I always get excited when I get a good bug pic. This one is from my loofah gourds, which are *still* putting out new flowers heading into the fall. Love seeing all the pollinators doing their thing 🐝

Palestinian folk songs do more than entertain, they document occupation in real time. Serena Rasoul launches the Palestinian Folk Music Archive: a free digital collection of 800+ songs gathered from Palestinian families everywhere. Yezen Saadah reports: www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1659...

So my husband won't go see the Peasant Revolt movie with me because, in his words " I don't like watching football when I could be playing it instead. "

Trans people are not expendable. If the Dem running in your district doesn't support human rights for trans people, they don't support human rights at all. If anyone tries to shame you for believing in human rights, shame them right back. Oh, and don't vote for people who don't support human rights.

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

I genuinely think about this so much. Because it's the easiest thing to get wrong and also feels like the hardest thing to get right. And I definitely get it wrong way more than I'd like.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Ultraviolet Saturn (NASA, Hubble, 2003) - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/8LuCdh

This is an archive image from 2003, part of our "Think Pink" gallery, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month: www.flickr.com/photos/28634332@N05/sets/72157625045060125/
__________________________________________________________

One of a series, this ultraviolet image of Saturn was taken when the planet's rings were at their maximum tilt of 27 degrees toward Earth. Saturn experiences seasonal tilts away from and toward the sun, much the same way Earth does. This happens over the course of its 29.5-year orbit. Every 30 years, Earth observers can catch their best glimpse of Saturn's South Pole and the southern side of the planet's rings.

Between March and April 2003, researchers took full advantage to study the gas giant at maximum tilt, using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to capture detailed images of Saturn's Southern Hemisphere and the southern face of its rings.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

It feels like 90% of the "Men Left Behind" arguments boil down to "We used to have all the things and now we only have most of the things and that is discrimination against us because other people are allowed a few things."

Regular people want to pitch in and help each other. That is ultimately what taxes are good for, providing the group with resources to tackle big projects for the benefit of all. Never accept that it is normal to want to hoard individual wealth to the detriment of the group. Because it just isn't.

I love STEM, but the world grows poorer when we invest only in the engines of commerce and science, forgetting religions, the arts and the humanities that teach us why our progress matters. If we only fund what can be measured, we risk losing the very things that make life worth measuring.

This one is a must-read right here. "Because our choice is either we have a society in which we are allowed to be different from one another, or we don’t. And in the latter kind of society, a lot of us will be dead."

Call me crazy, but I think criticism of adaptation is simply an indication that there should be more adaptations. Like, not enough sex and rad food in Nolan's Odyssey? No problem! Let's do it again from a different perspective because that's literally how humans have always engaged with stories.

The real bummer about this post is that ordinary people are convinced that the principal antagonists in politics are other ordinary people, while the institutions that shape who gets heard, where money flows, whose votes are suppressed, and whose interests are represented are treated like scenery.

A theme in ICE shootings is putting their bodies in front of vehicles. This practice is dangerous for the officers and manufactures a reason for them to shoot drivers if they make one wrong move. One witness says the victim said, "I tried to stop" before dying. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/b...
