Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

Logs onto BlueSky, sees Robert Redford died. Decides to take the rest of the day off and binge his movies. 😭 He was the most beautiful man, in all ways… handsome, smart, kind, talented, funny, and charming. There will never be another Robert Redford. Rest is peace, Prince Charming. 💫

Last year, 63% of executives at companies that filed IPOs were men. This year, it's jumped to 86% as companies pull back on DEI. Yet women are the majority (51%) of the U.S. population.

Induction stoves are quieter, cooler, and produce less toxic pollution than gas. On the other hand, they also cook better, as a growing number of professional chefs recognize.

Good evening to be in a hammock. #photography #clouds #nature #PNW #Washington #skies

I love this peony. It’s showy in the summer with big, ruby red blooms, and as it begins its fall dormancy the branches and leaves turn dark red. By the time that happens, the trailing lobelia bursts through lower branches! #gardening #BloomScrolling #flowers #peonies #photography #Washington #PNW

Coupeville, #Washington on Whidbey Island. I sat on the pier imagining what I’d do with the worn, old structure on the far left. Looks like it has been through some history. #travel #photography #seatown #PNW #summer #historicplaces #oysters

Namibia's east winds often turn its coastal dunes into an unnavigable inferno. We went straight in! Blowing sand stung our feet, pelted our equipment, filled our eyes. But time stood still: We were immersed in a world of astonishing beauty, gone too soon.⁠ #photography #bluesky #nature #travel

Friction is the place where beauty gets born. Between the wound that won’t close and the love that keeps rising. A spark, a flame, a surge of creative fire. #sunset #sky #photography #inspire #mindfulness #nature #clouds #landscape #sunrise #photographer #colorado #health

Hi from Greenland everyone ✌️! I’m a bit busy guiding our red sails tours here these days so I don’t post much, but I thought I’d share a little glimpse from yesterday night sailing ⛵️🧊. That’s shot around 12pm…

This little Anna’s Hummingbird landed very near me in the garden. You can vaguely make out the crossbars of the bean trellis which has red blossoms it seems to be guarding. (View large to admire this excellent little fluff!) 📷🪶🌿 OM-1 Mark II 90 mm macro lens

Blue on Blue…

Tens of thousands of cornflowers in a field in Wicken. Research shows that the sight of them will help you recover from sources of stress more quickly & boost dopamine release in your brain, lifting your mood…in case you need it just now:

Good night all hope you sleep well.

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. -J. B. Priestley Happy new week folks, opportunity and wonders await. #Nature #Bluesky #Naturephotography #Photography
