A dapper and handsome fellow he is, but chestnut he is not. The species name comes from the plumage of the female, who as luck has it accompanies the male almost constantly - and no doubt feeling rather pleased with herself, for she is chestnut as can be.

On the other hand, the female Belted Kingfisher brings the drama with her rust colored vest or belt. #FemaleBirdDay #birds 🌿

Yes mom We need this for cigarette night and im throwing a fit if we dont have it

I am going to make an absolutist statement that I believe is about as close to infallibly true as you can get in our complicated world: As a worker, no one who is urging you not to unionize has your individual best interests at heart.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

I can't believe how many politicians are saying "let's ban trans people from public life, but in a way that is respectful". Are you fucking thick? Who is this for?

Now that Stephen Colbert is done on late night they should bring back Strangers with Candy

Bluesky may be imperfect but it is filled with the lovely types of people ready at any moment to discuss grading policies, Middlemarch, and socialist wallpaper, so, I dunno, it kinda slaps

Gotta pinch the waist so people know it's a girl machine

holy SHIT! i knew this house was cool, but didn’t realize it had this incredible backstory.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Can I get a FUCK ICE in the chat?

Cleaning my office means finding things I meant to get framed. Like this delightful J.C. Leyendecker cover:

Our governments have limited power by design.

DSA congratulates our comrade Robert Levertis Bell on winning his election to the Kentucky House of Representatives. Robert is a public school teacher, the former co-chair of @dsa-louisville.bsky.social, and the only socialist in the Kentucky State House (for now!)

Congrats to our endorsed candidate, Bobby Nichols, for winning his race for Tempe City Council!🎊🌹DSA proudly continues to stand with Bobby and the working class of Arizona!

In a major step towards regaining public trust, the DNC has released its 2024 autopsy with the disclaimer that it was poorly done and you shouldn't trust it.

I'll have something coming out about this eventually but to say this killer was motivated by just "nihilism" is wrong: The killers glorified neo-Nazis They promoted Siege and ideas like "accelerationism" Their influences were ripped out of a "Terrorgram" documentary. www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

We need to get a lot more attention on what's going on in Memphis.

Step up or get the fuck out of the way

for the record it's definitely still in the "huh, that's pretty neat" phase and not a "we should rewrite the global economy and social order and put this in charge" phase

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

"Kids can't get enough of them. They're called Beanie Babies." "Beanie Babies" "Beanie Babies" "Beanie Babies" "それらは「bīnī beibīzu」と呼ばれています" "Beanie—“ "Beanie—“ "Beanie—“ "BEANIE BABIES"

so DSA walks out of the 5/19 primaries with one new Philadelphia congressman, one new Kentucky state rep, one new Oregon state rep, one new Oregon state senator, a runoff spot for a new Georgia state house seat, and a general election nomination for a new PA Senate seat

ICE is attempting to take over Tucson, AZ. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

I just saved a little snapping turtle from a busy footpath at a Buddhist temple. If y'all need me I'll be in Nirvana.

Twin Cities residents also have been reporting a noticeable increase in surveillance ops in recent weeks:

The committee is still in session, they have not yet voted, yet the UCP caucus has released this… This isn’t democracy, it’s authoritarian theatre. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Pathetic..."

All the discussion about reading in school made me want to chronicle all the books I did read in school, so I decided to make a zine of all the books I ever read while in school specifically for school, as far back as the children's books I remember reading as a tiny child in school.

This is a huge week for people who consider the Tri-state Area New York New Jersey & Pennsylvania

The city of Paterson, New Jersey, celebrated Palestine Day last Sunday, May 17, by unveiling its new Gaza Square on Main Street with a sculpture by artist and activist Kyle Goen.

Snaptic looks like a promising game in development. A Y2K-themed puzzle platformer that feels like it has more than a little bit of ENA inspiration going on. Great gameplay trailer - vibes hit just right. Seems it's funded on Patreon and doing well there, too. www.patreon.com/cw/snaptic

A 40-year-old Rikers Island detainee died Tuesday morning, marking the second death in city jail custody in less than 24 hours, THE CITY has learned.
