I can’t wait to show this to my 4 year old in the morning - he loves to act out sperm whale and giant squid encounters in the bath and now he can see it FOR REAL LIFE
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

This is a photo I took a few years ago of a White-throated Sparrow in the snow at my house. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I was taking this shot.

It's my birthday today so the rules say that you have to repost my artwork.🥳 (They do! You can look them up!)
(The rules don't say that also you have to wishlist my upcoming spy puzzle game but if you're into thinky puzzle games, I hope you'll consider doing so as a birthday gift!) s.team/a/3406690

I was just singing a hearty rendition of Gossip’s “Standing In The Way of Control” and my 4 year old asked me “can you keep it down” 🫠 and I said “EXCUSE ME?!”
Turns out he was doing a sticker book and the page kept lifting up, so he was asking me to keep the page down while he put a sticker on it
