I almost never endorse businesses on the socials, but. Electrician Andrew of Mod Tech not only turned up for my emergency two days before Christmas, he took good care of us. I feel more relaxed than I have in a week!

I’m increasingly noticing that the very things that we delight in the most seem to be the things that sooner or later bring us the most heartache. It almost seems to be by design. It makes me feel more grateful for both sides of that, like the things are the irritation that makes the pearl.

Loves the outdoors, Peaceful walks, enjoys car rides, playing, can live with cats, sweet, smart, around 50 lbs and only 3.5 years old. MELIA needs a low traffic adult only home, no dogs. Please give her a life! Hempstead Animal Shelter (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗 ☎️ 516.785.5220 ⬇️⬇️ www.threads.com/@adopt_melia...

#Birds Pelicans are here! It’s been a while.

Happy Friday to all #dogsofbluesky! 🥰 It's been a rainy week here in the Pacific NW so the only exercise we get is practicing our synchronized bed routine. 😁 May not look like much but it involves a lot of bunching & acrobatics to get curled up 'just right' for optimal snoozing. 😴

Say hello to Claire. She’s all mine. A rescue pup from Sterling Animal Shelter.

Got my art up for the first time where almost every single piece is on display. It's an adorable little wine bar with an eclectic feel #art #artsky #bskyart #exhibition #artshow

Someone please adopt this sweetheart girl! 🐾💕

This is a video of MELIA enjoying her time outside in the shelter yard. Just see the happiness, the joy just being out of her kennel. 💖 [email protected] Hempstead Animal Shelter (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793 ⬇️ www.threads.com/@adopt_melia...

My pal Sweet Tooth got himself adopted! Happy to see this good boy go home.

Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. - George Harrison Pic of the day #photography

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition. #art #pleinair #London #Thames #watercolour

Mara is standing in front of the female Asian elephant treatment center, otherwise known as "the barn". Unlike most captive elephant facilities around the world, the elephants are free to come and go from this barn as they please.

My dog just made me take her outside so she could get a stick to bring inside to play with. She is currently playing with it right next to a basket of about 30 toys she never touches.

this started as a mess and then when I stepped back to look at it, i knew it needed a moon. it’s small but mighty. 🤍🕊️ . . #artistsonbluesky #blueskyartshow #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #painter #art #artist #womensartbluesky #abstractartist #blueskyart #oregonartist #oregon

When it takes me 20 minutes to saw open a plastic water bottle cap (Aquafina, this time) so I can actually drink from the random water bottle I bought at QT, I think someone in the bottle capping industry has lost the plot.

While Dad was cleaning up from our supper, our little porch possum showed up for his. The early possum gets the bowl all to himself 😁 #Beastro #Possum_Daily #PossumsRock #YumYums

I believe the reaction is best translated as "play? PLAY? OMGPLAYPLAYPLAYPLAYPLAY!!!"

I paired my OM-3 camera with the OM 100–400mm II lens and a 1.4x teleconverter, and now I’m shooting herons handheld at a 560mm focal length 🤯 #photography #birding

We won't claim to have loose slots, but our bartenders can point out machines that have weird electrical problems and others that collect human souls.

A quiet day at the shelter. No one has shown any interest in adopting MELIA. Its now 796 days. 😭 Please don't let it hit day 1000. The goal was to find her a peaceful adult only home by Thanksgiving. No dogs. Cats are ok. 🤞 Help this dog out! Repost / adopt 😩 💻[email protected] ☎️516.785.5220

VOLUME UP for trumpets and rumbles! 🎺 Maia and Bambi had a full-on play session—running, tail-out, leaning into each other, and even showing off a giant stick. Guille watched from the sidelines, while the yard filled with pure elephant joy. Watch here: globalelephants.org/a-vocal-part...

Watching “Billy the Kid” tv series on MGM and I really like it! But also, I can’t stop frowning because the bad people are so bad.

We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)
