This sweetie got wrangled to the vet today to have a truly gnarly wound cleaned out and stitched up. This photo is pre-surgery; she is now wearing the dreaded Cone of Shame. She’s still really zonked out; I have separated her from Max and am sitting with her for a bit.

Trump’s Sept. 4 order gives Interior Secretary Doug Burgum 90 days to decide whether gray and Mexican wolves have recovered enough to delist or downgrade. At least 319 Mexican gray wolves lived in the wild at the end of 2025, and conservation groups say that’s too few and too genetically narrow.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

The black robin, once down to just a single breeding pair, wins NZ bird of the year
Fondly known as the ‘goth’ of New Zealand’s bird world, the black robin now has a population of 350 adults thanks to a pioneering breeding programme The black robin, once the world’s rarest bird before an extraordinary conservation project brought it back from brink of extinction, has been crowned New Zealand’s bird of the year, after record voter turnout. The tiny bird is found only in the Chatham Islands, 800km east of mainland New Zealand. Called kakaruia in Māori and karure in Morirori – the language indigenous to the Chathams – the birds are also fondly known as the “goth” of New Zealand’s bird world, for its striking black plumage, black eyes and a little pointy black beak.
