Diminutive fairy wombat poop. Tiny cubes under 2mm on each side. These are egg sacs made by a spider in the family Theridiosomatidae. They made yesterday’s hike special. Finding something I’ve never seen before is such a thrill. 🌱 #nature #macro #spider

Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #RemembranceSunday🧵 From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

A good time to remember that the closest thing in the US to fully funded single payer healthcare is the healthcare that members of Congress receive.

I went to the Frick on Saturday for the first time since it reopened. Flora Yukhnovich's Four Seasons installation stole the show, but I could stare at this portrait forever. It has captivated me since I was in sixth grade and it was in one of my textbooks.

May a migrating bird shit on Jeanne Shaheen’s head today. May all her pancakes be doughboys.

it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

Why does the House, the larger of the two legislative bodies, not simply eat the Senate

A common ancestor I have with Thomas Pynchon is William Pynchon, who was the Inventor of Springfield in the USA (and also victim of the first book burning here).

I don’t live in NY or NJ. It’s just impossible to go to either of those places and not cross paths with people in the trades that he cheated out of a paycheck, because that is how he does business. That’s his “art of the deal”

Before this, Donald Jagoff Trump needs to pay all the construction workers he stiffed in NY and NJ for the last 50 years. Last I heard he also stiffed the white house demo team

Late autumn foxes carry more folklore than fur. In Celtic tales, a fox seen at dusk was a messenger from the Otherworld, slipping between leaf-fall and frost to deliver warnings only the wise could understand. #FolkloreSunday

During afternoon tea, platters of strawberry cream scones, wedges of yellow cheese studded with hazelnuts and carrot, cranberry tarts with honey, bowls of meadowcream, apple cider, and dandelion'n'rosehip tea were passed around, their delicious aromas tantalizing.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Repost your posts. Brag about your accomplishments. Get yourself treats. Be weird as fuck. Above all, do all these things for those you love too. Life is too short to try not to take up the space you need

A huge fire in my neighborhood happened last night and on our errands this morning they are still filling up fire trucks to put it out. Estimated over 230 people displaced right now. No one was hurt. Third fire in this little area in the last few years. Thinking of all the people affected today

It’s getting more difficult to ignore the moral injury of every day the world’s worst and most incompetent assholes acting like complete shitdicks trying their best to maim thousands of my fellow citizens and also to maim or offend the entire rest of the planet

These friggin pieces of shit aren’t doing this because of the shutdown. They are doing this because they want to starve Americans. Let’s take away their government-funded salary and healthcare for their families. They don’t deserve it.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

In 2023, students at Ohio State blocked the doors to the president's office. Little did they know, live video from campus CCTVs were being fed straight to DHS. It's part of a little-known, decades-long surveillance effort built on the back of college football. www.foiaball.com/p/dhs-colleg...

Science Bluesky, I need a question answered that is not yielding to Google! Can you carbon-14 date an alien? Because I know it requires nitrogen-14 in the upper atmosphere and if the alien homeworld doesn’t have the same nitrogen content…?
