Let's talk about the aircraft carriers of the animal world, the Common Loon (Gavia immer), native to Canada & the northern US.

The chicks are born precocial, meaning they can swim moments after hatching, but hitch a ride on a parent for two reasons...

A photo of a spread blue feral pigeon with feathered legs and toes, outside on a railing, directly facing the viewer. She is fluffy, round, and due to the angle looks very angry

I just saw the most heartwarming gathering of people who spent the last 5 months secretly making a video for someone's birthday. They must be so loved.

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
flashfennec.bsky.social Trishka Valtear @flashfennec.bsky.social · 9d
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)

There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Utahraptor for today's #DrawDinosDaily. These guys feel so much like the Cretaceous equivalent of a lion to me - big, powerful, and fast.

🎨 #SciArt #PaleoArt #dinosaurs
Illustration of a Utahraptor, a large bulky dromaeosaur with a chunky head, deep belly, thick hindlegs and long tail. It is covered in a coat of coarse feathers, including pinnate wings on the arms. It has a dark crown, white supercilium, red irises, dark auriculars, and a cream "mane" of longer neck hackles, then a dark back and tail. It is posed as if looking to the side and down slightly while walking at a 3/4 angle toward the viewer, one foot raised.

a digital painting, showing an extremely detailed strawberry patch, though only one tiny red strawberry is seen in the bottom left corner. there are occasional pops of yellow buds of new flowers, but over the image is angular shapes of leaves in various shades of green, yellow, and blue.

Ominous bird valentines.
A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

A female Hooded Merganser communicating a message to a male Hooded Merganser. I think she wanted to go for a walk, because soon after this they were strolling along the icy shoreline together.

Digital painting of a Mega Dragonite, dueling with a Mega Altaria. The shiny mega Dragonite is wielding a spear with a curved blade, clashing against a white sword wielded by the mega Altaria. They are dueling in the sky, surrounded by seven other Altarias aiming to attack the Dragonite, and there thunderclouds brewing in the backdrop.

You won't find a more important piece than this -- an absolute must-read from the woman who wrote the book on concentration camps
andreapitzer.bsky.social Andrea Pitzer @andreapitzer.bsky.social · 6d
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
Building the camps
The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

I did it! So proud of my new banner/profile pic.
I had the idea for a few weeks now.
Lining these two up was a nightmare though and I'm sure it probably won’t work on all devices but ehh
