Are you SURE that's the best angle? Is it real, or is it just PIXELS? #dessert

The if I fits I sits strategy used to ensure I couldnt brush my teeth and had to let prince Shiru out.

Doomflutter interrupt- check Mother’s detail work out!

Sixteen attorneys general and a Democratic governor sued the Trump administration on Thursday to restore access to over $1 billion in federal pandemic relief aid for schools that was recently halted, saying that the pullback could cause acute harm to students.

From a little baby plant and carefully tending it in the dry months, I grew this echium in partnership with Mother Nature. The bees are ecstatic

SCOOP: The Trump administration has dismissed all health officials who oversaw care for some of the world’s most vulnerable people: more than 500,000 children and more than 600,000 pregnant women with HIV in low-income countries. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/h...

Agile Vocalist Season 4 final episode is out and it has a live performance at the episode end by my guest, Alex Taite. Great listen for history, opera, and music lovers who may not realize the influence of Black culture on their fav types of music. Find it anywhere you get your podcasts.

Anyone else out there crazy enough to look at a non-fiction book about an alternative paradigm and think to themselves: I could turn parts of that book into an interactive experience? No, just me and my arrogance? Ok cool. Cool!

Lost our beloved cat today. She was 19.5 years old. NOTHING's like those pet chapters! Your brain goes: so what the #$%^ have you done in those past TWENTY years? I am considering going back to blogging, on the same damn platform. Am I crazy? Anyone else got 'retro > let's go!' inclinations?

When the grape hyacinth you have in your front pots turns up in your back yard some 500ish feet and a bunch of stairs away! Isn’t nature awesome?

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing. The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Two billionaires who have no clue what NOAA does and why it matters are laying off weather forecasters. Our whole economy hinges on the weather. Meteorologists support wildland firefighters. They help planes & ships navigate. This is going to cost lives and property.

Talked about this on WK tonight. Hope you guys will read this whole harrowing thing. Despite what they say, they’re quite literally setting up tip hotlines for federal employees to report their coworkers for being queer.

I thought it was a good time to re-surface the energy of the Women's March in January 2017. I didn't have the health to march again this past January- many didn't. Many have fallen for the lies and empty promises. medium.com/@vampituity/...

We use to have presidents who went on state and national park tours to talk about conservation and the importance of maintaining the country’s public lands. www.sfgate.com/northcoast/a...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day from my boys:

I think the CTA here is: who will connect these experts with a distributed willing +trainable #citizenforce to take this work on and fund it independently & in no one central digital place save for the ring of #infosec s digitally around it.

Trump acknowledges he would have to clear unexploded ordnance to redevelop Gaza, but U.S. troops are prohibited by law from doing humanitarian demining missions and the State Dept. issued a global stop-work order to all the demining groups it funds www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

My boys all grown up. And the humble place they have to roam.

Three resources to help you raise your voice with your elected officials and address the crisis in our government right now.

Hey America, my Idiot Compatriots as I just called you. Pay attention and stay centered on what you care about. Your overwhelm and despair is THE GOAL.

Danke. Helfen Sie uns, uns vor unseren idiotischen Landsleuten zu retten. www.instagram.com/reel/DFhBKnz...

Just geeked out on Linda Ronstadt music inspired by the song Blue Bayou. So much for singers to listen to! 🎙️

There's an alternative to the social broligarchy emerging It’s really time for us to build without relying on these big platforms. And it’s entirely possible. rosie.land/posts/theres...

Dumb AND dangerous

AOC has raised over $90,000 in the past 24 hours for those impacted by the LA wildfires. Thanks to everyone who has chipped in so far. If you're able to support, here's a link that goes 100% to organizations on the ground: secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-la

Critically important for trust-building, rumor response, correcting the record. Reminds me of the CISA Rumor Control effort in 2020 but the screenshots really get the point across. All state emergency and public health teams need this. Elections officials realized they did after 2020.

One good way to help those impacted by the wildfires in California is by supporting the work of Josě Andrěs and World Central Kitchen. Chefs for California teams are on the ground right now providing hot meals for first responders and evacuees.

As fires have become more regular, spilling out of their typical season, they’ve undone many of the hard-fought gains in air quality up and down the West Coast. It will take more than a few local changes to clear the smoke away, @rossandersen.bsky.social reports.

And here it is. Trump's not even President yet. I know! Let's have border patrol agents pick the grapes!

Food, disease, pet ownership, Nature. The GREAT uniting paths to our common humanity. So, talk Shakshuka (sp?) to me.
