a human in a white gown holds four puppies named perry, poppy, penny, and patrick. perry has his eyes closed and the other three pups look at the camera.

Tragically, this entire litter of puppies was dumped and has since contracted parvovirus at the shelter. We want to give them the best chance at surviving and thriving. They are very tiny but also very brave and you can help them below ❤️‍🩹

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Not a Grift — A Public Good: How Colorado Public Radio Serves Our Communities The White House tried to frame public media as a burden on taxpayers, we want to be clear about the independence and importance of public media.

One of the people seemingly deported to El Salvador unlawfully under the Alien Enemies Act had a court hearing scheduled for TOMORROW where he was going to present evidence that he was not a member of Tren de Aragua. Now he may be in an Salvadoran prison.

Due process matters.

We Finally Know Why Ancient Roman Concrete Was So Durable The ancient Romans were masters of building and engineering, perhaps most famously represented by the aqueducts.

Hello everyone! Here’s some of my art. Please don’t post without tagging me 🖤

Our favourite bickering siblings (of sorts), Sulwe (left) and Lenny (right), are constantly trying to outwit and outshine each other. They turn the midday milk feed into a fierce race to the finish line, stout legs pumping and ears flapping. It’s far too contentious to pick a winner so it's a draw!

Call me an idealist, but I just feel like breaking into the US treasury should be at least as hard as buying shampoo from a Walgreens.

If Punxsutawney Kitaen sees her shadow tomorrow that means 6 more weeks of rolling around on the hoods of Jaguars.

Do not open your door for ICE officials.

Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

Drinking may have given me cancer. The alcohol industry has worked hard to downplay it. The science is clear that alcohol raises the risk of breast cancer, but boozemakers have downplayed the link.

In light of today’s governmental warnings about alcohol causing cancer: “…as the evidence was becoming clear that women are disproportionately vulnerable to alcohol’s cancer risks, the industry mounted a campaign to get them to drink even more.“

Something to keep in mind for 2025

From this angle, little Lenny looks even smaller as he sticks close to his devoted nanny, Kiasa. She’s fully embraced her role, even staying out at night to be by his side! While Kiasa snacks on greens, Lenny stays tucked by her legs, a testament to the nurturing bonds within elephant families.

In the spirit of giving, if you have some disposable cash, consider a donation to the Homeless Advocacy Project. Part of what they do is help people get benefits targeted by "DOGE." It was already hard; it'll be even more of a fight going forward.

Agreed. And a Winston exception is usually just implied. 😘

But Winston MUST meet your dog before allowing YOU to pet him!

“Immigration 101” on chalkboard

“One misconception about undocumented immigration is that obtaining legal papers is as simple as, say, changing your address at the post office, and that immigrants remain undocumented due to a lack of trying. But nothing could be further from the truth.” americasvoice.org/blog/immigra...

A picture of cranberries with the words "Bog Peanuts, Motherfuckers"

I've just learned that cranberries are not actual berries and GODDAMNIT why are berries so full of lies and deceit, how hard is it to have fruit standards

Fuck it, I'm making the call here

Nothing is a berry anymore

Everything is a fucking legume now

Cranberries are Bog Peanuts

Deal with it
