I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky

Somehow I have managed to make my feed almost all amazing photographs (especially of nature, birds, and other creatures) and nice people being smart, kind, and/or funny. When I'm really lucky, I get to hang out with the nerdy weirdos. I like this Bluesky place.

You may need a thing about now that isn’t awful. Here. Have a porcupine in a tree that I spotted near the St Lawrence River. I talked to them for a while and told them they were cool. I hope they got the vibe.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

There is an event you don't want to go to but feel obligated to show up for because <insert issue from therapy>. Do you: 1. Decide to skip the guilt, go, and have fun. 2. Go and suffer adequately to feel good about going. 3. Lol. Don't go.

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight. 1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms" 2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral 3) How tools are productized is not neutral [rant]

set your clocks back again, we fucked up

For international women's day, an abbreviated timeline of women's rights:

hey internet, do your thing. i'm looking to chat with a PNW based bird expert who knows things about crows. i have a crow connundrum and i need advice.

Happy International Women's Day to all my sisters who have completely had it with this bullshit.

What's your sign?

There's a sea creature whose common name is the pikachu nudibranch and I need everyone to see it immediately.

There's so much bad news out there I'm so glad there's good baby bird news. 🪶 🐣

Was privileged to see a competition pod of humpback whales yesterday. They were super aggressive and we saw one ride on top of another consistently for about 20 minutes. Amazing. Hope they're all okay. #whales #humpbacks #nature #Maui #marinelife #photography #ocean #mammals #wrestling

Excuse me, but you must see the adorable felted wool sea slugs.

Probably not going to get the traction it deserves but it’s insane 1. Stephen Miller is giving dod press conferences and 2. explicitly saying the us policy towards the irgc will be war crimes

The first signs of burnout are coming from the people who embrace AI the most techcrunch.com/2026/02/09/t...

For my academic friends.

You know it's bad when their problems arise faster than they can lower their standards.

As if things weren't bad enough, we lose an hour of our weekend because of daylight savings time.

Watching a country hit bottom is exhausting. I wasn't prepared for the grief.

I'm glad BSKY was down for a while, it allowed me to do some editing! I'm running on two hours of sleep and fading fast but wanted to finish this up. #LunarEclipse #Totality #MoonPhotography #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Photography #SantaBarbara #BloodMoon
