What are Texans actually gaining from data centers? Less water, higher power bills, more pollution, less farm land, harmed livestock, less public funds, few local jobs. Big Tech takes our resources, and our communities get left behind.

What a great friend 💕

The affordability crisis isn’t an accident — it’s driven by concentrated corporate power. Just look at the latest evidence in California's price-fixing case against Amazon.

Greetings from Kyiv. We have windy and cold weather again. Today, looking at these flowers, I thought how much they remind me of us. Ukrainians stand through all the winds of life.

This is Ellbie. She somehow snuck out her apartment's 13th-floor balcony and walked the ledge to the other side of the building. After two days of searching, a neighbor found her with his drone. She has withdrawn her application to be the friendly neighborhood Spider-Dog. 13/10

This album would be in my top five for the magnificent vocals alone. It also made my 10 year old heart leap with joy - hearing 2 women rock out in the male dominated rock radio space of the 70s was magnificent 🎸 #5debutalbums7579

A black heron using its wings like an umbrella, creating shade to attract fish, a behavior known as “canopy feeding”.

A short moment of peace that you can loop for anyone who might need it. Lake Winnipeg is still pretty completely frozen, but the streams are relentlessly chipping away at the ice.

Nemophila bloom season has begun in Japan. Every spring, the fields of Hitachinaki Park are transformed into a blanket of blue, where over 5 million delicate blue flowers bloom, creating a "sky beneath your feet" effect.😍 Good image for Bluesky .

Reason #1 we don't even think about planting until mid May.

Local woman wakes up, celebrates Canadian independent booksellers, hopes that your local book shops thrive and one day we see the downfall of Amazon, makes oatmeal.

A hard rescue today. His vet results are absolutely brutal. I just had to keep talking to him all day and hopes he keeps fighting. We think he had been dumped and left to die. He'e going to need a bit of a miracle if I'm honest but he's not alone and he's eating and drinking. His name is Rocky

Not my photo. This tree reflects how I feel—I’ve fallen, but I haven’t given up. Life isn’t easy; in fact, it’s very hard. It’s a constant process of learning, often feeling like we can’t take another step, yet somehow finding the strength to keep going. I’ll always find a way to survive. ♥️

Check out this dog! She comes equipped with 2 sub woofers!

Trees are magnificent things :) #Ashridge #Bluebells #CanonR5markII

So glad I moved out here - the countryside is so divine. Loveliness abounds! (Will post on Instagram too where video quality will be better!) #bluebells #woodland #ashridge #berko #iphone15pro

I just realized that today is Arbor Day! 🌲 I’m one of those Arbor Day diehards who thinks that trees are pretty cool and Arbor Day should still be a thing. Plant a tree! Happy Arbor Day! 😁 Pic is an ancient oak tree in Widewater State Park.

Welp, I appear to have manifested a thing. About 6 mos ago, I decided I would learn to do live, unscripted storytelling. Today I got an email asking for my bio and a few lines about the story I'm going to tell at an event in June. I'm officially on the program. Details when they're published.

A spray of lily-of-the-valley on the woodland floor. Don’t forget to look down! #ForestFriday #ECK #wildflowers

🤣 😭 the Alberta bar next to the BC bar in the chart.

Witness the astonishing trap feeding behavior of Eden's Whale in the Gulf of Thailand. Nature's wonders continue to amaze us every day.

March went out like a lion. April is going out like a complete asshole.

I’m continuing to work on the sketchbook cover. #art #ink #knight #concept

Amazing job, Nashville!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view, Isle of Skye

Once again, an international embarrassment. He has degraded the US entirely, with his stupidity and lack of basic morality.

I'm going to be honest with one of my biggest insecurities. I have a deep ingrained feeling that I can never -fully- connect with my artists friends because I'm not really an artist myself. I think it's just an extension of my insecurity about my own creative craft, writing.

She crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. 2 years as a puppy mill before a gal I served with rescued her and sent her on to me and my wife. She was 10 years with us and didn't remember her old life. She's already missed.

Flower of the Day - the bees 🐝 are enjoying my rhododendron this #InsectThursday. Yay, #Pollinators!

I came here today to watch the ducks feeding. Maybe they’re light on their feet—only their lower bodies are submerged, which looks pretty funny. The ducks seem to be diving with all their might, but I couldn’t help but chuckle a little. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

Veronica is too busy looking in the mirror - let's go play!

This is Spot. He politely offered to protect you during your run. This is what's known in the business as "securing the perimeter." 14/10 you're welcome (IG: spot_the_whippetmix)

Fashionistas of the avian world. - Male Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus). The males are known for their bright golden-yellow crest and red underparts. They have a distinctive orange and black striped cape. They're found in the dense, mountainous forests of western China. #birds #colourful

The foreign interference is here, and has already attracted truckloads of eyeballs. Will the UCP do anything about it?

The vividness of fresh spring greens is intoxicating. And don't you just love a mossy log?!

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Some mid-air junco battles from the other day. They do these amazing, spiraling aerial battles. It's taken some practice to be quick enough to catch them. Most of my shots are of empty sky :) #birds 🌿

Yellow-crowned Night Heron A new bird for me. I yelled out when I saw it! Poor bird. #herons #nature #photography
