It's a good time to randomly text someone a link to chicken.pics. Especially anyone bumming themselves out with doom scrolling. Contemplate how unaware chickens are of human politics. Visit the chickens. Be with them. They are your friends. Except for the one who is your sworn enemy.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essentialwww.thelancet.com By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Offi...

My god, the Finns are right, sauna DOES cure everything!

This female Powerful Owl has recently taken to roosting outside the hollow during the day. Previously she has only had one Owlet each year & has stayed in the nest during the day up until when the Owlet emerged. Maybe a sign it's getting crowded in there & there more is than one? #birds #brisbane

I’ve been very lucky to see beluga in the Churchill river a number of times, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this. There are a few hundred whales here churning up the water, herding capelin into a bait ball to feed. It was incredible! 🌿🐳https://youtu.be/sgM21bM0wd8?si=QDNac_tw5hYbmFsm

Some of y'all need to eat grass. Not just touch it, eat it. I know you can't digest it. I think it would be good to spend a couple days in the bathroom wondering why you're like this.

This is just straightforwardly fantastic. The house of Lords is weird and as with so many bits of the UK not something anyone would have designed, but then you get something like this.
