There is a glorious museum in Amsterdam devoted to him, and (when I was there) it's arranged chronologically. You could see the colors change as he got better and worse, and see the gaps when he was very bad. I much prefer the art from his "better" periods, and wish he could have had more of that.

Four years ago today, I took this picture of Trinket and her best friend Opal (the neighbor’s indoor/outdoor cat who kept breaking into our house to spend time with Trinket). She taught Trinket how to “loaf.” #dogs #cats

This is the main reason why I am loud about this at work. Just this semester I have had two nonbinary students tell me that I'm the first nonbinary professor they've had and ask me how I navigate being out at work.

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing. 66 years old going 66 mph.

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

When I first transitioned, I would drive a mile to a public gender neutral bathroom rather than use one at work. I found out later a dozen staff held “meetings” about what they would do if I used the women’s room. I was their boss’s boss at the time, still had no recourse, just had to let it happen.

Ok, where tf is the nougat, because that's the worst one, always. Of these, it's the raspberry. I like raspberry. But these taste like chemical sadness imagining raspberry flavor.

Our now-deceased beloved cat once decided that she needed to teach my daughter to be a good mouser. She started by catching a mouse and crippling it and releasing it in my daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night . . .

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Listen. I regularly drove the beltway coming home from college, sleep-deprived and brain-fogged from exams, and the distraction of the goddamn Mormon temple all lit up like Oz was enough to make me nearly wreck more than once. I cannot imagine the mayhem a Sphere display would cause

My mother was 18 when Black women were able to vote openly. 23 when Roe v. Wade passed. 24 when women were allowed bank accounts in their own names I was 29 when I lost my right to an abortion. I am 33 & about to lose my right to vote A pox on every Trump supporter. Hell ain’t hot enough for you.

I am ABSOLUTELY reading this as HARD PROOF that Romans farmed ichthyosaurs. It is fact now. Sorry.

one of the best things I ever found online

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

If there was ever a case for someone to go by "Harold" instead of "Harry," this is it. Yes, this is real, and yes, he's really an obgyn. www.vahealthprovider.com/results_gene...

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

I'm on day eleventy-billion of this flu. I'm better but not well, and I am so tired of this crap.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I just did some creative acquisitioning of departmental resources, and am now in proud possession of a keyboard shelf (there was one in the unused random desk area that nobody had claimed in 3 years, so I claimed it lol)

I am extremely tired of my city deciding that the best place to pile all of the plowed snow is in the ADA curb cuts and handicapped parking spaces. Because fuck disabled people, apparently. Clearly none of us work or go anywhere, I guess?

At this point, I'm seriously tempted to start sending in grant proposals for UBI stuff because that seem like the only way that we will get people UBI. Despite tons of evidence, they'll only fund it if it's a pilot study, so the ethical thing to do is keep doing pilot studies on UBI 🙃

This is truly awe-inspiring and chilling, especially when he faces the camera. (And if you haven't heard of "Sir Thomas More", it's because the play wasn't published or performed during Shakespeare's lifetime.)

Ive watched this about 100 times. This is why the internet was invented. Right here. Peak content.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I'm the one on the right. Just imagine me slowly sinking down in hopes that all of the tasks I shifted to this week because I was sick won't notice that I blundered into Monday yet

Timeline cleanse

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Lichen on the Old Kiln Trail today 🌿

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!

One of the things I admired about the action network in St. Louis was how they would educate protesters at the start of every action about the expected risk levels and exit points to lower-risk activities when higher-risk ones were planned. It let everyone decide for themselves what risk to take.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

I really urge you to not just shake your head at the headline of this but to read each word, to imagine each step these kids took, to sit with the terrible dilemma of the mother, to imagine the principal driving toward Whipple.

I joined a protest at the police union in Cleveland some years ago (about rehiring officers who used excessive force) and a cop car followed me for blocks when I left. I spent the time wondering what I'd do if they stopped me, and if they'd kill me. This is a common intimidation tactic.
