america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

Making little things

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Don't you think that the media needs to play more of these Trump recordings(admissions) of sexual abuse? They're not, but we can. Save & share them. I'll post links to the easily downloadable TikTok videos so you can share them across platforms in the post below. #ReleaseTheFiles

This song might make you feel something other than rage and betrayal.

new transmission from neil young, whose incandescent rage is apparently now beyond words.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

You mean *about* opioids?

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

Just a man watering a chestnut tree in Kyiv today. You might think: And what? I might answer: Life.

Conservation question and object history. RTs welcome. These cotton squares with preprinted patterns were sold with red thread at the logging camp store in northern MN c. 1912. My great grandfather was a child laborer and purchased them and red thread the only color available… 1/

Apparently it’s World Embroidery Day so maybe you’ll enjoy this aerial landscape I made of my beloved childhood haunt - the White Horse of Uffington. An @nationaltrust.org.uk site from the later Bronze Age or Early Iron Age. Find out more here www.oxfordarchaeology.com/uffington-wh...

The best corner in the place.

A cool and good thing that happened:

Wild that right-wing families somehow aren’t to blame for their longstanding and systematic snubbing of queer and lefty children.

Wow. Thanks for posting this @rbreich.bsky.social

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid. I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

This guy is fantastic. Take a listen.

Summer 'do and a missing tooth, too. We

RIP to Bill Moyers, about whom there is so much to say, but let's start with: what an interviewer. His sit-down with Maurice Sendak gives such a clear sense of who Sendak is & the way they immediately engage on big ideas is fantastic. vimeo.com/33284145

Bill Moyers was one of the only sane perspectives to be found in the media in the years following 9/11. He helped me survive the Bush years with his compassionate take on things. He seemed like a solid guy who deeply cared about people and their stories and what else is there for us, really?

Today is the #SummerSolstice The longest day - and it’s a Saturday 😊 Artist: David Palmer

Oh, to be six years old with a four legged pal.

@onusbone.bsky.social I don't know which one did it, but it's a lil spooky IYKYK

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

It's weird that people characterize the play to be about the doomed June Rebellion and not explicitly about how an act of kindness and forgiveness changes a man's entire life and he spends the rest of his life trying to atone, and even if he really helps only two people it's seen as worthy.

We feed you. They hunt us.

This is what patriotism looks like - marching toward the Capitol with pride, purpose, and the promise of liberty for all.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

I often get asked to help with bird ID problems when the answer is: it's a female of a common species! Here's a poster celebrating the often-overlooked intricacies of female bird plumage. During June, proceeds from my shop sales go to @instbirdpop.bsky.social topatoco.com/collections/...

The trump regime’s cruelty churns like a 24/7 sweat shop. It’s madness.

Bring back sweaty ugly freaky actors in movies

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

I've never heard a bog witch say "why isn't there a bog witch pride month" and that's just one of the many ways that bog witches are superior to straight men
