When you see a Nina vinyl in good condition for a few bucks, you get it immediately. Found this one today. There are two Charles Aznavour numbers, a classic Jacques Brel tune. Plus the Screamin' Jay Hawkins title track. It's poppier than her early 1960s stuff but a good listen. And that voice...

Sometimes a toilet at 3am is a “reflecting pool,” you guys

The hummingbird is a favourite of mine so tiny and so beautiful. The nest constructed with soft material, held together with spider web, it's size is 1/2 of a walnut! Amazing birds

15 years ago, the Wallow Fire began, eventually becoming the largest wildfire in Arizona history. Every year, parts of Arizona are devastated by fires. That's why I’m working to support wildland firefighters and reduce the risk of damaging wildfires to better protect communities.

I grew up on these waters. I’m fighting to make sure future generations can too.

Hiking with Teddy the dog never disappoints

CCYC and the Cherokee Central Fly Fishing Club explored stream health through aquatic insects with guidance from EBCI NRD’s Water Quality Program. Students learned about water quality, pollution, and cultural connections to clean water. Sgi to all collaborators who made it possible!

The Trump administration has taken over full control of what appears on National Park Service websites. For decades, park staff managed their own sites, working closely with local communities and tribal nations to tell the stories of the places they know best. That’s over now.

😂😂😂

Yeah. If it weren’t for people…

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

Man, got a little emotional tonight, had to go to an event at Talmage’s school and one of the families I’d been buying groceries for during the ICE occupation was there. It was wonderful seeing them all feeling comfortable enough to be back and participating in the school community.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.

This is MAGA.....disgraceful.

MAGA gun owners who also use medical marijuana — look up *United States vs. Hemani.* YOUR administration is arguing in federal court that cannabis patients must forfeit their firearms. No crime. No violence. Just a prescription and a pistol. Party loyalty is a hell of a drug. Godspeed.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.
