We have an Iranian friend in Tehran who has devoted his career to translating Thoreau for an Iranian readership. Starting with 'Walden,' through Thoreau's anti-slavery works and essays on civil disobedience, the lot. We have not heard anything from him since the bombardment began.

you can do both of these things at the same time, it’s very easy actually “all your shit is more expensive because Trump tariffed everyone, started an immoral and unnecessary war, and fucked the global energy trade, we will stop doing those things if you elect us” there, done

If you’re not a bird photographer in woodcock territory you’re probably confused about why I’m just over-the-moon tonight. For comparison, please enjoy the other woodcock photos I’ve gotten this spring. I was happy enough with these I put them all over my socials! This is like Bigfoot in 4K to me

Spring has sprung and Easter is just around the corner, so it’s time for my yearly reminder: if you own cats, DO NOT bring lilies ANYWHERE into your house. Even just breathing in the pollen or drinking the water from a vase can be fatal to kitties.

Sometimes you just have to sign off before it all turns bad. Better days are ahead. ✌🏽💙🦋

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

I use Radio Garden all the time! It's brilliant. There's also one for TV. famelack.com

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. "tlah oohleeskawleeyah tlah oohguhweeyoohee" There once was a family that declared themselves above

Lucy Lawless deserves a project where she wins an Oscar because I think she can do her part of that no problem

got a good photo of mount st helens yesterday as i was levitating above portland, working on my swoops

…If i was going to make a nightmare allegory about surveillance and empire based on wizard of oz and Grimm's fairy tales themes, this is what part of it would look like.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

On one hand, what were these owlet's parents thinking setting up a nest in a palm tree 5 feet from a bathroom on a busy tourist beach? On the other, you can't beat the tunes. Unmute. And uhh... ignore the wind. 🪶 🐣

Here's the ultimate Falklands-style penguin surf session...no wetsuits, no boards, just pure penguin chaos in the South Atlantic waves....

lowkey love her being like EYE have a passport bc I'm rich but what about the rest of y'all broke asses? I still know an unconstitutional poll tax when I see one!

Stole. The right word is that we stole it.

Americans struggling to afford groceries who've just learned their military children are being deployed to Iran will be comforted to hear that the robot can serve champagne.

Uncle John says your kids already love Wild Robot from the movie, and the box set of the books is affordable.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn posted a new teaser: "Something is coming"

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

The purpose of studying anything isn't the subject itself but to learn how to *think* like an expert about it. People outsourcing their thinking to genAI are not learning how to think, at all. Part of the cognitive atrophy that genAI immediately induces is no longer being able to understand this

A reminder that we don’t need billionaires to pay charity, we need them to pay their damn taxes. Billionaire philanthropy is PR to disguise their tax evasion. Don’t fall for it. Tax billionaires. Save our democracy. Period.

In an economy anywhere grounded in reality, if you spent 80 billion dollars developing something this useless that died within a few years, you’d be financially destitute. And yet

Here's tonight's newborn goblin puppet. Goodnight. May tomorrow be better. We have a world to win. It's our only option. 💜 🐣 🪶

Okay but what if Trump was personally criticizing you as an official act in his capacity as president?

the president: keeps bizarrely giving shoes to cabinet the cabinet: keeps wearing the shoes although they dont fit, unwilling to risk offense or disfavor by rejecting the mad king's gift/show of dominance and/or dementia, an absurdist microcosm of larger failure NYT: dudes are bad at shopping huh?

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I didn’t know there was a Fushimi ukiyoe print, this makes me so happy!

I'm a Nebula finalist!!!!! "The Name Ziya" is a story I wrote at 22 for my Clarion West application but also to grapple my own thorny relationship with cultural names & assimilation. It took 3 years to publish; I am so proud it's my first award nom and so so thrilled to share space on this list 🥲

this was such a good, good story.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Minneapolis folks have been hearing reports of drone sightings for weeks, speculating it's the feds. The challenge is the govt won't confirm/deny. So, we tried to eliminate other possibilities, the three law enforcement agencies in the area all said not theirs. (7) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

As we roll into Valentine’s Day, and with Easter looming- it’s time for my annual PSA- these kill cats. Period, full stop. Lily pollen is insanely toxic and will destroy their kidneys in 18 hours. If you have cats- THROW LILIES AWAY. 1/

Sleep just solved some plot problems I was having in my writing. Once again "have you tried turning it off and on again" is the fix.
