This is Buster. He has vitiligo, a rare and completely harmless genetic condition that causes skin and fur to lose pigment over time. It typically affects dogs in patches, but over the course of 2.5 years, he went from solid black to completely white. And it turns out he's handsome either way. 14/10

I photographed this great blue heron yesterday in Lighthouse Pond at the local refuge. It was very calm making the water like glass. I waited to see if I could get an in flight image but it was content where it was. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

big joel just uploaded a thing going into the Mr. Beast games, and I had no idea that the fundamental mechanics of it were so... evil

like the entire show and all its challenges hinge on this social dynamic of sacrificing yourself for strangers, or having them all hate you. it's every single game

Someone in the comments mentioned marble racing being more interesting and I ended up going down this rabbit hole of watching marble races and being astounded with how much more character literal inanimate objects were allowed to have compared to the contestants in the Mr. Beast games

I assure you this donkey has a body. I met her volunteering at Leilani Farm Sanctuary on Maui. A magical place that rescues abused and abandoned animals of all types. Goats. Ducks. Cats. Guinea pigs. Pigs. Chickens. Etc.

You shouldn’t finish every book you start.

Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs.

The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

I hope that bookstores never go away. Big or small. Same with libraries - just keep them. #booksky
