Houston is the 4th largest city in the nation. ICE is here, has been here, and killed a man here. His name was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Don't let that pass you by because it's not on your feed as much as Chicago or Minnesota or LA.

Everybody please just be so careful out there

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

fireworks are best seen by listening to them in the distance while reading in bed

Ho hum.

I'm not posting this year's baby snowy plover content till after nesting season, but here's a video from 2 years ago. Absolute precious cotton balls of joy. May we do whatever it takes to ensure they thrive ❤️ 🪶 🐣

Where you'll see a rare bird. Thanks to @ryanfm.bsky.social's newsletter for teaching me about the Cabanis's ground-sparrow that lives behind the walmart

Tasting @catoctincreek.bsky.social at Barrel and Bushel in Tyson's Corner, VA tonight for Happy Hour! Cheers!

Excellent and inspiring read on how to help rather than harm people living with dementia

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

A good thing for friends...

Seconded!

I somehow didn't post this here earlier Today's Friday Ryeday video is about a special release from a special distillery (because it is my favorite), @catoctincreek.bsky.social ! youtu.be/27nF4C7fYsE

This eyewitness account of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire always brings me to tears (read the whole thing trianglefire.ilr.cornell.edu/index.html)

Really excellent paper on the genetics of caterpillar butt ornaments journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

This guy gets it.

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”

I mean, I was underwhelmed by the "Guinness Factory" in Dublin, except for the charming staff. Diageo doesn't have a sense of fun, certainly.

Thanks for sharing - here's a toast to independent distillery survival!

Deploying emergency kitten videos Sound on

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I never do "Here's what I wrote this year," because you only have to go to our site and scroll through the roughly 4,000 posts I write every year, but nothing will make me prouder than reintroducing the fabulous Harlow to the world. It's the best thing I've written in years share.inquirer.com/XdfXr9

Iowa friends, if any of you might be up for a little post-Christmas road trip, we're trying to help Cheri at American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue pull off a minor miracle here:

Consider where you're shopping this holiday season - let's throw all our money to the small retailers who are hurt here, and to the small manufacturers who are shut out of opportunities by this crap.

This sounds really great!

I hate this kind of predation by companies.

There is tons of easily available data on how many people in rural areas - especially those burdened by costs - are renters. The rent is too damn high. ruralhome.org/wp-content/u... shelterforce.org/2019/08/26/t...

Rental affordability is a nationwide problem!! I love the NLIHC's Gap study for Guys Like This. The data don't lie and, as you note, the number of first-time homebuyers is plummeting esp with interest rates where they are lmao.

Tonight’s progress. From the last picture to this took 3 hours #art 🧶 #diy

This is brilliant. Do not skip the alt-text.

trump may be snatching innocent brown people off the street and traumatizing kids and communities but at least he’s making a notorious sex trafficker “happier” and “more comfortable”
