Many of the chickens rescued from the Petaluma Poultry Slaughterhouse had pododermatitis (infected feet). After they were rescued, their feet were bandaged with padding to help them heal. #RightToRescue #PerdueTrial

I did this painting a few months after my mother died. I would have these overwhelming moments, somehow forgetting she was gone, only to be reminded. Almost 5 years later and it still happens.

Can’t get any more delicious than Trump losing the #NobelPeacePrize to an anti-fascist Venezuelan woman that’s fighting against people just like him….great choice by the committee!

Congratulations María Corina Machado 💪

Chicago tire shops are excellent.

Two-story fram building decorated in black and white stripes with a red, green, and white sign that says Jose's New & Used Tires & Rims.

One-story orange brick building with a stepped parapet wall with an arch in the center. The door is in the center, and above it is a yellow square with a hubcap mounted on it. On either side of the door are two tires, painted yellow attached to the wall below yellow and black signs in English and Spanish.

One-story brick tire shop painted bright orange-red. There is a customer door at the left, topped with a painting of Jesus. Next to that is a large glass block window and on the right is the garage door. There are paintings of tires at various places above the garage door. "4 Brothers Tire Shop, Inc." is painted in black and white at top left.

One-story brick building with a flat roof. The brick is painted dark red, pale yellow, and brown. Pictures of tires, painted in black, white, and yellow, decorated the front. On either side are the words "TIRE SHOP", painted vertically. The address is painted yellow in the center of the building.

Nearly 400 marine mammals have washed up sick or dead on California’s Central Coast since June. Leptospirosis, toxic algal blooms, food collapse. The ocean itself is becoming uninhabitable for the life it holds — and most deaths go unseen. #RacingToExtinction

Marine mammals are dying in record numbers along the California coast — Los Angeles Times

It's been a doozy of a year for marine mammals, who have been dying in record numbers along the California coast. Volunteer rescue crews are traumatized and fatigued, but refuse to give up.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…
