Friends, vikings, countrymen: lend me your eyes. May I present what just happened an hour ago in Iceland? It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather! #northernlights #aurora

Governor Mouton is a real beauty and a Camellia I always look forward to seeing in my garden.😍I am leaving on a adventure tomorrow 😉🧳✈️ #Flowers #Gardening #Camellias #Winter #Boston #December #GulfOfMexico #FlowerReport

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The gorgeous fringe lilies are flowering in local bushland (south coast NSW). Here's one with an appreciative hoverfly. #FlowerReport #ozplants

#FlowerReport: I have none to photograph currently, but from the archives, here’s a spectacular display of poinsettias (from a year ago), the Charlton Building at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. Best and kindest regards.

It snowed all day yesterday, and all night. Awoke to about 10 inches/25cm snow on the land today.

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

A not-too strenuous to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for two. And yes; we’re thankful for the food, shelter and warmth on a chilly day. 🙏 😌

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

A time of uncertainty in our country; a belief that we can and will again do better. “Too often, our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving.” Alicia Keys

Makary and Oz stand there and nod as their boss lies about vaccines not being tested. Can you imagine a doctor sinking lower than this? I can't. It's the Mariana trench of medical ethics.

Stayed at home: sorted through a “doom pile” of papers that made a move with us last month; shredded quite a few of these. Leftover French Onion soup for supper. Loved the ordinary, uneventful pace of today.

My favorite mailbox #Clematis really suffered over the summer but now she’s making a comeback 😃🙌💜 #Flowers #Gardening #GulfOfMexico #Plants #Autumn #November #FlowerReport #GYO

Everyday is #Stunday for my Yuletide camellia. It took three years before it produced more than two flowers a season. Patience is the key! #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #FlowerReport 🌱 #EastCoastKin #Photography #OnlyBeautifulThings

A few flaws around the edges but I do think she's a lovely bloom this morning. One of my Dancing in the Dark roses. 🌱🌿🍃 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #garden #roses #PhotographersofBluesky📷 #Photography 📷

S WI #FlowerReport: sharing fall foliage again this week. That November sun lights it up, and its beauty surpasses any store-bought flowers that I have seen. Kindest regards to all 💛

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

S WI #FlowerReport: we are still smiling, following a small gathering at our new home last night. A little housewarming mum is glowing on the kitchen counter this morning ❤️🧡🤎 Best and kindest regards

Next time, let’s try a Speaker who isn’t eager for the rapture.

Gore Vidal said “It’s not enough that I succeed, others must fail.” That’s how I feel about the disgraceful gutter-bigot campaign run against Mamdani and the do-you-need-to-borrow-an-Ativan freakout about him. These people spectacularly undignified.

#FlowerReport 🩵💙💚

I can already tell, I’m gonna need so much additional mental health treatment and therapy, since working with these families kidnapped by I.C.E. Operating within a system of literal government-run domestic terrorism takes a toll. We shouldn’t have to live like this.

A carpenter bee died in the night holding a lantana flower in our front yard. There are less lovely ways to go. #flowerreport

#FlowerReport from S WI.

Pretty remarkable that World Central Kitchen, known for its humanitarian relief efforts around the world, is setting up aid centers for furloughed federal workers in DC

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits. No, they don’t have to.

im sorry you cant have food but we gave all our money to one guy who “invented” 2 day shipping and another thats promising robot butlers so you can see how our hands are tied
