As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Giant tortoises and other key native species are now thriving, and being reintroduced where lost, on the unique Galapágos Islands ecosystems. This is only possible due to the eradication of alien invasives like goats and rats, often a *crucial* part of rewilding. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

I find myself frequently responding to book industry revelations with: One More Reason I Stay Indie. I do it so often it ought to be a meme or a hashtag. #BookSky #WritersCommunity #WritingCommunity #OneMoreReasonIStayIndie

Are you in North America, and want to try growing native plants in your garden, yard, public park, community space, or in containers on a balcony / porch? I've made a beginner's guide! It's long but I wanted to share all the info I have. Please consider trying. featherdust.com/growing-nati...

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

The common bridge troll is a shy and retiring creature driven to the brink of extinction by scarcity of its natural habitat - toll bridges. It makes do by lurking beneath available road bridges and subsisting on the detritus tossed over by passers by.

I should make it clear that the common bridge troll, distinguished by living under bridges, is *not* related to molestus trollus interretialis - the pestiferous internet troll. This is a case of convergent evolution of two entirely different species.

No. Stop it, Alex. It's time to get off social media and do something useful with your day.

I've put off reading EARTHSEA for far too long. Two chapters in and I'm already loving Le Guin's writing. Why did I wait so long?

'Boscombe Dawn' A night in the van at Boscombe Beach back in November2025. Planning tide times was inportant to ensure swirling movement in and around the rocks and leading lines really gave the foreground interest. A sunrise that didn’t disappoint.

Belly dance folks? When is a good time to adopt a dance name? I am only intermediate level but I am doing a solo in April and the form asked for my dance name. I have one in mind, but is it too soon? Do I have to earn it somehow? #bellydance

We want social media to be a perfect substitute for going out and socializing but the truth is that not only can't it do this, but it is explicitly designed not to do this, AND to be so addictive that people abandon the real thing in order to punch the post-button constantly.

I run Linux Mint on both my PC and laptop, and the user experience is almost indistinguishable from Windows 97 except for fewer bugs. Can recommend.

Mango. They get so much good press but they're only like an orange, but bad.

The SAVE Act won’t pass. But it’s part of a broader vote suppression strategy—DHS threats, ICE intimidation, ballot fights—all aimed at November.

The trouble with newly signing up to BSky is 'select your interests.' Sir, none of my interests are on that list. Where do I find my morris dancers? My belly dancers? Fanfic writers? I've followed so many and I've barely found my people yet.

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me” “There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen” These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies. Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear

Well, I can do reposting, but I am not good with this whole 'speaking your thoughts out loud' thing that is required to actually post on social media. Let's see how long I manage to be active this time. I give it three months (max.)

Was down in Lancs a few days, so headed over to Lunt Meadows in SW Lancs hoping to see barn owls as I've only once photographed one in the distance. Two were flying by the end of a grey afternoon. Not close enough for frame filling shots but several were ok after quite big crops 😃 #UKwildlife #birds

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.
