Curious to learn more about CECOT?

Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.

Close up photo of lichen, Rhizoplaca subdisrepens. This one is chock full of apothecia (makes for tons of little cartoon faces:). Photo covers an area of approx. 4cm x 3cm. The full lichen is in the comments. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends
Close up photo of a portion of a lichen growing flat on rock. It’s off-white in colour and it’s covered in disc- like apothecia.

My Kingdom

A few autumns ago, in the morning rain, this hawk appeared in the oak tree just beyond my backyard fence. ...

"Perched with quiet authority on a lichen-dappled branch, the Cooper’s Hawk surveys its domain with piercing red eyes that seem to burn through the amber hush of fall. Its chest is cloaked in fine horizontal barring—rust and cream etched like ceremonial armor—while its head bears a dark cap, sleek and regal, as if donned for a rite of passage. The hooked beak curves downward in silent readiness, a symbol of precision and power. The branch beneath it is mottled with pale green lichen, like ancestral script etched into wood. Behind the hawk, the background blazes with autumn’s palette—leaves in fiery reds and soft oranges blur into a painterly wash, framing the bird in seasonal reverence. The hawk’s posture is alert yet composed, talons gripping the branch with sovereign steadiness, as if guarding a mythic threshold between forest and sky. This is no casual perch—it’s a vigil. A moment suspended in amber light, where predator and season meet in ceremonial stillness." - Microsoft Copilot

Somehow @sepinwall.bsky.social published a beautiful eulogy for Rob Reiner overnight. I woke up saddened by the news of his passing, and this piece—celebrating his life and work—was exactly what I needed to read.

Here are some nice mushrooms
A quarter of intertwined winter bonnet mushrooms grow from the decayed punk of a log in winter. The gray sky casts soft light over their translucent caps. All photos by me
