Beautiful. The alt text is brilliant 🙂
As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!
An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.
✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

A sprinkling of leaves dropped from the host tree and gently landed on the wet ground below it. 260 million years later they find themselves encased in a block of stone in my study

Happy New Year and good fortune to everyone during 2026! Below is a relief of the Roman goddess Fortuna which was found at Castlecary Roman Fort on the Antonine Wall. Now part of the collections at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #NewYear

A Roman terracotta lamp with Victory holding a shield inscribed with a wish for a happy and prosperous new year. Around her are representations of things that were usually given as gifts to celebrate the New Year: money (here three coins), and dried fruit (dates and figs). 🥳 🏺 1/

This administration terminated the lease agreement governing Washington’s 3 public golf courses, a move that throws the future of municipal golf in the District into uncertainty and clears a path for the president to put his imprint on 1 of the region’s most prominent public courses.

later told CBS they thought it was ICE. Nick also looks about 18 years old.
These stills come from a woman's video--she was filming because she thought they were ICE and also yelling to people coming and going outside one day care to beware of ICE.

Trump is a Russian asset and I'm willing to bet a number in his close circle are as well. Even if they're too stupid to realize it.

But I think we can end 2025 on a realistically hopeful note: as @whstancil.bsky.social put it, Trump’s revolution had failed. We will win, in 2026 and in 2028. Trump won’t even get to try his illegal third term run. And we will get another bite at the apple of putting this behind us
We Are Going to Win
Trump's revolution will fail, but we still have a long and painful road ahead of us.
