I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

This lovely osprey landed outside my patio and posed quite perfectly just a few minutes ago

A photo of an osprey (white body, dark brown wings, dark stripe on face, slightly curved beak) perched on an upward pointing branch on a stark blue sky background. The bird's body faces forward with head slightly to the right.

I enjoyed the best pressed Cuban sandwich I've had in a long while from a gas station nearby that also sells bait and boiled peanuts. It's not allllllll bad here in FL

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.

But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.

It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

A photo taken just after sunrise at the beach, with the sun centered just above horizon. A thin cloud covered the middle portion of the sun, which is on a dark orange-red sky. Two pelicans fly toward right of frame.

A general thank you to /skincareaddiction Redditors for debunking the claims all the miracle skin care products are advertising to me rn on IG.

That said, anyone have a miracle does-it-all skincare product?

(no, I will never learn)

Ah, do you ever look back on a viral video you worked on forever ago just to take a look at the recent comments only to see this lololololol
A YouTube comment (black text on a white background) that reads: "To much time on your hands. This is possibly the best example of masturbation without porn humanity has to offer"

Also, got to hang out with this buddy while waiting for the rocket launch. A willet, I think?

A very cool Space Coast afternoon: Got to watch NASA's #ESCAPADE mission lift off on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. Congrats to all involved!

🚀 As we wait for the next CME — and maybe more aurora action — here’s a look at what’s racing toward Earth! ⚡️ This eruption and CME blasted out with yesterday’s X5.2 flare, complete with a powerful shock and particles hitting the cameras. Fingers crossed 🤞 and skies clear! 🌌

I stumbled across a very cool bookstore in my neighborhood only to promptly discover it's closing due to a new landlord/owner retiring. Anyway, I've been hella unemployed and depressed for over a year...so, is this my sign to become a bookshopkeep?

Mood: dramatic sky

#photography #beach
A photo taken at the beach on a cloudy mid-morning. The top two thirds of the photograph is of a dramatic sky, with a dark cloud bank just above the horizon. Fluffier clouds cover the rest of the sky, letting some light in. Very low waves roll in below, with wet sand showing in the bottom right of frame.

Here's my #GARtwork for #GarWeek 2025. I call this markers on paper composition “Under the Surface.” It’s inspired by the alligator gar’s magical smile + the power of #scicomm.

Thank you to @garlab.bsky.social,
@solomonrdavid.bsky.social, OKWildlifeDept, + all involved in #GarWeek2025

#sciart
An abstract, colorful marker interpretation of a fish with a very long nose with many sharp teeth. The illustration is heavily yellow with a rainbow effect around most to the roughly painted lines. It's bright and the essence of an alligator gar (long nosed fish) is distilled in frenetic warm color choices. Jagged lines mimic the gar's sharp teeth and a repeated eyeball pattern draws attention to the fish's face.

A photo of a small, foot (or so) tall heron, a brown and green bird with yellow eyes and a sharp beak. The bird faces right, showing off a very long, outstretched neck. The bird's top of head plumage is black and sticks up like a mohawk.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
