I think this might be the most video game coded real life location I've ever seen. (Junction of the Rhône and Arle rivers, Geneva, Switzerland.)

A juvenile great horned owl from the summer. In the very early morning, the owls were sometimes hanging out on the ground before retiring to the trees to sleep for the day. (taken with Sigma 600mm lens and cropped) #birds #owls #nature #wildlife

Good morning! 🪶

It is very difficult to find ADHD publications that are properly critical and intersectional. So I have been putting together a list with what I have found over the years. I am still working on the list, but here is a start: ddhuijg.com/readings-cri...

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

Getting on a train in Switzerland and seeing a guy in cammo (I presume military) casually holding a large gun is fucking wild. Anywhere else and this would be a massive concern

I'm in (French) Switzerland and of course I'm spotting work by Invader (or fans) #StreetArt

A cynic might ponder the skin colour of all the countries the US has been bombing back to the Stone Age since the 1950s

If, after two years of the Gaza Holocaust, you still think America and Israel bombing schools in Iran is about anything other than the Greater Israel project, colonial slaughter for evil pedophiles, then you're a baby clinging onto bedtime stories. Fuck @albomp.bsky.social, he's a monster.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Which is worse? Israel killing 70,000 Palestinians? Iran killing 30,000 Iranians? This is not a trick question. They’re both unfathomable atrocities which should be condemned.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Truly seems the most appropriate way to acknowledge the 30th anniversary of Australia being the US’s ‘deputy sheriff’ - whole heartedly supporting the US bombing another country, despite not being clued in, even as it kills scores of children

Meanwhile in Australia we just post pics of our critters. #straya.

The "this is just a distraction!" thought-terminating brainworm is one of the most infuriating holdovers from Trump's first term. Nothing is a distraction; they're not that disciplined or clever. Everything is important; their one strategy is to DDOS democracy and its mechanisms of accountability.

Publicly quitting your job & saying, "I refuse to lend any more credibility to an institution perpetuating a moral panic against trans people" would be pretty influential & would actually get you a lot of respect & people willing to support your work outside of that institution. It's always a choice

How many times do we have to say this but: dead people do not come back. Dead children do not come back. Death is permanent. What happens in 3 months means fuck all to the deaths happening RIGHT NOW

Albanese would 100% have backed the Iraq War if he was PM. Would have supported it harder than Howard. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

And thanks to this conflict Qatar Airways have been cancelling flights and I might not fly at all

This is not to free the Iranian people & end their oppression. Many civilians will die & region could fall into absolute chaos as both US & Israel want. This is 2 rogue states believing they can bomb anyone, anywhere whose leaders both belong before The Hague. Shame on Albo for backing it.

Already we’re being lied to that this is in self - defence, the 2026 version of “weapons of mass destruction”, the last one killed more than 1 million Iraqi civilians.

What the USA & Israel are doing in bombing Iran is a violation of the UN Charter & international law. This is an illegal war, unprovoked & can’t be justified as self - defence & is without UN Security Council authorisation.

Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.

I'm flying to Europe tomorrow and I'd appreciate it if the US, Israel and Iran could stop right now. I do acknowledge that the US and Israel are the aggressors here and Iran is responding.

Here’s a Red-eyed Tree Frog to start your day, one of the wonderful creatures we’ve seen so far in Costa Rica. 🐸

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

You deserve this SO MUCH 🐣 🪶

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Trans kids, trans adults, trans all of you folks I’m so glad you live. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you know there are so many rooting for you, fighting for you and hoping you get to live the best life you can

A lovely Steller’s Jay wishing you a happy #ThursJay #birds

Such excellent news to receive on a Friday

Billionaires are a societal and moral failure. Tax and legislate them out of existence.

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

In Australia the systemic failures across these 4 pillars of a civil society can trace the causation of such intergenerational vandalism to Trickledown Economic Policy and the “Thatcherism” of John Winston Fucking Howard Yet , many those most affected swallow the distraction of Hansen et-al 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Reminder: get those Nebula award nominations in, SFWA members! I would of course humbly suggest my own short story ("Large Emotional Models") from Sunday Morning Transport, but no matter who you nominate, nominations close in 2-ish days! (MW: Hugo noms close *next* month.)

The glass and chicken wire ravens by Joan Danziger are amazing 🤩

"It is important to emphasise that members of minority communities are not responsible for hate crimes, and individual risk mitigation can never be foolproof."

I love that this cranky-looking face belongs to one of the sweetest and gentlest cats I've ever known. This was her way of asking me to come outside and give her pats white telling her she's pretty. I obliged, naturally.

I will never tire of photographing Canada jays, especially when the lighting is just so lovely - taken at Wapusk Adventures near Churchill, Manitoba on a perfect winter day. #birds

We are grabbing a bunch of friends, books, games and road tripping to Wodonga this weekend for the Riverina Gaming Festival! If you're in town or feel like something outside of a major city, come and say hey. 🚗 🕐: 10am - 5pm 📅: Sat 28 🏠: The Cube Wodonga www.thecubewodonga.com.au/Whats-On/riv...

My first protest was in high school when Pauline Hanson’s travelling racism circus came to Toowoomba & it’s insane we’re still here decades later. The woman is true dipshit, as dumb as a box of rocks, can’t speak to save her life, yet Australia is racist enough to keep her going
