If only California was its own country and Kamala won.
What an incredible looking creature.
Found only in the Galapagos Islands the marine iguana is the only marine lizard species in the world, they can dive as deep as 30m (98 ft) and spend up to 30 minutes at a time underwater

This made me laugh, which I needed today. Been crying over a new Monarch butterfly eclosing but not surviving. Say a prayer please all of these beautiful creatures that don't make it. And, if you can, plant some milkweed so they have the food they need to survive.
This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had no interest in being separated from her friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they're a package deal. The best news? It worked: They were adopted together. 14/10 for both

I would adopt this sweet pup in a heartbeat if I was able. Please please, can someone adopt her 💗
I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Nature is incredible 💚
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Grateful to have six Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed even if they don't become butterflies given how late it is in the season.

From ChatGPT: @brittwray.bsky.social — Generation Dread (2022) Wray writes about “living in two times at once — the present and a foreclosed future” and specifically links this temporal dislocation to climate anxiety, burnout, and trauma for climate professionals.
A while ago, I read a piece about how those working on climate crisis were simultaneously living in two tenses (the present and future) and sometimes even a third (the past). The author posited that living out of time like this was a cause of trauma.
Can someone remind me where I read that?

For years, I've wished that the planetary crisis got the same coverage as those in or running for office. Imagine where we'd be now if that had been the case.
I have lots of opinions about political journalism, but mainly I think there should be less of it. Less time devoted to scoops, speculation, who is winning, who is positioning themselves to win, etc. There are so few journalistic resources, and fewer all the time. Devote them to something else.

Expect to see this shot in all of the Year in Photos for 2025 and a likely contender for a Pulitzer.
What a photograph.

This song should be played at full volume whenever possible.
When Neil Young had his late 80s/early 90s resurgence—lord knows, WELD was constantly in my car's CD player—I always understood him to be one of the elder statesmen of rock.
In the video below, he's 47 years old, six yrs younger than I am right now.
Happy 80th birthday to one of the greatest.
