A pretty flower partially claimed by the ocean #photography #Åland

I was out on my moped this evening and snapped two pictures with my phone, hope everyone is doing well.

Here's two closer crops of the previous picture I posted for more detail, the compression on bluesky is pretty intense. #photography #birds #Åland

Åland, Mute swan with chicks. I love the droplets from the beak. #photography #birds #Åland

If you have a job in 2025 and are generally being left alone, you’re having a great year. This is what I tell myself

he’s like one of those square Japanese watermelons

#ArtDD2025 Barnacle gosling portrait From a lovely 📷 by @arrebarre.bsky.social with thanks. @saocousins.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social @mayfieldbirder.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @indikon.bsky.social

I keep getting some combination of this post despite multiple explanations about it. So again: Hospitals operationalize Medicaid finances far into the future. Budget cuts, layoffs, project cancellations, closures, etc. will begin -immediately.-

ok another big “yall chill out” moment: in the house, voting yes on a rule to proceed to a bill is functionally different than voting to pass a bill. members routinely vote to proceed to the bill and then vote no on the bill. please think of this caveat as you watch the house tonight. ty

Another angle of the previously posted bird, Matt Hill suggests it could be a strawberry finch which I'm inclined to agree with given the white dots on the wing. #photography #birds

This is taken at the same place as the previous photos but it's once again an unknown species to me (I tried Merlin but nothing matched). Identification would be much appreciated! #photography #birds

Your odds of being watched by a duck are always low but never zero

Mystery bird photo nr2. If anyone knows the species I photographed please let me know. #photography #birds

Here's another photo of the red-browed firetail as identified by the lovely Cristin Larkin on the last post. #photography #birds

guys GUYS TURN ON THE TV ANY CHANNEL THIS IS BRONX RN

To put some water on the fire of panic and fear, lets remind ourselves. This is a super unpopular decision, with a majority of Americans saying they do not want to go to war with Iran. While this might seem like a bad time (it is) this is also stove touching at levels previously imagined

real props to Padilla for everything he did today, this is exactly the kind of confrontation we need to see more of and the optics are fucking terrible for the Trump goons hasn't always been my favorite Senator but credit where credit is due, I hope others see this as a model

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

anyway, deleted previous post because publicly freaking out on the timeline is not particularly helpful fuck 'em, they're not going to win

Not really true. I've worn masks with a beard in full tear gas clouds and been fine.

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

I say this a lot but we are all so lucky this generation of fascists came of age on message boards and not stabbing people to death at close range in a trench while the world detonates endlessly around them

DONALD TRUMP!!!!! TAKE AWAY ELON'S COMPANIES AND DEPORT HIS ASS, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!

ELON COMING IN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR, ITS OVER, ITS FUCKING OVER

battle to see who kills themself first

Went camping last night, it was really pretty when I woke up.

Four spring pictures form the walk I took a few days ago #photography #forest

Some test pictures taken with my new lens. It's got a good range. #photography

This was probably the best photo today despite it being of a common mallard. Also taken on my new lens and sorry for making so many posts in short order. #photography #birds

The Canadian goose has an impressive wingspan, this was also taken on my new lens. #photography #birds

Eurasian coot also known as "Sothöna" here in Sweden. Captured today on my new lens. #photography #birds

This is a female blackbird (Turdus merula) perched on an oak tree. #photography #birds

Something tells me that the "Murder Mystery Dinner Theater" ain't getting any updates soon lol

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

people complain that bluesky has that type of hyper-online centrist-liberal demographic of users that throws tantrums and discourse about the dumbest shit in the world but that’s my favorite part of this place. can’t get that anywhere else these days

Happy bday to this guy 👇 That's a big number you got there @vinny.vinesauce.com #art #vinesause
