Dear republikkans, if you don't like the diversity of this country, then leave.

The Marble Caves (Capillas de Mármol) are a stunning natural formation on Lake General Carrera in Chilean Patagonia, carved over 6,000 years by wave erosion on marble deposits.

This is so clever, a Macro photo of a Damselfly on stem! The full image of the damselfly showing off those iridescent wings which are stunning! They shimmer in blues, greens and violet in the sunlight.

i awoke early this morning as usual, but looking around my room, knowing where i am, feeling the waves of chronic meaninglessness wash over me, was almost too much to bear.

Upper Antelope Canyon, looking straight up. I let the canyon do the framing here… its curving walls leaning in around a small triangle of blue. The flowing lines carry your eye right to that gap of sky. #Photography #ScottKissPhoto #AntelopeCanyon #SlotCanyon

That the partisan Supreme Court ruled birthright citizenship, something expressly in the Constitution, is constitutional isn’t the story. The fact that such an obvious conclusion was in doubt is the story. We have a very corrupt Supreme Court.

Good morning, Bluesky family! Look who followed us home from the morning abbreviated patrol! The Red-spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) is widely viewed as a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and transformation. It represents deep personal growth & is a sign you are on the right path. 🦋❤️

Three wild orcas swam up to a diver out of pure curiosity. No wild orca has ever attacked a human. The smartest cetaceans on Earth just wanted a closer look.

You might disagree with Kavanaugh about the constitutionality of high school athlete genital inspections, but you can't deny he's always been very consistent in his support for nonconsensually groping teen girls.

Vanessa cardui libando sobre Achillea maritima (= Otanthus maritimus) en plena playa de la Albufera de València. Esta planta vive en dunas embrionarias expuestas a la maresía, por lo que acumula sal por todas partes. Alimentarse aquí debe ser como comer saladitos.

Nothing beats hiking in these mountains for days with these views and @jessicawest.bsky.social 🥾💕🏔️ This is my favourite kind of dirty birthday celebration. But maybe you can convince me otherwise when I'm back? 😏

Wrasses are some of the most colourful fish in the ocean, and most of them are born female. Many species change sex during their lifetime, switching from female to male depending on social hierarchy! #fish #ocean #sealife #photography #animals #scuba
