Currently reading about how the FAA order cutting flights is causing airlines and passengers to scramble to figure out travel for work, for personal reasons, and for medical care.
Looking forward to an administration in the future that is boring, predictable, rational and not completely corrupt.

Elon ya tiene cientos de miles de cadáveres en su armario.
The shutdown of USAID has already killed hundreds of thousands of people.
It was also the most effective soft power organization on planet earth helping American interests across the globe.
This was a powerfully foolish thing to do, inhuman and cruel.

Looking for some nice images to use as the background on your computer? A few times a year I release images you can use. They cover a wide range of things from birds to landscapes to abstracts.

How is 2025 treating you?
Is your life better in 2025 than before?
Does 2026 promise to be any better?
Nobody I know would say 2025 has been a great year, and most of that pain has been inflicted because of the Republicans and Trump.
The GOP platform is chaos, fear, and pain.
Vote accordingly.

Between grants getting politically targeted and my lab’s building getting literally fucking bombed, 2025 is going great thanks
A device exploded inside the Goldenson Building in Harvard’s Longwood medical campus early Saturday morning, according to a message from the Harvard University Police Department to University affiliates.

Feeling crappy about the state of ...everything? Find a local food bank or pantry and see what they need. Some may need money, some may prefer food, and others may be desperate for volunteers. Giving is good for the soul and our neighbors.

Wonderful Anne McKinnel photograph of an egret and ibis. (I spent time photographing these two types of birds today, but got nothing like this.)
Photography keeps teaching me the same thing: there is beauty to find in whatever light you're given 🪶

The American Birding Association has a new mission statement!
Simply put: The American Birding Association (ABA) makes birding better by providing knowledge, sharing experiences, and building community.

the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series
