i never posted it here but i got a new tattoo last week!!!

#NotAOneHitWonder Today we lost Steve Cropper (1941 ~ 2025), the quiet giant behind the sound of Memphis soul. From the Mar-Keys & Booker T. & The M.G.’s to his years as writer, producer, and A&R at Stax, he helped carry that Memphis sound Worldwide. #SteveCropper #OneHitWondered

Look! Here they are! Baby beavers!!

They got married! 💍 Oliver North, a Marine lieutenant colonel working for the National Security Council, & his secretary, Fawn Hall, shredded documents in an attempt to cover up what became known as the Iran-Contra affair. North, 81, and Hall, 65, married last month in Virginia.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

🚨Feeding the hungry and using freedom of speech after 6pm is an ARRESTABLE offense in Florida? There is a long line of people waiting for food and this man arrests a volunteer? The indefensible side of history, captured.

For #WaterWednesday here's the Escalante River and Stevens Arch, with my hiking partner helpfully providing a sense of scale. #hiking #backpacking #landscapes

Great news everyone, I did get to give this talk today! And if presented with the opportunity, I will absolutely give it again.

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer. Vaccinating at birth has reduced this by 99%

Stuff like this require a permit from the Feds IIRC. Canada should not be in the business of war machines to begin with but this makes us even more complicit, in the American war on non-white people, than we already are.

The bear that moved into a home’s crawlspace more than a week ago in Altadena is not budging: despite numerous attempts by the homeowners to keep him out, the animal is staying put.

Today I learned that Senile Satan controls hurricanes, and not just with a sharpie. Kristi Noem: “You made it through the hurricane season without a hurricane. You kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that.”

I wish you all the day you want and need 🩵✌️ #nature #sunlight #forest

For #RockinTuesday here's some tilted, faulted, eroded, and generally messed-up* sandstone along the edge of the East Kaibab Monocline near Kanab, UT. *"Generally messed-up" is a perfectly good geological term.😉

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

Two 7,000-year-old mummified women from a rock shelter in southern Libya, discovered with strange DNA profiles, are pushing scientists to rethink how ancient North Africa was populated.

A shelter received a donation of stuffed toys and let each dog pick 1. How selfless. They each only pick 1.

Sadly relevant today.

I never noticed this old tree stump in the woods until the other day. But that's how it is here. Even after getting on for 17 years living with a wild rainforest ecosystem, I still frequently make new discoveries. And I suspect it will always be so, for the rest of my days.

"Justice," she said. " I've heard that word. It's a cold world. I tried it out," she said, still speaking in that low voice. "I wrote it down. I wrote it down several times and always it looked like a damn cold lie to me. There is no justice." Jean Rhys - Wide Sargasso Sea

I just published the deepest thing I’ve ever written on the Epstein files...and it explains EXACTLY why they will never fully come out. Not in your lifetime. Maybe never. 👇 NO paywall. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Offline, I've been asked why the Dark Ages isn't an appropriate term for the Early Medieval period. Bottom line, you'd be hard pressed to make something as stunning as the Alfred Jewel if you couldn't see what you were doing. End of. www.ashmolean.org/alfred-jewel

WINTER IS COMING

if you’re cold they’re cold let your demons in

Why would anyone want to do that?

I was with the giants yesterday. They were kind and peaceful. There’s nothing more humbling than mingling with thousand year old beings. I hope you all have the day you want and need 🩵✌️ #trees #redwoodtrees #hiking #home #nature #forest

The Chinle Formation is unmistakable. In other areas - near Capitol Reef, for example - it contains quantities of petrified wood. I've seen entire petrified logs in that region. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday! #OrangeSun #ColorADay #Stunday #hiking

Over twenty years ago when I could move within a wheelchair, I stepped out to do a morning market to sell my photos and saw this. I grabbed my film camera and took this photo. From another life . #Dartmoor #Devon #landscape #photography #sunrise

Veterinarians/techs! All four of my cats have a cold. Fever, sneezes, dehydrated. I put them in a steamy room to break up their congestion so they would be able to smell again and drink water, but that did't help. Is there such a thing as safe, over the counter kitty decongestant? 1/
