Saw the phrase "consolidate your caring" related to how to focus and make change in a world constantly trying to detail you with endless disasters, and I really like that one.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

A note re:grousing I'm seeing on the skyline: Ethical journalists conducing careful investigations need to interview a lot of people, do a lot of fact checking, and go through legal review. Not seeing reporting about the horrific sexual abuse in SV right now doesn't mean people aren't working on it.

The vast majority of the thousands of books being banned every year–the dozens *every single day*–are simply forgotten about or not talked about at all. 96% or more never get a moment of attention for being banned because they've simply disappeared.

And Mastercard and Paypal haven't let up in their attempt to force websites to ban LGBTQ media and users. It has not gotten any easier to make a living off queer books. Mark Twain doesn't need the help. Thousands of queer, indie books you haven't heard of do.

For more than 160 uninterrupted years, federal law has prohibited troops wherever an election is held. The Insurrection Act’s grant of authority to the president does not supersede Section 592’s prohibition on armed people at the polls, writes @lorenvoss.bsky.social and @nkorpett.bsky.social.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.
