A blanket is a type of towel. 😆 Good for you!

At first glance, I thought it looks like under the ocean 🐬
Those green mary janes 👍
We could be wrong but you look like you need to see a happy piglet getting a belly rub.

Seeking a recommendation for a free learning style quiz. The ones I'm finding online only cover the 3 major domains (audio, visual, kinesthetic). I need one that includes more. Suggestions are appreciated! #Teacher #Instructor #LearningStyles #Students
That does seem random 😆
Plastic nurdles are tiny — but their impact is massive. Years after a spill off Sri Lanka, they’re still polluting coastlines and harming wildlife. To protect our planet, we must #BreakFreeFromPlastic. www.bbc.com/news/article... #PlasticPelletFreeWaters
My first car was super old. I thought it was great that I could fill it up with leaded gas, which was cheaper.... Exposure to lead from gasoline during the 1960s and early 1970s is linked to a 20% increased risk for memory problems later in life, study finds. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Witch news? I’m a bit intrigued. 🧙🏼♀️
Keep running! The animals need you. 🐑
A very full day. Good luck with your tasks.
Friended you. The Finch app is great for keeping me on task. An ADHD helper!
The link doesn’t go to your account. What is your friend code. I’ll add you.
I added you as a friend. My finch is Peep.
More fuzzball pics please.

Beautiful color with your skin tone.
Wild blueberries are delicious!
Especially back then. People of color and women. Definitely second class citizens in the early 1900s.
I’m a medical and sports massage therapist. I get the “ooh, I need to relax” comments too. People don’t understand that it’s therapeutic for chronic pain and improves performance for athletes.

Thank you for caring for the farm animals!
Modern medicine is amazing!

Because every #bluesky timeline needs a yawning otter... 😅 Sound on... 😊
Will Fifi stay at the sanctuary too?
Heck yeah! That sounds like a great day. 🪁
Stonewall wasn't the beginning, and it definitely wasn't the end in the fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Here's to the joy and resistance that make Pride possible, and to the futures we continue to fight for, together.

Congratulations! 🏡
Lovely story! Steve Mills found a family treasure in a used book. 📖
Honestly, that would draw me in more. I’d read that book. Glad you’re on the other side of that year and you have a survival sweater to show for it.

That’s a wonderful photo. It should be the cover of a novel.

Watermelon is affordable and easy to prepare. Use it in smoothies or a summer slushie, in a salad or even on the grill. With its refreshing flavor and healthy array of nutrients, watermelon is never out of season. 🍉

Your animal friends need a little extra help to avoid overheating and risking heatstroke. This is what you need to ensure that your pet stays cool and comfortable.

I agree it’ll be difficult times. Those I know who have government contracts feel like their hands are tied. I have to focus on the positive though. It’s good to hear everything isn’t just going to stop immediately.
Good news for #science and #medicine.
Hallelujah! Science and medicine has come so far in my life time. We can’t stop now.
Thank you for posting that quote. That’s how many of us here in the US feel.

I understand the danger to the bears and people, but this is kinda funny.
Even in a sanctuary, they prolly don’t get “all you can eat honey.” It was adventure day!
Inspirational! I’m considering that too. I am waiting a bit until my whole head goes more gray. Right now it’s mostly gray on the top so it looks like a bird pooped on me.

Lovely. I favor bringing back the fashion of 1910-1920’s in a modern way. Like that look.
That is perfect for Midsummer. Lovely work!
An event at the Missouri Botanical Garden tomorrow will feature something surprising — meat eating plants. The St. Louis Carnivorous Plant Society’s annual show and sale is an opportunity for people to learn about them:

Good advice!
Depression, anxiety and other psychiatric conditions often go undetected and undiagnosed in patients. The neglect takes a significant toll on survival.

Today on #WorldOceansDay, let's honor 'Planet Ocean'. Oceans not only allow us to survive, but they allow species - including wolves - to survive as well. British Columbia's coastal island wolves live a unique existence along the intertidal zone. Swimming and scavenging along the remote beaches.
🚨 80% of the wildlife caught in trawler nets is discarded, dead or dying! The devastating impacts of #BottomTrawling bycatch are laid bare in a new film by @bluemarinef.bsky.social, with Theo James & Stephen Fry. On #WorldOceanDay, help us end this NOW: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

You are not alone.
Yes! Relax for the rest of the day ☀️
