just sending out a note of appreciation for all the admins and mods who are dealing with a truckload of extra nasty nonsense today as they do the mostly unpaid and frankly never-ending work of keeping their patches of the fediverse as safe and pleasant for as many people as possible. thank you! I'm sending thoughts of empathy and care for having to deal with an extra helping of garbage lately. let your users know if you have patreons, ko-fis, or other methods of donating or helping out in other ways, and remember to take care of yourselves too. 💚

It's National Bird Day! Here's a rather striking Wilson's snipe (Gallinago delicata), who was not at all perturbed by my presence nor by having my big lens pointed right at it. December 2022. Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, Henderson, Nevada.

A breathtaking view of the Sun's reflection on the Pacific Ocean seen from space.

Really hate when ppl try to clarify that it’s not covid when they are sick. We know by now that omicron variants evade tests (both pcr and rat) better than previous variants.

In all honesty, if you’re sick at all in any way that could be covid related, it’s better to assume it’s covid and act accordingly.

And also maybe apply some covid caution even to “regular” flu/cold which can also be dangerous for immunocompromised people (a group that has expanded enormously due to covid)

I cannot believe that it took me less than ten minutes to get tumblr to post to a discord channel via a webhook. usually cross platform integration takes a lot more weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth than that.

Tumblr, somehow the least cursed platform

"ok but it's not like he can just liquidate all his investments and give away $140 billion"

You're right! It means that, of the $463.567 trillion of wealth in the world, across 8.01 billion people, he has basically autocratic control over 2,419,068 people's share of the world's economy.

When someone's net worth is nearly completely in capital, it doesn't indicate how much stuff they have as much as how much power they have.

Consider this in the context of how the past fifty years worth of economic policy have been all about "free trade" and privatisation.

You're the Devil in Disguise ...Oh yes you are...
I love the little crests that look like horns.
Shore Larks like this one I shot in the northern part of the Netherlands normally live on the Arctic Tundras, but during the Winter they are seen in medium sized flocks along our coast and on the 'Wadden' Islands searching for seeds.
