I’m a sucker for ‘what you would tell your younger self’ columns but this one by Anne Lamott brought me up short
www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...
I would have told my 30-year-old self that all the things I sought from the world - respect, safety, love, esteem - were not out there, and that experiencing those was going to be an inside job. I wasn't going to be able to achieve, own, lease, marry well enough to feel fulfilled for any length of time. That I could stop dancing as fast as I could trying to fill up on all the prizes and rewards and glitter that the world had to offer - because it was outside of me, it was not of lasting value.

Close-up portrait of a tiny bird with dazzling iridescent plumage in shades of turquoise, emerald green, sapphire blue, and hints of purple. The bird has a remarkably long, thin beak and is perched on a slender moss-covered branch. Its feathers have a shimmering, jewel-like quality that changes color with the light, and its small, dark eye is clearly visible against the vibrant head feathers.

Typically, they spend their time watching the water to find prey, but it's a good idea to check out the surroundings to make sure they don't become prey.

A small bird with stunning blue-green iridescent back feathers perched attentively on a thin branch. Its striking appearance features a crisp white belly and chest, contrasted by a dark cap on its head. The bird's most remarkable feature is its long, straight, dagger-like bill perfectly designed for hunting. Delicate white speckles adorn its wings, creating a beautiful pattern against the teal background. The soft green bokeh of tropical foliage creates a perfect natural setting for this elegant forest dweller.

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA.

Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

I've waited 3 years to get a good shot of this Little Egret, it's proved elusive and camera shy, but sometimes you get lucky. @everyheron.bsky.social

Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to head over to a local comic book store and buy something outside of your normal purchasing habits. Something you heard was awesome, but haven’t tried yet. Something by a creator/s who you love, but is trying something new to you. #comics

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.
