@quartzcity Toro y Moi's album Live From Trona is great.

@ai6yr Max, shown in the photo, was a Suberb Owl who lived to age 27, and an avian ambassador to the community. He lives on in the memories of a generation of elementary school students . His memorial and celebration of life was last night - and the stories told about him were...superb. https://www.sbnature.org/visit/calendar/8990/max-the-great-horned-owl-celebration-of-life

#3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #Procreate
Sunday, Feb 8 ⛷️

1. Expecting a Costco rotisserie chicken fly-by soon (delivered by my visiting DIL, who’s been caring for her injured mom this week).
2. Finished a digital painting awhile ago & hated it, but after letting it marinate, I’ve decided I kinda like it. Original art, not resourced from a photo, for a change.
3. I’ve had doors & windows open for the last three sunny days — but rain is in the forecast.
4. Bonus: All these little hummingbirds, sparrows, finches, tits, jays, doves, & squirrels that come to feed make me HAPPY! 😬

This is long but also 🔥

@Lizette603_23 Right there with you.

A new app launched to compete with Twitter, bluesky, mastodon…is publishing csam.
This is getting so normalized, because nothing is being done about it in terms of protections, regulations, or enforcement of what already is illegal, and consequences to protect the children. Only predators get protection.
It’s a fucking free for all on children, and people will profit off it.
Every administration & government everywhere looked the other way & offered nothing to change anything.

Delicious dreams.. #Washy #Cat

@sundogplanets We appreciate all your hard work. ❤️

@SunnJax I feel for you. We're getting rain today, but it ain't much. And definitely too warm for snow in the mountains. Rain is good but snow is better.

A brilliant short story about “the Old Ones”, desert tortoises, and the scrappy people who monitor their well-being to prevent another extinction.

@Lizette603_23 Not sure. I used to watch, and I always preferred the Winter over the Summer. I think Lillehammer was some sort of high water mark for me. I've been steadily disengaging and disinterested since then. Maybe it's an old person thing.

@AnnaAnthro Piss off Peter Thiel.

This next part is important:

Defend the elections.
I know. I just said --.

Anticipate what they're going to do.
In areas of high interest (iow, not Berkeley), they're going to arrest/detain voters, surround polls, sweep up Black/brown voters based on 'immigrant' status, seize ballots, confront voters and vote watchers, leading to more disappearances.

Areas of high interest: NV, AZ, PA, GA, etc. -- y'all need to get ready.

Be the crackpot in the square and sound the alarm at local, county, and state levels.

And then organize. It's the same concept as Rapid Repose to protect neighbors. Now it's RR to defend the election -- and fucking fight the police state.

Poll workers and poll defenders unite.
It's your time to shine.

3/3

Now I gotta hear some Roseanne Cash.

Life is too short to make slop! We didn't get born to just regurgitate everybody's preexisting biases!

US history is a real undiscovered country. There's wild stuff that's been going on in our nation & shaping our politics that we just do not talk about. That's what's in here.
