You know it’s a good sign when a dead crew member beams onto the Enterprise with a disembodied voice telling you your ship is cursed #FrightClub

Wow! I know I shouldn’t be surprised but too many jokes and not enough pure wonder and awe at this. Amazing. Mind-blowing. Spectacular.

It's not the "Muslim name for God"; it's the Arabic word for God, used by Arabic-speaking communities of multiple religions. This is why Religious Studies education is important.

[The Apollo 11 plaque] reads: "We came in peace for all Mankind." As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock. - Carl Sagan

Periodic reminder that Markey has a bill to take away nuclear first strike powers from the president. Possibly the single most important piece of legislation a Dem majority could pass. No one should be trusted with such power.

People should read this in the context of the MULTI-YEAR campaign led mostly by young Black people in Chicago to INSIST that U Chicago open a level 1 trauma center on the Southside. blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/26/a...

Reminds me of the heroic stories the Army told about Pat Tillman getting killed in Afghanistan before it came out he was shot in the head 3 times by his own guys

they prematurely declared air supremacy, then lost a fighter jet for the first time in decades, then lost a bunch of other aircraft during rescues it’s a colossal fuckup amid an illegal war but sure I bet those bombs really “lit up the silhouettes of the surrounding mountain”

People always extrapolate from their experience but I swear faculty meetings can teach you a lot about how (mostly) well-meaning people can fail to 1) take up facts 2) put on blinders 3) do group-think 4) fail to adequately coordinate 5) get distracted by irrelevant things 6) cave to authority

Surely the hot stove can't burn us twice

We are little more than bunches of noisy accomplished ants in a vast universe

We dont have to be beholden to Adobe anymore. Clip Studio exists. Procreate exists. So many other better not dogshit AI ridden programs exist. Wean yourself off of this company

Depluralize a movie: Dial M for Crow

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

We are so, so small. #Artemis

There's was a story on her American Experience bio about her and her friend driving the backroads of Mississippi (or "roads" as they called them in the South then), pistol on the seat between them. It always stuck with me.

Cleveland Kitchen—I am sort of charmed by these three dorky white guys going national with their foods and making Cleveland a gourmand notion. I think they even make it in Cleveland? My closest market now has kimchi-usually I have to travel some ways to get it. www.clevelandkitchen.com

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

It’s so gutting and shameful. Nobody helping with this atrocity should ever live it down. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Anyone got a good Brooklyn locksmith rec… cuz… the spindle got stripped

One reason WE feel powerless is that as individuals we are powerless and hampered from acting collectively. Before you slam us—consider that maybe this is why humans form governments? That’s a main thing it is supposed to be for. But now we find government officials ALSO can’t act collectively 1)

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

OH. Right. This is why everyone is not as crazy is me. I forget sometimes.

This face #birds

starting now i am going to start sharing the books i read. finished this volume this morning. it is terrific.

Of all the cheesy cliches in this world the one that is so goddamn true it’s not funny is that all people need love. Right from birth. A person needs it the most in youth. We must show love and kindness to the youth whenever we can. But all people need loving care throughout their lives.

A+ headline.

Great pics! I have that same camera and lens and managed to snag this bald eagle last fall. Great little getup

I photographed all of these bald eagles in a parking lot. They aren’t there anymore.

Today - a red bellied woodpecker at the feeder!

This hungry pileated woodpecker let me walk right up to him this morning. Video from ~8 feet away.

today in photos. some birds i've seen in my backyard. taken with a lumix g9 and the pana-leica 100-400mm telephoto lens

Here's an adult Coope's Hawk from my backyard earlier this year to tide you over

i am hearing that on his deathbed donald trump received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. even now he…oh he’s still alive? he decided to just praised allah?

One possible omission in my consumption of the news is I often avoid what the president says.

I dunno. Before Bluesky I just had to yell at the newspaper all by myself. Or loop in my husband to do it with me. I like everyone yelling at the newspaper with me.

Just wrapped up a Sunday morning hike in Maclay Flats here in Missoula. So many birds out and about 🥰

Besides the bananas thing the current US president says on social media —-which are far nuttier and more unhinged than anything presidents have ever said—has a war every been conducted by public threat? Where a political leader just yells threats to their enemy to get them to back down, etc?

Crazy, can’t imagine where they got the idea of doing that!
