Good Morning Blue Sky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading for the first time Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K LeGuin. What are you reading at the moment?

I keep remembering that the official Republican solution to gun violence is just... more gun violence. "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" means the plan -- the only plan -- is that AFTER the shooting starts, there's more shooting. Prevention isn't even considered.

Sea lion feeding frenzy. This happens when schools of fish like mackerel, sardines, or anchovies are on the move. 🦑

This little juvenile Cardinal is growing up. He just doesn't understand why he can't go where all the other kids go to get snacks. The adult Cardinals check out the ground under the feeder and always find seeds. 🪶 #birds

He’s so tiny—but the wren’s poking his head out of the wren house. They seem to be working on a second brood.

I regularly get rude comments from bird watchers and keyboard environmentalists telling me that cats are nasty, diseased creatures and to keep mine indoors (even though my cats are 100% indoor and always have been). Does that mean I think all bird watchers and environmentalists are rude and hostile?

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

Hello new friends! Have a look at Messier 13. Visible to the naked eye, if the sky is dark enough. Edmund Halley spotted it in 1714 and wrote “This is but a little Patch, but it shews it self to the naked Eye, when the Sky is serene and the Moon absent.” Which, same. Image: ESA/Hubble, NASA

This is BANXY, who will be one year old on July 4th. He came to us nine months ago, rescued from an abandoned car in The Bronx. He is amazing. I just read that people are giving their black cats to shelters because "they don't photograph well." WTF is wrong with those humans who do that?

I wasn’t really planning this but earlier I was like “It’s my birthday I want to see some damn kitties.” So we went down to the humane society to hand-deliver the fundraiser check instead of mailing it! Here is the receipt and some of kitties you helped!

Imagine believing that a cliquey popularity contest among a small minority of the population constitutes "democracy." The Dem primaries are rigged. From superdelegates to convention rules to outright suppression tactics in blue states, the entire process is tainted and undemocratic.

the party should respect democracy and the results of the primaries. We don't hold them for nothing.
