A young Mockingbird adorably figuring out the world #birds 🌿

While drying off after the shower (outside of the shower on the mat) I said out-loud “I wonder if I can get Belgian citizenship” and a domino of product bottles fell off the ledges. “I guess that’s a ‘over our dead bodies’ ” 🤣

🧊✈️ SEATTLE ⛓️😲 👉 Young men & boys in shackles are herded by hired thugs from a chartered Eastern 737 to a waiting bus, to be transported to GEO Group's Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington 👀

listening to a pod supposed to be analysis of spiritual/religion/NRM stuff and the host just said excommunication from the Catholic Church is saying 'your behavior is so bad we can't hang out anymore' Funny when I was little it meant no path to salvation for you so guess where you're headed

This is very wise. It’s also why clowns and humor are so important in esoteric practices

And now back to our regularly scheduled Apocalypse Posting #Breaking US Consulate in the Kurdistan capital of Erbil (Northern Iraq) have activated air defenses; American C-RAM currently engaging aerial threats, including Iranian drone strikes (also reports of Iran-backed local militia activity)

A pair of Red-tailed Hawk siblings. They will soon be going their separate ways, but since fledgling they have been staying close to home and to each other.

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak perched along the nature trail. The size of the rosy bib varies from male to male, which is helpful in identifying individuals.

FUCK. THIS. FUCKING. SHIT. ENOUGH!

SO MANY DEER! They’re everywhere lately: babies, big males and lots of busy moms. Here’s two minutes of deer doing their thing. Including the stomping and snorting thing #mammals 🌿 🧪 🐡

I haven't been over to their place much this yr, but Rufus and Rupert are doing OK. No colts, but seem to be doing well and I'm glad to see that! The pair of them. Big boy Rufus, he's a huge crane! A RWBB harassing Rupert. #birds #SandhillCranes

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

y r u sleep paralysis shaming people my brother 😈

Jimothy?

DONT TALK TO ME OR MY SON EVER AGAIN

Notes on where we’re now at, or: democracy’s Waterloo moment. More on Miller, priming language of the 5th Column enemy within, and its relationship to both the summit on the left’s ‘terrorism threat’ and Trump on election interference In sum, crossing the Full-On Fascism Rubicon: 1/3

ass out flower ate this is how we like pollinate 🐝

Touch the ufo And let the body speak Into the full duration Across the lens

Meh, I don’t care if they ‘know who I am’ bc it isn’t about me. But I do wish the arguments had more nuance (any). For ex: an attorney in an NSPM-7 related ‘antifa terrorism’ case this week read an old thread, and reached out to ask if I’d provide expert testimony for the appeal. 1/

Happy Friday Bluesky. I hope you’re soaring into the weekend like this Great Egret. Or maybe you’re crawling exhaustedly and in need of a cold drink and a nap. Either way, may the weekend bring you what you need #birds 🌿

A large majority of Red-tailed Hawks don't start to get their red tail feathers until their second summer, a little after their first year. In some rare cases, a Red-tailed Hawk will molt into their adult plumage earlier.

one of my hobbyhorses-the way SF Bay Area beat era art, esp constructions and collage, grew out of the demolition of the Western Addition - a historically Black neighborhood. beautiful bits of victorian era houses repurposed as lives were destroyed a few pieces by friends using garbage & detritus

I would love to feel good while “fighting fascism” on bluesky, but unfortunately, I have to go where the fascists are. Because defeating fascism is more important than my feelings. So fuck all the way off forever with this nonsense. It’s petty, stupid, counterproductive, and exhausting. .

WHAT A CUTIE! (Grass Skipper, probably. On Purple Cone Flower) #ivertebrates #BugSky 🌿

Image of Apollo found at Delphi in 1939, dated 6th century BCE. The evocative "archaic smile," framed in raiment of gold.

If you're going to post something this important you NEED to use alt text. At this point it's ridiculous that this isn't being done.

Happy #WorldSnakeDay! Garter snakes are good swimmers

bedhead 😩

EMERGENCY BABY BIRD WEIRDOS TIME!! The air and the lettuce are trying to murder us so we need distraction. Here is the poofiest, fluffiest birb/muppet in my photo archives (Great Egret) #birds 🌿

"According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted."

Really grateful for Alexandra Brodsky—for everything, but especially for this commentary on the disappearance of public feminism: newsletter.thedriftmag.com/p/in-the-vac...

I have updated my ‘DM Slide In Success’ folder, reply with any requests for particular images and best of luck

A Virginia Rail on the hunt for tasty things. That long beak gives good reach for finding foodstuffs when poking about in the mud.

The secret reason guys do this is because the bullet fertilizes the saucer, producing Bullet Bill offspring.

No, antifa did not “arise out of nowhere during BLM protests.” Alphabet agency provocateurs inevitably target any protest network, regardless of ideology. This false assertion is counterproductive and is the type of claim that provokes considerable blowback once it gains widespread traction.

Today is #WorldSnakeDay and I'm featuring my favorite venomous serpent, the Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus). Historically, this snake occupied much of the eastern US, and still thrives in protected habitat. This golden specimen is from central Indiana. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿

I remember the smog in Los Angeles being like this when I was a kid ('60s). We do not want to go back to that! #ECK #Smog #CleanAir #LosAngeles

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

James “Fergie” Chambers is a total wingnut: the absolute caricature of an ultra-campist lefty super-rich kid. at the same time, there's a good chance he's being arrested as part of the Trump attacks on lefty finances and non-profits. lamag.com/crimeinla/co...

we r living in an authoritarian police state. they're good at murdering people to keep things quiet and doing outrageous, nonsensical things. when east Germany fell the documents survived to show half the population was spying on the other half. how long was teh location of the Romanov's bodies +

Happy Heavenly Birthday to iconic journalist and activist Ida B. Wells ⚖️🕊️🕊️ #idabwells #inremembrance #civilrights #journalism

this demonstrates the debased nature of ICE - there are TONS of people in dangerous jobs who can keep a level head and a focus on safety while under immense threat to their personal safety. as ever, my heart is with the people fighting fires and providing emergency health services 💘

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Birds&Flowers Can't resist the theme today. Sandhill Crane in Asters, in case you haven't seen this one yet, I have posted many times.
