I met this chicken yesterday and all I could think of was how much better Jurassic Park would have looked if they had represented even some of the therapod dinosaurs with feathers even a quarter as exciting as this. #chicken #dinosaur #plumage #JurassicPark

Terrific essay on the execrable Ginni Thomas:

Lucy loves to sit in our bathroom sink. She has a food + a water bowl in the kitchen, but she’d much prefer to drink from the cup she has trained us to keep filled on the bathroom counter.

Thinking about how my neighborhood's NextDoor was full of ppl organizing a vigil in support of our city's police chief so I looked up what he did...he let a sergeant do a hit and run & a year later fire a gun inside an elevator??? lmao https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/justinphillips/article/oakland-police-department-17741494.php

Checking the veggie patch for late night slugs and… I’ve heard of tree frogs, but not lettuce frogs 🐸 #WildOz #VeggiePatch #Frog

I do not want to know anymore names, I do not want to know anymore strangers. I do not want to know your families or your friends, I do not want to know what you liked, I do not want to know what you were looking forward to. I wish I did not come to know your names Trayvon, Sandra, Breonna, Tamir, Mike, Rekia, Miriam, George, Keenan, Tyre. I wish you remained distant strangers because you were simply living your life.

I don't know if I'm late to the party for this. But the Tyre Nichols murder was a line-crossing event for me, and not just for the police.

I realize now that the police won't stop. The Republican Party won't stop. Big pharma, big corp, big oil won't stop until we fuckin end them.

Everyone who fights for a better world gets pummeled again and again by this shit. It never ends.

We can't act like Democratic moderates and just accept it... push band-aid solutions with flashy "see! we're doing something!" headlines.

This is war. These organizations, institutions and corporations that have been fuckin up our lives have gotten away with it for too long.

Time to end this. Time to end them.
