I haven't known what to say, and I live here, and used to live in that neighborhood (Bunch probably didn't know that there was a third police killing there in the 2010s--Michael Schumacher). MPD sucks, but it also sucks that we just seem to be used to this violence. www.inquirer.com/opinion/core...

Police killings like the death of Madison, Wis.’s Corey Ruiz, caught on gruesome video, are rising, but public outrage is not.

It's striking how subdued this Fourth of July has been. I was in grade school for 1976, and I remember there being a build-up the whole year, and it was a good vibe, at least for a kid. These people destroy everything they touch, though, so this year, it's just kind of sad.

Every spring my mom hangs a flower basket on the porch, and every spring house finches take it over for a nest. This year's first clutch was five eggs, and it looks like four have hatched.

A nest of house finch babies in a flower basket. It looks like there are four hatchlings and one egg left to hatch. The hatchlings are fuzzy and adorable.

So happy that Chris Taylor won! She was fantastic when she was my state rep, she's been a great lower-court judge, and she'll be a phenomenal supreme court justice. A few years ago, she was considered too far left to be a statewide candidate, but it seems things have shifted 🤞

It does not surprise me at all to learn that Jonathan Ross is a trainer. After Madison PD officer Matthew Kenny murdered Tony Robinson, they made him a trainer as well.

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Saw this guy hanging out by the tracks (I didn't want to bother him any more than I already had, so I went another direction)

A deer with antlers stands just out of a wooded area to the right (train tracks are just out of view to the left). He sees me but isn't overly concerned since I'm quite a ways away.

Lovely 🧵 about community and mutual aid, which isn't just helping one another shovel out after a blizzard but also protecting neighbors and even strangers from the gestapo

I love it when I get a wrong number text and they argue with me that I'm really that other person. So much for trying to be nice by letting the person know they should figure out their friend's real number. If blocking doesn't get the message across, at least I won't hear from this person again

Sorry, little ones, I have nothing for you to eat

Five finch babies beg for food. They're in a nest in a hanging flower basket (said flowers haven't survived the nesting situation). In the background are maple trees with leaves backlit by bright sunshine.

Snapping turtle working on the landscaping by the office entry (or building a nest)

A largish snapping turtle digs into the ground, probably to build a nest. She's surrounded by dirt and mulch, and above her head are pink petals dropped from a rose bush (not in picture)

Big time wild turkey action on the street this morning

Three tom turkeys on full display in the middle of the street. The foreground (including the turkeys) is in deep shade, and the background of trees and a school is in bright sun.

Three more turkeys a little later, milling around a house near the other three. They're also all puffed up.

The original three tom turkeys, now gleaming in the morning sun, still in the middle of the road.

The object of all this attention: one hen turkey considering her options. She stands on the sidewalk a short distance from the guys.

Breathing a sigh of relief that Crawford won the state supreme court race. That said, I'm really tired of Wisconsin spring elections being national news.

Good thread on how awful Reagan was. I was a teen in the 80s, & it was awful. I felt a constant dread that he was going to get us into a nuclear war. It was clear that all his policies only helped the rich. He couldn't have cared less about AIDS or anyone not like him. His speeches sucked.

The org I work for often needs to draw info from the fed govt for our own reports, and we editors double check usage. Several weeks ago, I checked the NIH's guidelines on race and national origin and left the tab open; today I went to that tab, and the info was gone--replaced with "access denied."

The head of a grey tabby cat with white accents sits in a box that is inside another box. The cat in the boxes is on top of a bookshelf. The room behind has one cream wall and one light purple wall with various pictures hanging on them.

This snow-dusted trailer hitch looks remarkably like a bull's face to me

Close-up photo of the back of a trailer dusted with snow. The arrangement of hooks, chains, and trailer hitch give the appearance of a bull (hooks look like horns, chains look like chin, ring looks like nose, snow on the apparatus connects it all).

It's long past time for Leonard Peltier to be granted clemency and released from prison. Even the prosecutor admits that the case doesn't hold up. Good on Sen. Brian Schatz for speaking up on this travesty and calling for Biden to take action. ictnews.org/news/leonard...

Nine years and two days ago, I sat through a committee hearing on a bill that would have banned trans kids in Wisconsin schools from using the bathroom of their choice. People came from all over the state to oppose the bill--including from very conservative areas. The bill didn't go any further.

PSA to remember to use alt text when you post anything other than text (I'm trying to get better at it). In your settings, under Accessibility, you can set it so that an image won't post without alt text.
