Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The most beautiful relationship ever. A month ago little Maple Syrup had been stabbed in the stomach and her elderly owner reached out to us for help. Fully healed, maple syrup is back and it's the most beautiful thing you could ever see

Turns out Rocky was a pretty good name. The comeback is staggering. This will make you beam from ear to ear I promise by the end of the video. Next week is all about his eyes. Step by step 🤞

It's too bad that officials in the United States are given a pass while officials in other countries are held to account. Smarmy Lutnick is the most recent example. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 this week. It was a slap in the face to the countless activists who fought for the VRA — and those who died for it. But we cannot give up. Here's how we should respond.

A fungus photo a day: still on my one a day streak for finding things. These oysters were in a very shady area, so I took the photo with flash. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

The Republican Political Party has already confirmed over and over they will not comply with state, federal or civil laws. Or even international laws. They do not live in the U.S. ~ or on this planet, on the same terms as the rest of us.

Some of y'all need a hug, a forehead kiss, and a grill cheese sandwich cut diagonal.

I appreciate everyone on this side of the pond will be in bed now but for the record, here's tonight's Full Flower Moon just now. It's also 'Micro Moon' being as far away from us as it gets! Goodnight all #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Sometimes it is the medicines that help most for the street dogs who are as sick as George when they come In. Sometimes it is the food and shelter. But in this case I think the most important factor has been the love. George gets it daily and it has changed his life. ❤️

Unconscionable !! The Department of Homeland Security just bulldozed a 1,000-year-old archaeological site in Arizona. The 200-ft intaglio—an enormous ground carving painstakingly etched into the desert floor over generations—was ripped apart for wall construction. DHS knew exactly what they 1/2

Took younger daughter (who wants to be a paleontologist) to a lake near Peterborough last night. We found these Jurassic microfossils-teeny ammonites & crinoid ‘ossicles’-these little rock stars were part of the stems of crinoids/sea lilies-animals with 5 axes of symmetry related to sea urchins 🐚

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Astronauts search for intelligent life continues….

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

Solar tech has improved so much and come down in price some in CH use them to build fences. Balcony solar panels for flats produce enough to charge most devices. Rainfall capture is a big thing here too. So your house is completely off the grid for water supply as well.
