Full Moon Milky Way - From Bill (ridingrobots.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/2sxPeA4

Normally, on the night of the full moon the sky is completely washed out by the Moon's harsh, silver light. But during the lunar eclipse, as the Moon grew dim the stars reappeared and the landscape glowed red.

Pollinators are struggling in a lot of places, but no scientist can be everywhere at once. September 12 is Butterfly Big Day, a worldwide day of heading outside to notice local butterflies — and helping protect them through community science.

Oh my heart, it’s time to make the bubbles! 😍 (Ruddy Duck) #birds 🌿

Same duck vigorously slapping his chest feathers with his big blue bill, resulting in a big cluster of bubbles in the water in front of his chest. It’s very impressive. If I was a female ruddy duck, I would be in love with him.

Having completed the bubble making, the handsome duck has lifted his chin and is letting out a burp-like quack to punctuate the finale of the show.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Twitter thread in Spanish by José Mario de la Garza, a human rights lawyer in Mexico, translated using Google Translate:

1. Overthrowing a dictator sounds morally right. No one mourns a tyrant. But international law wasn't built to protect the good, but to restrain the powerful. That's why it prohibits force almost without exception: not because it ignores injustice, but because it knows that if each country decides whom to "liberate" by force, the world reverts to the law of the strongest.

2. The problem is not Maduro. The problem is the precedent. When military force is used to change governments without clear rules, sovereignty ceases to be a limit and becomes an obstacle. Today it is “overthrowing a dictator”; tomorrow it will be “correcting an election,” “protecting interests,” “restoring order.” The law does not absolve dictatorships, but neither does it legitimize unilateral crusades.

Cont’d:

3. The uncomfortable question is not whether a tyrant deserves to fall, but who decides when and how. Because history teaches something brutal: removing a dictator is easy; building justice afterward is not. And when legality is broken in the name of good, what almost always follows is not freedom, but chaos, violence, and new victims. The law exists to remind us of this, even when it makes us uncomfortable.

Maduro isn't the problem: he's the face of the problem. Removing him from power would be merely opening the door. Behind him is the machine: Rodríguez, Cabello, the military command, the operators of repression and plunder. If you only change the person at the top and leave the system intact, what follows isn't democracy: it's a reshuffling.

And there's something even more difficult: Chavismo didn't just capture institutions, it captured daily life. Economy, media, bureaucracy, employment, fear, favors, blackmail. A country can't be "de-Chavistaized" by decree or by an electoral miracle. The real transition begins when that network is broken without setting the country ablaze.

The challenge is enormous, and it's also a moral one: to unite without vengeance, but without impunity. Targeted justice for those most responsible, truth for the victims, guarantees that the rest will dismantle the system, and a plan for people to live again—not just survive. Because freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

An oldie that was partly inspired by a conversation with the great birder Laura Erickson. The name Bufflehead actually comes from the buffalo.

A comic titled Misheard Birds of North America. There's a ruffled grouse wearing ruffles, ribbons, and pearls. There's a pleated woodpecker wearing a pleated collar and skirt. There's a morning dove sitting on a coffee cup that says MONDAYS CAN KISS MY CLOACA. There's a greater and lesser scope, part duck part scope, with the lesser scope shorter. Finally, there's a buffalohead, a bufflehead with the head of a buffalo.
