🫏🌍 #WorldDonkeyDay

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the donkeys, for today is their special day! To celebrate World Donkey Day, here is an illustration from the book 'Animated Nature' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. 📷 Reserve 590 BUF #WorldDonkeyDay #DonkeyDay #RareBooks

Hurrah for Friday and #worlddonkeyday. This donkey (ms B.11.27) is very pleased to be taking a break from studying for exams to play music and dance. mss-cat.trin.cam.ac.uk/Manuscript/B...

Happy World Donkey Day! 🫏

In the U.S., fewer than a quarter of all adults and fewer than a tenth of older adults have no chronic medical conditions. Of course, most of these conditions aren't fatal. Is RFK Jr saying that if someone has an illness, it's OK to kill them? www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2...

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

For #WorldTurtleDay later in May, I hope we get to hear Gamera’s theme song all day in public places. 🐢 youtu.be/wjpoh2-YBJI

I don’t remember this fact coming up with the Tasmanian Devil was in March Mammal Madness. #2027MMM @mmmletsgo.bsky.social

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Was the kaiju Gabora — nemesis of Ultraman — the real inspiration for Stranger Things’ Demigorgon? #ImportantQuestions #Kaiju #StrangerThings

"Stop Look Listen" is also a very good phrase to use on rude people interrupting a chatty squirrel's delightful conversations 😉

Lots of bad stuff happening these days, so a little reminder:

I remind myself daily of the words of the late, great activist and thinker Audre Lorde (and @cuny.edu prof): "Joy is an act of resistance," she insists. Joy fuels us for the fight. "We must risk delight," she urges, against apathy and defeatism. #SeaScrolling #Breathe

The odds of being slapped by a random turtle in the middle of the ocean are low, but never zero. Original post

Squirrel Jazz is a real thing, not just cheap “AI” videos on YouTube. #InternationalJazzDay Needs Squirrels! 🎻🎷🐿️🪗🪕 www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...

Happy International Jazz Day, officially declared by @unesco.bsky.social in 2011. 🎺🐿️🎼 www.unesco.org/en/internati...

If only there was still #SquirrelWeek in April to help get this happy squirrel story coverage outside Britain. 🇬🇧🐿️🎄 #SquirrelScrolling www.bbc.com/news/article...

All those books about the declines and falls of empires that I never read.... do they cover how dumb things were? I was unprepared for how dumb things were going to get.

I didn’t miss Alien Day. This post was sent from deep in space where it is still what many of you call 27/04/2026.

Yes, train your puppies to attack monkeys — just in case they have to face the #MeanMonkey in #2027MMM! 🐶 🐒

AI (LLM) comes with inept intern plagiarised excuses too. How fabulous.

To celebrate South Africa’s #FreedomDay today, here is a Cape Ground Squirrel (Geosciurus inauris or Xerus inauris), sometimes called the South African Ground Squirrel — although they are found across southern Africa. 🇿🇦🐿️🌍 #SquirrelsOfTheWorld #sqrlpix

Even on #WorldPenguinDay, do not trust any periscope decorated to look like a penguin. 🐧

With the explosion of National Days for more topics than anyone could hope to remember, from now on I will only pay attention to World Days officially sanctioned by some global body. If the UN hasn’t endorsed it, why should I care? National Pigeon Day in June is fake! www.cbc.ca/radio/costof...

Trump’s post describing Chinese & Indian immigrants as “gangsters with laptops” and calling India a “hellhole” is disgusting, insulting and rooted in white supremacy. Birthright citizenship is foundational to America—no amount of racism or xenophobia from Trump can change that.

I bet ACME doesn’t celebrate Earth Day. #CoyoteVsAcme

Making wb out to be a subsidiary of acme AND making the tag line “the movie that acme dont want you to see” is brilliant marketing
