Humans do breed too much. But why single these people out?

can we make labor day a pregnancy thing too
Well, I have no desire to do any labor, so there's that.
How about California orange juice? (I've been disinclined to buy Florida orange juice since Anita Bryant -- yes, I am that old -- but living in California, it's not like I've needed to anyway.)
And here I thought people moved to Florida to get away from snowflakes.
If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.
Yes, I've looked it up now. Fake news! (Sex in a cemetery is odd enough, surely.)
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
What is the relevance of the Hong Kong flu epidemic to this? (The article you linked to is paywalled.)
Some cat and otter sketches with my #fountainpen ! Love the fude nib for the juicy lines and variation! #inkdrawing #cat #otter #art #sciart #InkArt #catart
Imagine not liking people from other places. It's like the coolest thing in the world to talk to someone from somewhere far away
Releasing the parakeet now seems like a perfectly nice way to wake your kid up.
Gregor Samsa awoke one day to find his mom holding a can of Raid
Half a marathon is better than none.
...Mary Shelley did WHAT?!
"He's not that kind of doctor!" -- numerous companions
Actually, Frankenstein was far more a real doctor than RFK Jr is, and RFK Jr is far more a monster than Frankenstein ever was.
Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein was the name of the creator, not the creation. Wisdom is knowing that the creator WAS, in fact, a monster.
Gary’s had naps in a lot of beautiful places
this is why I pay for photoshop
A man shouldn’t define his strength in how hard they can hit… but in how many people they can help carry.
Love that metaphor. (I had a cat I described that way, for how she clung to me when I held her❤️)
Here's a more detailed explanation of what gender dysphoria and gender identity mean, how they differ, and how gender dysphoria is treated, from the American Psychiatric Association. www.psychiatry.org/patients-fam...
...by which I mean, your assertion that being transgender is a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is (and can be treated, whether the patient is transgender or not -- they aren't always), but being transgender isn't the same thing.
Actually you don't know it. You just think it. Would you please answer my original question? As in what, specifically, are you basing that opinion on?

I'd love to see this in person! #invertefest #inverts #arachnids #spiders www.reddit.com/r/spiders/co...
@anned13.bsky.social, you really need to see these.
#Caturday +1
Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum. IG tatterbluelibrary
Based on what, exactly?
That's fair -- guns don't generally go off by themselves. People can generally do it more efficiently with a gun than many other weapons, though.
How so?
He sounds pretty woke to me. Would you like some examples? (Although you can find some yourself, if you look.)

Box in the shit?

Spock is very handsome❤️
Beautiful cat❤️
A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
I attended a conference for energency workers where some trauma dogs and handlers were present. During one presentation public speaking, audience members were asked to participate. One woman was chosen but was visibly nervous. One of the dogs got up from his resting place and went to comfort her.
Just in case there aren't enough photos of this lovely bird here's my Wryneck photo. Just happened to be walking past Turf Lock, didn't know it was still here - so not really twitching is it? First I've ever photographed so happy it stayed on and behaved so well. #DevonBirds #LowCarbonBirding
Very nice❤️
This is Jetty. He never wants to hear you complain about his barking again. 13/10 (IG: ullalynn3)
Did you look under the dog's bed?
Colorado, please call your terrible governor and tell him to stop supporting a sociopath who's trying to kill thousands of us by denying us COVID shots and SSRIs. Constituent Services Help Line: (303) 866-2885 Governor's Office, Front Desk: (303) 866-2471
The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.
Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Thread.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
But is it really great shit?
I asked my North Korean friend what it's like to live in North Korea… He says he can't complain.

NO ONE beats the medieval bees and boob shaped beehives 🍯🐝 #InverteFest #WeirdMedievalGuys source: Aberdeen University Library, Univ. Lib. MS 24 (Aberdeen Bestiary), folio 63r
Looks like a bee bombing! And the beehives remind me of the twin domes at the (now closed) nuclear power plant a few miles north of me. slate.com/culture/2020...
Awww❤️ Do they stay with her for any length of time?
Beautiful❤️ And TIL there's a wolf spider that makes a web. (I didn't know any did.)

Maybe Barron's been putting them in his bedroom. (or Melania)
Somebody needs to scatter Lego around Trump's bed before he wakes up.
Sprinkle Lego around his bed while he's asleep.
Yes, shit!
@anned13.bsky.social
Never tried that on any of mine. My late Rudy might have liked it, though. He would eat dried cereal like it was kibble. (Off the floor and, when he could get away with it, out of my husband's bowl at the table. Sometimes before the milk and sometimes after.)
Questions I'd never thought to ask...

A hover fly samples pollen from wild bergamot. This photo is about a month old, but I love it, so resharing for #invertefest
I love it too! Hover flies are so beautiful. (And I love their flight.)

If you are angry, as you should be, that restricting access to the vaccine will make covid worse and more dangerous, please start wearing a mask, which actually does a significantly better job of preventing transmission in the first place.
hey hey rfk how many kids did you kill today
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...
Sounds like that'll be fun! Although the set seems appropriate for a No Kings protest.
With more red teardrop beads dangling from both!
You're welcome! You got so many good poses and expressions❤️
Matteo is a very handsome boy! #CaturdayEve
I turned up the sound and was not disappointed. But now I want potato chips☹️ #CaturdayEve
My mother used to call that "cupboard love"😁
Beautiful boy❤️
Also, what's silvervine?
We'd stop her at the door and refuse to let her in with it, but sometimes she slipped in anyway. A bird in the rafters is really difficult to get back outside🙄 2/2
Nice rescuing! When I was a kid, one of the cats was a REALLY good hunter (in addition to mice, she caught birds, and, once, a baby rabbit). She also brought prey in -- often unharmed -- and released it indoors, I think because she thought we needed to practice hunting. 1/2
Somebody's SPOILED😁 "A-ROOOOO!"
