Absolutely incredible turnout at the #Albuquerque #NoKings march.

Photo doesn’t come close to doing it justice. Peaceful and joyful, people have the power.
A crowd of thousands of peaceful protesters stretches down Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Women would not be where we are in science were it not for Jane Goodall. And science would not be what it is today were it not for Jane and all the women who follow in her footsteps. Thank you, Jane.

Brb just checking “BACKYARD FOX OOOH BIG STRETCH” off my 2025 bingo card 🤩
A young grey fox stretches with both front paws all the way forward on the ground. She’s also yawning.

nobody panic there’s a fox in the yard (I am panicking in the best way possible)

These are New Mexico’s public lands.
A rocky protrusion glows in the evening sun, rising over the lava fields of El Malpais. Vivid yellow and pink wildflowers cling onto a rocky precipice in the Sandia Mountains, with Albuquerque visible below in the distance. A peaceful creek with scattered stones flows through a lush, green meadow under a striking grey sky A field of native grasses under a fiery sunset, with a small volcanic plug rising in the background

These are New Mexico’s public lands.
A creek with small rapids running through a lush meadow surrounded by conifer forest. The sky is bright blue with puffy clouds reflected in the water. A bright yellow orange swath of Aspens turning in the fall fills the frame, extending over mountain ridges into the distance. Bright yellow wild sunflowers fill a green field with El Morro national monument rising in the distance. The sky is blue and full of puffy clouds. The Sandia Mountains, with a rocky foreground dropping off to green ridges full of trees, under a sky of wispy clouds

@krqe.com is this a joke? This is a blatant misrepresentation of the scale of this protest. There were easily hundreds of people at the protest by 10:15, 45 minutes BEFORE it officially started. I’ve seen it estimated at 8,000-10,000. Do better.

Timeline cleanse here is Sally Lilith checking on her babies. She made them herself (bladder snails are hermaphroditic and can self-fertilize) and is very proud (I’m not anthropomorphizing a snail, you are).

Wake up babe new snail just dropped. Fully formed, out of nowhere? I’m perplexed but I love her. Her name is Victor.

Meet Sally the snail! She showed up in my fish tank this morning and has been exploring her domain (she’s the only critter in the tank so far)
