The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505, 📸 by @alexbrandon

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

Everything is awful but here’s a close encounter with a giant manta. 🤿 🦑

Its kind of crazy how hard they had to swing that pendulum back. They couldn't just go with the mediocre milk blob like Ted Cruz after Obama. They had to go with the most shining example of moronic white privilege, racism and entitlement the US has ever created.

Sweet dreams everyone maybe it will happen tomorrow

roll the clip

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

we don't have to be credulous enablers of this bad faith project

This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.

god would be like "are you sure? you've been a woman 78 times in a row now, you don't want to..." but i'd already be sliding down the big chute labelled WOMAN my laughter echoing behind me

it is with a heavy heart that i have no choice but to plug my podcast, the world’s dumbest birding/music podcast documenting our quest to write a song for every bird species, xoxo lnk.to/extremelyacc...

Baturday Bat World Sanctuary

Motherfucker, the math that powers your war machine is ARABIC. The woman who enabled the GPS that enables you to rain death on civilians was BLACK. And let’s not EVEN talk about that the sheer number of immigrants and non-western folks who make this country what it is. Fuck. You.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

love to pick up my phone and see 5 - 10 different things each of which successively makes me angrier than I’ve ever been in my entire fucking life

when someone’s net worth reaches a billion dollars it should roll over to zero like the scores in old video games

children are not property children are not property children are not property parents do not have rights, they have responsibilities

I maintain that the only reason to ever interview Trump is to ask him basic questions about how the world and government function. How does a bill become a law? How is it that tariffs costs are not passed onto customers? When will we normalize relations with Wakanda?

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

how we got here

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this female peregrine falcon shake The way she slowly grows in to a falcorb is mesmerizing 🫨 This video is NOT in slow motion! Peregrine Falcon 📷🌿🪶

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

I almost forgot! Check out this barred owl I saw this morning. There were 2, the other was in a different tree. If you turn up the volume you can hear the other owl. If you zoom in you can see the owl's head move. It was watching me and my puppers 🦉

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

@ethanscorey.bsky.social and I have published a database of congressmembers who received donations from ICE profiteers GEO Group, CoreCivic, and Management and Training Corporation. Look up your reps at @inthesetimes.com + @theappeal.org. inthesetimes.com/article/ice-....

"When a corrections officer sexually assaults me, ain't that intimate partner violence? When a guard uses his authority to coerce me, ain't that abuse of power? When the state denies me protection from violence, ain't I a woman who deserves safety?" www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...

"what if we made voting against us a really cool and easy act of defiance"

hey, so can some great neurodivergent vigilante who has the spoons start looking up where anyone named in the Epstein Files lives and put them into the Nationwide Sex Offender Registry to protect those around them? familywatchdog.us

It's that time of year again when my niece Lexi texts me a link and says "Cookie Time! We got work to do." So, here I am with an adorable niece who has a 2000 box cookie quota to meet 🤣 So, if you love Girl Scout cookies, order from my Lexi, please! digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/lexi62...

There's a myth that goes around that I hope is being challenged by the evidence of these days, that a nation's freedoms are protected by its military service. Armies sacrifice lives when nation's conflict and yes, sometimes that nation holds freedom as a defining character and sometimes not. /1

If a candidate running in your district, city, or state isn't saying Abolish ICE, they're GOP. I don't care what letter is next to their name, that's the baseline. Don't forget a literal Nazi is running in CA as Dem. Look at this guy's website running as a progressive! This is the pro Auschwitz guy

We also have to stop saying "immigration enforcement" or "law enforcement." Laid bare here is the increasingly tenuous thread between the law and the pretext for arrests, detentions, and state violence. They are not enforcing anything but malice and white supremacy.

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Everyone should watch this timeline using multiple videos. Not only do these ICE wannabe cowboys shoot an unarmed woman, they also keep a man who identifies himself as a doctor from approaching the vehicle. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Won’t do a big thread of what I wrote this year because there’s not that much of it, but I am quite proud of this one

Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.
