The beach is timeless. Hard to tell what year this photo was taken

Black and white beach view with a path ending in the sand. Background is sand, trash cans, umbrellas, chairs, lifeguard tower and the ocean

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Black people occupy spaces on a DAILY where they feel unwelcome. We get a space of our own and now it’s racist and separatist. Get out of my face, man.

Again. This is just policing. If you think we should defund ICE, then what would be the logical next step?

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

I call on Governor Pritzker to withdraw the State Police goon squads brutalizing protesters on ICE’s behalf in Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds
