In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

Don’t you think it’s degrading as an immigrant to keep trying to prove your worth to people who believe in their superiority & righteousness in demanding you prove your worth?

That’s a trend that I see some ‘allies’ encouraging in order to ‘change minds’. It’s unfair & humiliating. Think about it!

I stop to think
What have I
Created with my life?
Immaturity
And a longing
For identity
Drove me to smoke

Didn't I just look
So cool?

Almost every moment
For 25 years
A cigarette burned
At my lips
And at my fingers
Marking a path
Of memory
A work of art
Created out of
Scattered #ash

How can I experience
Sonder when I'm stuck
Unsure if this self
Having THESE thoughts
("Me")
Exists
Or is merely
A phenomena of some sort
If I'm candid here
How can "I" be sure
You're not just imagining me?
And if that IS the case
Would you mind
Imagining me
A little smarter?

Temporary Restraining Order to be granted tomorrow in the Chicago case filed by journalists, pastors, and others hit with riot control munitions by ICE!

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 7h

Ellis rules that the plaintiffs have standing for their case. She cites the "ongoing and sustained record of conduct" by federal agents gathered over the last month.

She further finds the plaintiffs have plausibly shown feds have "frustrated" efforts to "protect journalist safety."

viewing handmade art
laughing with your friends

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

HOW DOES HE JUST KEEP GETTING CUTER?

Fluffy white Corgi mix lying on a gray and white blanket. His tongue is hanging out and he's ridiculously cute. As always, he is staring right into the camera.

When I was candid,
Nobody wanted to know,
The truth is lonely.
