Out of everything that happened and I have seen last night. This was mesmerizing! This video is captivating and downright beautiful that little Peanut can make such a change and bring people together. He deserves his voice to say how unfair this was and how he was treated. Those two little ones did not deserve this at all in the slightest because some people decided that it was against the rules for them to be happy and live with their loved ones. Honestly, who are we to decide? Everyone please go Support @peanut_the_squirrel12 @pnuts_freedom_farm Let’s all give Mark the support he needs and get laws in place that protect the innocent little ones for generations to come so this type of tragedy and misuse of government funds does not happen again to slaughter little ones. #squirrell #justiceforpeanut #justiceforpeanutandfred #justiceforfred

We all know about the fuss around Pluto, how many decry its "demotion" to a dwarf planet, and how it's still an honorary planet in the hearts of many, and I totally get it, but I don't think any of you out there are taking it far enough.

What about the rest of the so-called "dwarf" planets, huh? where's their justice? what about Ceres? Haumea? Makemake? Eris? fucking Quaoar?! why have just eight planets when you can have 18?! Why only invite Pluto to the party if you're already gonna expand the guest's list?!

you know what should be "demoted"? fucking Phobos and Deimos, the two "moons" of Mars. these two motherfuckers are proof that the barrier-to-entry for moons is too low. they're barely visible, they don't effect mars in any meaningful way, they aren't even round since they aren't big enough to round themselves under their own gravity, and one of them isn't even in a stable orbit of Mars! Phobos is gonna get ripped apart by mars' gravity in just a few dozen million years!

the concept of a "Dwarf Moon" is too good for them. they should be called, like, sateloids or something. Lunoids at most. fuck em

Our Planet Week Day 1: Among the Stars.

It's quite poetically sad that I missed Earth Day because I was in college in the city. I'd much rather be with the birds.

Lol! I wrote a whole post about this article but the link didn’t seem to work 😅 Adhere to some brevity here. 6 out of 9 planetary thresholds has been breached, the oceans in particular are on a knife’s edge. This election is not whether you like the candidates or who will be better for your wallet. It’s about the Supreme Court and their continuous assault against our planet, and also our democracy. They’ve sided with polluters time and time again and seem hell bent on deregulating all the safeguards meant to protect us, and the planet. There’s candidates on one side like, Kamala Harris &Tim Waltz who believe this is a problem that needs addressed, then there’s Vance and Trump on the other who think it’s fake and temperatures just rise ten plus degrees in a century normally. If you weren’t planning on voting & this is a concern of yours, please get out there and take action for it. This is the tool we have right now to fix this. It’s not a total fix but Biden made good headway & we know Kamala will continue this . For our future, for our future children’s future, for all the beauty that is this planet. Get out and vote and vote blue for our little bright blue ball just spinning spinning free, dizzy with eternity 😁

Wasn’t quite as short as I intended 😝

ECHOES IN OUR BLOOD by Vulpine_Spectacle

THE PARENTS OF FEYD-RAUTHA AND BEAST RABBAN.

It is the scream of a woman that spurs Abulurd into a faster pace, despite the pain of shards imprinting into his face, then the snow biting into his flesh. The door to Feyd-Rautha’s nursery is open wide, so Abulurd need only stagger forward into it. The sight that awaits him is sickening. Thora. His wife, his love, lays upon the ground. Blood pours ceaselessly from the stump of her neck. Her body twitches, her nightgown stained with blood and stab wounds across her torso, and her head is in the hands of her killer. “Glossu,” breathes Abulurd. His eldest son stands there before him, clutching Thora’s head in his large, calloused hands. The boy who he had left behind on Arakkis is now a man. He is exceptionally large in stature and muscle, adorned in fine black armor dusted in snow and painted by blood. His smile is like his uncle's, cruel. Twisting his own mother’s head between his hands, he finally looks up to face his father. Carelessly, Rabban throws the head of Thora across the room. It rolls in an expression of frozen pain and terror to the feet of Abulurd. He feels his lip quiver as he looks at it, then at his own son. Beyond this room, he can still hear the massacre transpring through the corridors. Broken windows, guards being slaughtered, the screams of his servants. “Your own mother?” Abulurd says, his voice quivering. Rabban’s back straightens. “I am no son of yours or hers,” he says, his voice rough and thick. He glances towards the crib at the center of the room where Feyd-Rautha is standing, clutching the rim of it and peering over to watch it unfold. He is crying. “Nor is he.” Nor is he.

