*whispers* it would actually be okay if libraries were "just" about books

Sunwapta Falls is just one more spectacular stop (among many) along the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. #photography #landscape #scape #mountains #waterfalls #WaterfallWednesday #ECK #roadtrip #Jasper #SunwaptaFalls

Congrats to those who got them all - Green-winged Teal, Mallard, Northern Shoveler and Ruddy Duck! #birds

Here’s how South Carolina beat back a measles outbreak: “Measles vaccinations were the most effective single containment tool”

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

Timeline cleanse: Caturday edition. 🖤🧡🤍🖤

I don't think I've posted about him here before??? but yeah, I recently made my own Old Speedwagon nui~~🥰🥰🥰 100% handmade, no sewing or embroidery machines involved

Hey, hey, it's MAY DAY. You know what to do... No School! No Work! No Shopping! #TaxTheOligarchs

This trio of juvenile green herons continue to expand their territory and learn how to be adults! I saw this adult try to urge the juveniles to move and extend their necks as they ready to hunt on their own ZOOP TRAINING! What a gorgeous morning to observe this family 📷🌿🪶

You have to admire her determination.

Today was beautiful. Gorgeous fluffy purple and pink clouds with Gold lining for sunset. Perfect blend of warm sun and cool breezes. Bald Eagles dancing together in the sky. Six Bunnies chasing each other in circles and playing leap frog. A couple of endangered Cayuga ducks waddling home. Cute cute!

“Hey look, the humans got something right!” Osprey were once in danger of disappearing but conservation efforts brought them back. Thank goodness, just look at these charmers #birds 🌿

Imagine making AI slop when pileated woodpeckers already exist. 🪶

Hmm... If I'm not mistaken, there should be coyote pups somewhere nearby. #nature #wildlife 🐡

I hiked out to a sinkhole that hosts hundreds of alligators and stumbled across a rather surreal surprise: a grand gathering of #Birds.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Chaos in the bird feeder this morning. My two squirrel buddies decided to tolerate each other again so I grabbed my camera. A third tried to get in on the action and these crazy photos ensued. I promise no squirrel was injured. All of this happened in the space of seconds. #Mammals 🌿

The sweetest little Blue Boys have showed up. This adult male won't hang out and will look for splashier habitat to start his showboating. Indigo Bunting.

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Timeline cleanse!

Timeline cleanse with a view.

Chloe is studying the computer monitor, carefully evaluating photographs I had taken earlier in the evening. #HappyCaturday! #cats #torties

In March, we convened Indigenous collaborators from Canada and Latin America for a North-South knowledge exchange on nature, sharing lessons, stories, and imagining a better future for birds. Thanks Conserva Aves, @naturecanada.bsky.social da.bsky.social, collaborators, & @globalaffairs.canada.ca

I had missed getting to see Virginia Bluebells when I lived in different part of the country. I found out they were growing locally but couldn’t find them so I went to an area I knew they were well established to enjoy them. The violets were out in full force, too.

Doomscrolling? Why not take a short break and watch some nice White-tailed Deer browsing. Unclench your jaw, take a free deep breaths, pretend you're a deer who can't read the news every evening

For the music nerds. Long live the archive.

There are currently 94 #kakapo chicks alive, with 59 on Anchor, 22 on Whenua Hou, at least 10 on Te Kākahu and 3 in hospital. We lost a chick to a freak flooding of a nest earlier this week on Anchor. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

I see it's #portfolioday

This piece is (rightfully) going bananas. If you're reading this or sharing it, please ALSO know you can be a hero to protect libraries. All you need to do is write your House and Senate representatives AGAINST HR 7661. Here's what it is and what to do: bookriot.com/hr7661-advan...

"The nationally averaged precipitation total for 2026 to date (see Fig. 5 below) is an ominous one: a mere 4.79 inches. That’s the lowest value on record for any January-to-March interval, including such notoriously dry periods as the Dust Bowl of the 1930s." Yikes

I feel bad catching him in such an awkward moment. Here’s the Eastern Towhee looking a little less goofy #birds 🌿

Just a reminder that we can fund science, and save the earth, and feed everyone, and have health care and housing too. All those things are within our reach, together.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

We can't have 80 yr old presidents, Who can destroy the world then just die and not be punished for or deal with the mess

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII
