#SmallBirdSaturday A female Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus) with her lighter colored eye, working over the crab apple tree near an abandoned orchard. Very small, but with outsized charm 📷🪶✨
An extremely small bird, usually seen in groups with a handful to many individuals. Combination of tiny size, round body, and overall gray-brown color, with stubby bill and long tail distinctive. They were also looking over the blackberry vines trailing through the crab apple I believe looking for bugs.

“The ocean is transforming before our eyes.” The world’s oceans have absorbed about one-third of the carbon dioxide that humanity has spewed and much of the heat from accumulating greenhouse gases. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use
The injection of thermal energy comes amid an increasing rise in sea levels and continuing acidification

Golden-crowned Kinglet This is a very small songbird in the family Regulidae that lives throughout much of North America. Tiny, hyperactive songbird usually found in conifer trees. Look for black stripes on the head and bold wing pattern. 📸: @mikullashbee

Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #LongBeak, birds with long beaks. #IndianPondHeron 📸Rafi's Capture @rafiscapture.bsky.social
Beautiful large bird rises out of the water with a fish in its mouth; successful catch! Its markings are rich gold, white, and black wings. Its head and chest are tan with black patterned stripes.

Rico Charges @NoChorus

Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up.

My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people

If USA Today is indeed unilaterally putting source interviews in some sort of database, in their entirety, allowing them to be cherry-picked by other reporters—and *AI*(!!)—that is journalistically indefensible and no one should ever talk to them again. Is this true? Is it Gannett wide?

the problem with pursuing a public career after having done potentially catastrophic harm to someone is less in the obfuscation of it all than in your acceptance of the likelihood that the person you harmed may see your face, and hear about you, and see people praise you, again and again and again
