This is worth knowing if you're in the disUSA.

To those who think this is about politics - it isn't. It's about morality.

Smart bit of composition, and a splendid result.

Fascinating as well as beautiful

Dwindling reservoirs aren't the result of "bad weather" or "natural cycles". They're a choice our society made. Growing thirsty crops like alfalfa and pecans in the desert is a choice. Refusing to reduce CO2 emissions is a choice. Refusing to change the water laws as reality changes is a choice.

It's Wednesday. You probably need this.

Chaco Canyon in New Mexico is also at risk for new oil and gas leasing.

Ever wonder why there's so many flowers in this park and none in so many other parks ? Cattle are an invasive species that denude the landscape of native angiosperms. Bison don't graze that way. 1st photo Yours truly Yellowstone 2nd photo Westoff Glen Canyon National Recreation area

Here's beautiful tranquility for you!

BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3... Why are they punishing the fans and players? Sack the perpetrators and ban them for life.

I don't make many friends and am generally self contained. 11 years ago, we moved here and, within weeks, we're friends with a near neighbour family. Today they moved, and I feel bereft. Looking at their empty house hurts. New friends will happen, I know. But tonight, the world feels empty.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

My bike was stolen from Ealing Broadway bike racks right under a CCTV camera - understand that the police can’t look at hours of footage for every theft. But how can I get access to the footage?

One of the most surreal skies I have ever witnessed, as vibrantly blue undulatus asperatus clouds rolled over the St. Mark's Lighthouse at sunset to create this dreamy scene. #Photography

An orphaned baby kangaroo needs our help to survive. These little joeys are vulnerable and require constant care and love after losing their mothers.

Cotopaxi joined the Save the US Forest Service movement.

Clever girl!

You may have heard of Zaporizhzhia as a city under frequent attacks. But even this city is more than the war. Olha Hrechukha creates dolls. She founded her own doll gallery in Zaporizhzhia. Yesterday, I saw one of her dolls.

Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

Here it is damp, drizzly and grey. There it is wet, sploshy and blue. I'd swap!

Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.

Dear America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT AND YOUR FECKLESS GOVERNMENT! WHY SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS INSANITY? Signed, Most of the rest of the planet

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Vicarious travel.

Greetings from Kyiv Today, on International Women’s Day, I chose to honor them: mothers, wives and girlfriends of missing soldiers. I visited the exhibition “Status: Missing. My State: Waiting (Love You).” The exhibits were created by those who wait and love 💔 Stop the video on a story to read it

Poetry is a bird perched lightly on the back of all that is fickle and dangerous in this world...

I'm generally a Canada fan, but I was appalled by that man's behaviour: cheating AND throwing a tantrum when called out on it.

Amid the chaos of life, there is always room for beauty. Pause for a moment. I’ve brought you two paintings by an artist from Odesa. 🇺🇦 Oleksandr Atsmanchuk (1923-1974)

I saw this the other day at the exhibition “Rescued Memories: The Cultural Heritage of Zaporizhzhia.” It’s a wedding outfit from the early 20th century.

Just wanted to show you this. I imagine the image saying, “Kyiv is waiting for you after the war.” I hope people from many countries will come when times are calm again. There is so much to explore.

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade. That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes. And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

“We always feel younger than we are. I carry within myself my earlier faces as a tree contains its rings. The sum of them is ‘me.’ The mirror sees only my latest face, while I know all my previous ones.” — Tomas Tranströmer 🌱📷

At times like this, a moment of beauty is important.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files
