there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Just eat chocolate cake, it'll make you feel better than a beer would. Unless you eat the whole thing... In one setting... Again.

Yes, it is a war crime. And yes, Gaza was/is the blueprint for future atrocities.

Targeting water supplies is a war crime I am pretty sure (I mean not that they care about that). It’s horrifying. They are emboldened by carrying out an ongoing genocide in Gaza with impunity

Among other more obvious horrors, this war is closing our window to mitigate climate breakdown

A mostly green frog is sitting among green plants. The frog has a line starting at the snout, going below the eye and along the lower side of its body and another one starting behind the eye and along the body between the side and the back. Though not 100% visible in the picture, it's safe to assume that similar lines are found on the other side of the body. The frog is covered in large dark spots. It is looking to the right in the picture.

Northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens).

Max. size 11 cm (4.3").

Found in southern Canada and northern, central and southwestern United States.

Considered Least Concern by the IUCN.

Digital drawing of silhouetted F35 jet dropping four Mark-84 bombs (also known as 2,000-lb bombs), black on an intense red background. The jet is in the upper quarter of the image, pointing left on a slight upward diagonal. The bomb closest to the jet is almost parallel to it, and each subsequent bomb is progressively larger, and slightly more rotated than the one above it. On the silhouette of the jet and the two largest bombs are these words in white block letters: “STOP THE U.S. WAR MACHINE.” The “S” in “U.S.” has been substituted with a U.S. dollar-sign.

Water rushes down a central channel forming small pools through very worn and rounded dark rocks. Near the back of the photo green lichen and moss grows on top of some of the rocks.

Water #flowing down the time worn rocks of Garganta de los Infiernos, or Throat of Hell in #Jerte, #Extremadura. So called apparently because of the noise it makes in full spate when it's swollen with snow melt.

Finally got my Nova Scotia Long-eared Owl. The hardest of the resident species to see, this bird at Pubnico in Yarmouth County was the first twitchable one, ever. Species 394 and such a fabulous show-off We kept our distance, it often didn't. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #NovaScotia

A round beige and white shorebird stands on a jetty on one leg. Its head is tucked back around between its wings in the back but its eyes are still watching the camera.

A lovely big fence lizard clings to the peeling paint on the corner of a house. The tip of his tail is behind the corner of a security company sign leaning against the house.

Rosy-faced lovebird. Here are a pair of small mainly green birds with sweet pink faces.. These are peeking out of a nesting cavity in a saguaro 🌵 cactus.

These charming birds are an invasive species to the Phoenix, AZ area...I lived in Mesa, AZ for many years and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them. I always heard them first, and wow, they are fast! 💚🪶

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

Yes, sorry should have named it. A child died of it last year from an infection she contracted when she was too young to be vaccinated.

I don't think it's extreme to say anti-vaxxers killed her

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