A lot of liberals use the words "liberal" and "leftist" interchangeably and then act like the world is ending and lose their shit when an actual leftist says totally normal not even radical actual leftist things because they don't realize that liberals are actually right wing, including themselves.

TRAGIC that so much of Frey’s cringe is lost on Cuff because he assumes it’s just how Earth people are

About Amy's family, how do you feel about Amy being part echidna? Since nobody knows who her parents are and with Amy super strenght and downward quills it's a popular headcanon. It would also be very cute, Knuckles and Amy are kind of like siblings making her part echidna it could mean they could be related somehow, maybe distant cousins. What do you think?

i love this theory! i think it's super interesting and also raises some interesting questions about what happened to the echidnas, are there any others living in hiding on the surface, and what this means in terms of amy and knuckles as relatives...

personally i do think they're related!! the easy answer is 'duh they're red and pink think about it' but my answer as a jewish person who has worked with elders tracking down family trees across generations? they're related, but it's distant enough to where if they Were to somehow have their relatives all lined up in a neatly organized tree neither of them would know who tf the other is talking about until they find a shared ancestral branch from like 300 years ago LOL

but also i dont think either of amy's parents are fully echidnas... her quills and fur color are probably something that's been passed down.

Solar Power vs. The Darkness of Trump - Bill McKibben in #CommonDreams

"All this is the premise for understanding why the fossil fuel industry is so freaked out about this year’s election. They can read these charts as easily as anyone, and they know what’s coming…. They have to lock in customers right now, or else watch their whole business start to slowly, and then quickly, fade. And with that fade will come, inevitably, reduced political power."

i dont have a lot of spanish music in my phone and like. its even less when compared to like the huge amount of not spanish music on there. anyways that means even though i almost always have music playing its rare for this situation to have occured but

its late, and my phone started playing spanish music from the other room while i brushed my teeth. and listening to the muffled crooning and trumpets i was briefly thrown back into my 12 year old body, standing in my childhood bathroom listening to the neighbors loudly play their music down the street while i got ready for bed and felt such a crushing sense of longing and homesickness for a community I'll never have again that. i think i might actually be ill now

🔸️普通翠鳥是在大多數歐洲地區唯一可見的翠鳥，並在使內陸水域結凍的冬季時向南遷徙。其外觀上是明顯的藍綠色及橘色，以及背上一條寶石藍色的條紋。雌雄之間可由下半鳥喙的顏色區分：雄鳥跟上半喙一樣為黑色，而雌鳥則帶有紅色。這種鳥類易與其他數種翠鳥混淆，但通常可從其橫貫眼睛及耳羽之間的橘色條紋區分。牠們相當適應於潛水，並有著特化的視覺構造而能看清水面下的獵物，甚至能夠穿越薄冰層去捕捉獵物。

🔸️這種鳥類通常採一夫一妻制，在沿岸的河床邊掘洞築巢繁殖後代，每次約產5—7枚蛋，19—21天後孵化，並在24—27天後離巢。在文化層面上，普通翠鳥在東西方文化中都有出現在相關的神話及藝術創作內，並有一定程度的正面意涵存在。但這種翠鳥的數量因對水質跟沿岸環境的需求，以及對嚴冬的耐受性相當低等原因，其族群正在逐步下滑。不過目前其數量仍然眾多且分佈廣泛，在《國際自��保護聯盟瀕危物種紅色名錄》中被評為無危物種。
