I started daydreaming about the day that so many of us are looking forward to, and then I ruined it by having Joe and Jill Biden empathetically paying their respects.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When his parents asked him why he and his friends were going to the No Kings protest against Trump: The young man responded, it's not what happened to us — but rather, what the fuck has happened to you? 😳👇

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Mike Johnson asked for 4 Dems to join the GOP to open the government, IF AND ONLY IF they agree not to release the Epstein files.

Here’s a shot of Naples and Mount Vesuvius before sunrise. I got up mighty early to make the walk up to that vantage point.

Good morning and happy Friday BS! 🦋👋… Wishing you a great end to the week and a wonderful weekend! ☕️🌱☀️🌳💛🌿✨🥂 #nature #ForestFriday

Trump on Mamdani: "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?"

Summit views that take your breath away! Mount Elphinstone, between Gibsons and Sechelt, offers a challenging hike with panoramic views of Howe Sound and Keats Island. Every step we take on these trails matters. Staying on marked paths, packing out all waste, and respecting local wildlife.

England/UK Shenanigans, Day 10: This morning we drove out to Honister Slate Mine, where we did the Via Ferrata Extreme, climbing and hiking to 640 meters high and crossing some scary bridges! We spent the rest of the day driving South to Salisbury.

I’m sure that the headline writer meant to say that the plane experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly.

It's as if someone said, "Well, how should the public react when someone famous dies?" And death smiled and took him from us.

🧵1/10 September 9, 1983, 42 years + 1 week ago today: I made my way to Thunderstorm Junction, a spot where several trails intersect in a high saddle between three of the five peaks of Mount Adams. #backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

Hosting #AppalachianTrailHikers, there are some that I stay in touch with even after they finish their hike. I get sent amazing photos of them finishing in #Maine at #Katahdin, poles up & giant smiles! This is a great story about a sweet lady who stayed with me last year. thetrek.co/appalachian-...

❤️ My dad, Bob Behrman, passed away 12 years ago today at age 85. He was the best dad and loved politics, Ella Fitzgerald, Walt Whitman, Jobim, vodka, eggrolls, and photography -- and my mom. He would have despised #Trump and resisted with us. In his memory, please retweet: #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Today’s hike 🥾

Good morning, Happy Best Day of the Week! What do you have planned today? I’m headed off on my vacation adventure. I hope you take some time to get outside and have a little fun. Have a wonderful day!

The air feels charged right now, in the space between eclipses, a threshold where old karmic stories brush against the edge of new unfolding. So breathe into your being and let nature wash over you. #photography #astrology #landscape #nature #colorado #wellness #nature #health #energy #healing

Take the winding path through the dunes to the sea.

Reminder: womens rights are human rights.

I have no issue with parents banning books….. for their own child. But don’t dictate what my child can read. If you are parents know best, great. You parent your child. I’ll parent mine. Keep in mind those who burn books are always on the wrong side of history.

#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

Today I hiked from the beach at Pike Lake to the top of Powder Hill and back, 3 times. About 9 miles, and 1,100 feet of elevation gain. Getting in shape for a backpacking trip. Meanwhile, everybody else was soaking up the sun. I know, I'm just not that smart. 😅 #hiking

Don't forget to look up!
