I posted my favorite mushroom photo I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken thousands!) when I first joined, but I didn’t know about #fungifriends yet, so I’m reposting it. Waxcap. #naturephotography #forestfloor

Speechless.

Also very clarifying.

Dems need to get their heads screwed on straight. These are not voters that can be swayed.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

So thankful for my Bluesky family!! Yall celebrate my wins with me, & grieved alongside me through my losses. Animal rescue can be isolating & heavy, & can shine a light on the worst of humanity. Y’all help me see the best of it. Always so grateful for yall.
Happy Thanksgiving from camp carter.

What fucking workload?

When was the last time a Republican successfully introduced, negotiated for, and advanced viable policy? When was the last time a Republican lawyer belonging to a government designed by and built for lawyers tried to write needed legislation for the good of the 99 percent?

A fungus photo a day: Usually, it is the gills on a mushroom that are fancy but the stipe on this Amanita Pantherina is all kinds of fancy! Cap below. (More photos on FungiFanaticFinds on Instagram)

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

This mailer being sent out in #NY17 is WILD.

All of the wording about Mike Lawler is technically accurate, but hoo-boy the design choices here are something to behold.

Definitely zoom in and read for yourself.

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.
Boycott Campaign Targets Companies Tied to ICE Ahead of Black Friday
The Not With My Dollars campaign takes aim at Amazon, Whole Foods, Dell, Microsoft, Home Depot, Spotify, and Target.

These kind of takes make me absolutely mental. She had a relationship with a colleague that ended before indictments even dropped. She was targeted by a defense team that included two married attorneys.

The whole thing was a fcking setup against a Black woman DA with the courage to indict Trump.
DA Fani Willis had a once-in-a-lifetime case, the most important of her career: a chance to criminally prosecute a lying president who tried to intimidate people into overturning the 2020 election.

She screwed up.

And now her replacement has killed it.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
