A wildlife photographer joked that his wife managed to capture an extraordinary photo that outdid him: a European eagle owl, one of the world's largest, perched on his camera lens.

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.

I will never take anyone seriously who says we need to raise the birth rates or face human extinction but it’s especially sickening now that the oligarchs have chosen to hoard even more resources by cutting off aid and killing millions of kids in the process

My bad. I posted that Suicidal Tendencies released their self-titled album 32 years ago today. It’s actually 42 years ago today.

These workers provide essential services for their communities day in and day out. Philadelphia doesn’t run without them.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases.
Anyone upset about this should consider the following:
If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?
Or just the brown people?

Just heartbreaking: across the frontlines, homes are being emptied. Not by choice, but because they have to be.
I know this because we lost ours. Our family home, where birthdays were celebrated, meals shared — gone. Russians moved in. I can’t go back. It’s stolen.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.
That’s what you voted for?

A very simple thing you can do is stop linking to the NYT.
I know they do some good reporting but they are also actively upholding facism and working to subvert democracy and shaping your world view.
It is more work but it is better if we start starving harmful institutions.
