag, & a sandwich board sign that said “zionists out of the US government.”

The law firm Kash Patel hired for his defamation suit was a major player in the landmark People vs. Foster Brooks case, so he’s not fucking around.

#$ZION report today showed a $7mm reserve *release* and NPL ratio falling to 45.5 bps of gross loans, lowest since Q2 '24. RIP last fall's regional bank crisis.

Missed a couple headlines while buried in Excel but #$AAPL has swapped CEOs *APPLE NAMES JOHN TERNUS AS CEO *APPLE NAMES TIM COOK EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN and #$AMZN investing $5bn in Anthropic, $20bn more "in future". *ANTHROPIC TO SPEND OVER $100B OVER NEXT TEN YEARS ON AWS TECH

there is literally one proven policy to reduce traffic congestion long-term. it’s congestion pricing. and Trump just spent a whole year trying to illegally scrap it in New York City
