"OMG"
"This seems bad"
"👀"
"Well that's not good"
with no context
& that is INCREDIBLY ANXIETY-INDUCING

I've heard from my friends in Churchill that the ice has arrived and the bears are finally heading out to break their over 150 day fast. (this photo is from a few weeks ago) Hudson Bay is still a long way from fully frozen, but at least they can get out and start hunting. #BearSeason2025 #Mammals 🌿

Let's put these 2 headlines from this afternoon together.
They “finish off” suspected cocaine traffickers hanging helplessly off boats in the open ocean.

Bighorn sheep
Crow
Whitetail deer
Redtail hawk

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are!

Please enjoy this rumpled heron who obviously had a wingding of an evening last night, and also SK's #AltTextExcellence 🏆!
