I was laid off this morning from USFWS as part of the sweeping DOGE cuts to probationary employees across the Dept. of Interior. To say I'm devastated doesn't even scratch the surface-I'm losing my dream job working with pallid sturgeon on the Missouri River. Solidarity with all my fed workers. 💔🐟

While you're debating whether women firefighters can carry a man out of a fire, it's worth remembering that women also carry them off of the battlefield. Grow up.

Prisoners are some of the most vulnerable people in society and we justify abuse against them because for profit prisons are about retribution, not rehabilitation.
This is reprehensible.

Slender snipe eels are the most vertebrae containing vertebrates, stringing together around 750 spine bones into their 1.3 m of length. Their miniscule profile helps them hide. 🧪🌿🦑

@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?
