This is the exact lighting they use for the pic to accompany a profile of a professor who got suspended because he kept using slurs in class as a supposed intellectual provocation.
I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Spouse and Youngest Child finally left the house for their activity. I got no sleep again last night, so I lay down to take a nap. Eldest Child got back home. TL;dr I’m having a quadruple espresso instead of a nap

jiminy's animal reviews: This cottagecore bug is an elephant hawk-moth (𝘋𝘦𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘳), so named because in their larval stage they resemble an elephant trunk. I feel like naming something for its juvenile appearance is a bit unfair, because this thing peaks 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 in adulthood. 🧵

FINALLY GOT IT!
I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.
Over 20,000 the past month alone.
Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"
In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:
Fish success story.
