Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Living in #Tennessee means learning new cultural traditions & celebrations. Like today being “Dolly Day” in recognition of it being 9-2-5. 💯 approve & next year I’ll know to wear pink 😉💕

We have *six days* left until the Academy of Natural Sciences, North America's oldest Natural History museum, is scheduled to close it's doors. Here are *six reasons* why we cannot - and will not- let that happen.

I have some balance/mobility issues that lead to clumsiness. I want to be kind to the environment and save money. Thus, I ride a trike. Do I look like an adult toddler? Maybe. Do I give any 🖕😝🖕? Nope.

My Lectric XP2 trike when it first arrived.

First day of riding. Very awkward. Very me.

Too many veterans come home to isolation, food insecurity, homelessness, and struggles with their mental health. Together, we must serve those who have served our country by delivering a life of dignity to veterans across the five boroughs.

The pilot of our artist residency is underway. We caught and observed ctenophores, observed various species of crustaceans, and went out last night to observe nocturnal creatures of the shore. At the end, each artist will be contributing to a comic anthology about the creatures we witnessed!
