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"

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

All measles vaccines given in the U.S. after 1976 were effective, and most people who received at least one dose are considered immune. See website for list of people who should not get the vaccine. 4/4 mcpress.mayoclinic.org/living-well/...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Prosecute the ones who pulled the trigger. Prosecute the ones who gave the orders. Prosecute those who cover for the above. ABOLISH ICE

I was so overwhelmed and agitated today at work, my forehead hair curled.

In a weird coincidence, the media company I was angry at this morning is on their way to interview one of the researchers I work with. I will keep my professional mouth shut, hopefully.

Home sick, so running through the 90’s Batman movies. Hollywood understood non-binary expression: Two-Face used “us”, “our” to describe themselves in Batman Forever, 1995.

Resist the urge the diagnose people. Especially strangers. It is genuinely off-putting to do/say/express something and then some dipshit throws in their search engine medical opinion. Sometimes people are just who they are, not everything is a symptom.

Memory unlocked! My alarm was the radio turning on to an alt station (Boston). A pre-recorded group of kids yelled “WE’RE NOT LEAVING TILL WE’RE HEAVING” to start the day.

Attention is the last currency we have. If you are sick of the discourse, you don’t have to add to it. “I hate this article!” as it gets passed around, racking up hate-attention clicks. Look at my beautiful grandma baby cow trash panda instead! There is peace in curating for your eyeballs.

In mid-scritching, I hold my dog’s snout to face the camera. She is 13 or 14, walks about a mile a day, and she enjoys rolling around on her back in the yard.

Vote yes! Passing the MN constitutional amendment on this year’s ballot will increase funding to all public schools including about $1,000,000 per year to Minneapolis Public Schools. Don’t skip it - leaving this question blank is the same as voting no. (PS - Edison scored!)

I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW

The Minneapolis Police Department is sucking the goddamn life out of our city. Crime going up? More money for cops! Crime going down? Must be doing something right - more money for cops! It never ends, and here we are.

🧵 September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. Every SIX MINUTES someone is diagnosed with one of the five gynecologic cancers: Cervical, Ovarian, Uterine/Endometrial, Vaginal, Vulvar? While there is routine screening for cervical cancer there is no routine test or screen for the other types. 1/
