rufous hummingbirds are known for migrating thousands of miles every year, from mexico all the way to alaska! #birds #birdart #printmaking #rufoushummingbird

This. This. This. For all the people who said "I'm not against immigration if they do it the Right Way." For all the people who think this is about immigration at all. (It's not.)

I took this picture in full context because, even with most pictures of the Stone of Hope, we often see the erasure of the Mountain of Despair from which it comes.

“But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.” -Dr. Martin Luther King

This.

One to add to your list. Specifically focused on moving away from Big Tech @purchase-w-purpose.bsky.social (for guides) and purchasewithpurpose.io (for list of alternatives) It is really useful for people starting this journey!

Things I'll be looking into... #deletespotify #tryqobuz

Gotta make that quota and keep bodies in the private prisons that get paid by headcount. #comebackwithawarrant

Georgia thought you might need to see something good amongst the hellscape news, so here she is. #georgygirl

Subclave K is not f'ing around - all I got for Xmas was six days with a fever, another four days of being completely gassed, and I'm still congested and not at full speed.

This, y'all. Our elections are already suspiciously influenced and our candidates beholden to megadonors. We don't need more.

The PGH Post-Gazette might be folding, so more important than ever to support local, independent news sources such as Pittsburgh Public Source and WESA. #localnews

Here's Madge being pretty today. You probably need a palate cleanser. I know I do.

For generations, Gullah-Geechee families have lived, worked and built community on Sapelo Island, Georgia. Now, they are facing a massive property tax increase that threatens to push them off their ancestral land, erase their culture and open the door to massive development. https://bit.ly/4rWzXL9

USDA plans to give Palantir a no-bid contract for AI "data integration" for the National Farm Security Action Plan which notably highlights SNAP 'fraud.' So Palantir AI will ingest "key user data previously submitted by applicants" to "conduct security checks." It'll cost up to $300 million.

Where you spend your money matters.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Say it with me and Wayne, 10,000 times! #deletespotify #qobuz

More of this, please.

Make the switch away from Spotify and get Qobuz. It's easy af and music sounds better without ICE ads, shitty artist payments, and war profiteering. And the sound quality is so much higher, too! They will duplicate your playlists/favorites and it only takes a few minutes. #qobuz #deletespotify

I hate AI so fucking much I can't even. So. Fucking. Much. @chimebank.bsky.social <-- especially yours

GREAT BIG BEE, little teeny bee! New York Ironweed #killyourlawn #nativeplants

Came for the Joe Pye Weed, stayed for the liatris (and milkweed). #killyourlawn #nativeplants #theonlygoodmonarch

My first ever Hummingbird Moth in real life. In my yard! Kill your lawn, plant native plants!! #nativeplants #phlox

This.

The problem with America isn’t the rich taking advantage of the poor, it’s the poor being OK with that.

Was gonna shake the exoskeleton off the collard leaf, then I found the end product resting up. Rare moment of a visible and still cicada. As helpless flying globs of protein, they are usually heard but not seen. Love these weirdos. #uglybug #cicada

It's time to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks.

A bouquet for Bettye. #bettyebunnette #growfood #herbalicious

Happy exoskeleton season to all who celebrate! #uglybug #yinzershizz

1/2 SEATTLE folks - my ma's neighbor is fostering this little nugget and she is looking for her forever home. She is under 10 pounds, food motivated, smart, and super trainable. #cutelittledoggo #adoptme

PIT -> SEA - fast and furious.

Because vegetables for seniors programs are overwrought with waste and fraud. /s

Daily civic duty completed. #smashitup #whatac*&t

1/3 - THIS is where my head has been and **why** for the last several weeks. @amandaforpgh.bsky.social

Pittsburgh votin' today. N'at.

Bribery, threats, corruption from our current administration. Must be a day that ends in 'y'.

The fact the that O'Connor had the gall to even start a campaign against a one-term mayor, let alone how he's run it, is appalling. No racist, fake Progressive, developer-lovin', DINO nepo babies for me, thank you very much. #keeppittsburghhome

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

AI is garbage. Stop using it!!!

Not. Cool. Also, how does any cop have the absolute gall to ask for a selfie with a performer in the safe space they just obliterated while making patrons wait in the rain? That's some bullshit.

It was always the Lost Saucer for me. Thank you, Ruth Buzzi, for all the funny you gave us. 💚

This is absolutely heartbreaking. RIP, Jill. 🖤 www.facebook.com/100063631747...
