#BirdOfTheDay #Reflections This bluebird was attacking himself in the side mirror on my car. It was spring; they go a little crazy in the spring. 😊 I took pics, then gently chased it away. He wasn't hurt from his "battle." #Birds #bluebirds #naturephotography #ECK

Alena Analeigh Wicker graduated high school at 12. By 13, she had become the youngest Black person ever accepted to medical school and the youngest person of any race to achieve that distinction. Her goal is to help find cures for viruses that still have no cure. Imagine what’s next. #SheShed

⚡️ Russian monthly territorial gains slip into negative for first time since 2023, DeepState reports. This is despite the group's public map showing a Russian advance of 14 square kilometers in May, due to the delay in publicly acknowledging advances by the Ukrainian military amid security concerns.

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

Someone else who dropped out of the White House concert.

I paid $158 for cat food and litter today at Petsmart. This is for two weeks of supplies for four cats. It isn’t for top shelf, either. Luckily my cats prefer lower priced kitty junk food or I’d have to remortgage the house. Having pets is getting terrifyingly expensive.

Here is a very very very small frog I found.

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

If the cat brings in a (dead) mouse I put it on the windowsill for the crows to take away. Lately I've had to do it so often that as soon as I opened the window I heard excited shouting, and the mouse was gone in under a minute.

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky

It seems like this good boy was missing his little cat friend.

Horse trust

Horses have three sleeping positions- standing, lying with their legs under them, and prone like this guy. Each allows progressively deeper sleep. Often, another horse (or person) will watch when prone. Horses can suffer from sleep deprivation too!

Ukrainian drones destroyed two Tu-142 aircraft and an Iskander missile in Taganrog, as reported by UNIAN. The drone strike marks a significant operational shift, raising alarms among Russian military leaders as fears grow over vulnerabilities. 1/4

I remember when the internet was a place for watching cat videos instead of observing the real-time collapse of western civilization.
