I can’t wait to show this to my 4 year old in the morning - he loves to act out sperm whale and giant squid encounters in the bath and now he can see it FOR REAL LIFE
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

This is a photo I took a few years ago of a White-throated Sparrow in the snow at my house. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I was taking this shot.

Tip for artists and photographers here: If your intention is to share your work widely, then you will want to add alt-text to your photos. There are tons of people out there who want to follow you, and re-post your beautiful work, but won't if it lacks alt-text.
Do yourself a favor, add alt-text!

I was just singing a hearty rendition of Gossip’s “Standing In The Way of Control” and my 4 year old asked me “can you keep it down” 🫠 and I said “EXCUSE ME?!”
Turns out he was doing a sticker book and the page kept lifting up, so he was asking me to keep the page down while he put a sticker on it
