Yes to joy and no to fascism. Reader, runner, music lover, and a sucker for animals, cute or not.

Coming in hot! Pan is a Krider's red-tailed hawk, a naturally occurring color variation noted for being very light to almost white. Wild red-tailed hawks come in an amazing variety of colors, from nearly black to bright white and a whole scale in between.
As an alum, I'm looking forward to hearing how my alma mater, which prides itself as a protector of free speech, is taking action on behalf of these students/fellow alums. @uchicagoalumni.bsky.social
Well *my* heart skipped a beat reading this epic review of THE CARTOONISTS CLUB in The Beat! 💜💜💜

Our country is, well... Here I provide a diversion. I am actively working to eliminate the over utilization of utilize in science writing. Use is a fine word. And, for the love of everything, we need to dump elucidate. This is science. You should always be working toward clarity...

Boy it sure would be a shame if this US government form asking you to dox teachers using DEI in classrooms were to be filled with complete absolute garbage. Sure would suck if their database was rendered completely useless. enddei [dot] ed [dot] gov
Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.
So pretty!
Luiz Rocha@coralreeffish.bsky.social · last yr.Baby Clown Coris (Coris aygula) are simply stunning. White is a rare color in fishes and the white/black/orange combination is simple and extremely beautiful at the same time. I've only ever seen one of these, in the Red Sea, need to come back to see more! #ichthyology

Terrific! What a cool project from @zoekellerart.bsky.social!
Zoe Keller@zoekellerart.bsky.social · 2y ago800+ drawings done! I just completed my four year ‘Commonly Observed Flora, Fauna and Fungi’ project by publishing all 50 state prints! I used iNaturalist to identify frequently spotted species in each state, rendered these species in pencil, and arranged the drawings into prints with species keys.
That face! I’m glad to see we haven’t lost this species, at least for now.

Tony Corsentino@notalegalrecord.net · 2y agoevery so often I feel compelled to point out that interlibrary loan is a goddamn miracle. If you have a library card and can wait a little while, you can have in your hands just about any book you want.* just because there’s going to be another library out there that says “Sure, we’ll send it.” 📚
Well today has been horrible for so many people maybe you also need to see that they feed the possums tiny king cakes at the New Orleans zoo
