Absolutely delighted to read this piece today — it so succinctly sums up so many of my hesitations around (overuse of) AI tools, while also being realistic about more interesting questions to ask. More questions! More thinking! More being okay with not being sure! annievella.com/posts/findin...

I find the news very frightening right now, but one thing that helps me is noticing the birds all around me Do you want a reason to spend 10 minutes a day noticing your local birds? Then join me for this spring’s #TenMinMerlin, using the (free) app Merlin to notice birds. No experience needed! 1/5

The timing of the initial strikes is unusual. Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties. This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

A sunset view of shadows on a wall, and a pond of very reflective water below, mirroring what’s above. A shadow staircase comes out of the top left corner, then reflects back down in the water to the bottom left corner. A child-sized shadow figure peers down into the water from the stairs, and also up from the water in the reflection. On the right, an adult shadow figure wearing a hat holds up their hand like the “person tipping hand” emoji; their regular shadow legs and water shadow legs combine. Between the two figures is the shadow of a thin metal railing on the stairs that ends in a swoopy spiral at the bottom; you could hang something on it easily.

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015 Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

The calendar for the first three months of 2026, with today, Saturday, January 31, highlighted. February begins on Sunday and lasts for exactly four weeks, ending on Saturday.

First Dutch bike accident since we got here a few years ago, thanks to compacted snow that went icy. My US brain was like “gotta get out of road immediately,” but of course cars behind me immediately stopped with plenty of room, several people checked on me, someone got my bike out of the road….

2026 is going to be a year of both horrors and victories, and I think many people, both on the left and liberals new to political activism, will struggle with the victories. Therapy has taught me it's important to inoculate yourself knowing you can't pretend how you'll respond when you win.

Hey Amsterdam! Zin om mee te zingen? Come for an evening singing workshop with my sweet queer choir — we rehearse in Dutch, but so much music is beyond language, if that's not your forte! 😉 En als je helemaal thuis voelt in het Nederlands, dan is het óók best wel fijn pride.amsterdam/event/worksh...

"I’ve looked at [the photos] multiple times today — I’ve been proud, I’ve been upset, I’ve been startled. Seeing our work repurposed in a moment of collective action was humbling and powerful," RIOS co-CEO Andy Lantz told @dianabudds.bsky.social

How these hot pink chairs became a symbol of the L.A. protests

The architecture firm Rios designed the street furniture for Gloria Molina Grand Park to have “endless configurations.” They never could have imagined it would be used as a shield.

Waking up to devastating news for British trans people facing a truly awful ruling from their Supreme Court. This follows a manufactured campaign of lies, panic, and ignorance based on a playbook now unfolding in the US. I know the fight continues, but my heart is with you today and always
