Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Flamingo tongue, a sea snail that eats gorgonians, converting their toxins into chemical defenses (though hogfish, pufferfish, & Spiny lobster eat them). The spots are in the mantle, but people collect them thinking the shell is colorful, and populations have suffered. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

The Trumpetfish is such a ridiculous looking creature, they always make me smile. They are masters of color change as well, shading from brown, reddish, orange, and bright yellow. They often drift head-down like this, especially when hanging out in clumps of soft coral. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

These tomato pickers earn 86 cents per 25 lb bucket. On an average day a worker fills around 170 buckets --or more than 4000 pounds of tomatoes picked by hand. The fruit is picked green so it ripens red by the time it reaches your store. #WeFeedYou

This will kill people. Some of us have physical bodies that need HRT to live. Trans people’s blood is on the hands of these supposed Christians. This is a declaration of intent to do harm to patients. Somebody needs to sue these genocidal maniacs.
So much for holding up the dignity of every human being. So they are on the side of christian nationalism too? apnews.com/article/us-c...

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Senate Democrats are about to learn about the ineligible in-group
I spent a good chunk of the past 11 months angry, angry at what this regime is doing to this country.
But im feeling levels of unbridled rage that I have not felt in years after watching the democrats negate their biggest win in years with a deal that gives the regime an even bigger victory
