A fan of *all* the wingy-thingies, especially raptors. Also 4-legged friends (wild & domestic) & creatures of the sea & desert.

Ella McCay is a visible mess that includes one of the worst I'm-back-for-the-reshoot wigs in film history but the thing is, James L. Brooks has not one but four lifetime passes (MTM, Simpsons, Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News), so maybe you will watch this some night and remember those and smile.

This is Luke. He was hit by a car, crushing his back leg and fracturing his shoulder - both on his right side, making it very difficult to walk. He's in pain and needs urgent surgery to fix his broken bones, followed by rehab. You can help him below ❤️🩹

Sólheimajökull feels like a landscape caught between worlds — ice, ash, time, and silence.
The tiny group of hikers in the distance shows how immense this landscape truly is. Nature writes its story on a scale we can walk across, but never fully grasp.

In mid-November, Xerces & partners tagged monarchs at 3 locations in Santa Cruz, to study how these butterflies move around during the overwintering season itself. Learn what the tagged monarchs have been up to ➡️ xerces.org/press/new-ul...

This is my grandmother’s nativity scene. It is very old (1950s). Been adding observers to it each Christmas for years.

There’s no need to treat these people as anything but the sordid rabble of crooks and grifters and subnormal bigots that they are.

This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had no interest in being separated from her friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they're a package deal. The best news? It worked: They were adopted together. 14/10 for both
