Penguins propose with pebbles.

Kids in a children’s hospital painted the pebbles.

Somewhere in Scotland a penguin just proposed with a child’s artwork.💕

The dedication 💔

Screenshot of a book cover showing an illustration of a crow perched on an "ICE" jacket lying in the middle of a snow-lined road under the light of a full moon. The cover reads "ICE Out " by Charles de Lint. Text to the right of the cover reads "ICE came to Newford. Big mistake." and "Download for free!"

Urban fantasy author Charles de Lint just published a new "novelet" and released it for free, his stories of myth and magic and community and found family are full of so much love and hope and we could all use some of that right now

For 42 years, Comrags has been a mainstay of Canadian fashion. In August 2025, they announced they would be winding down operations, and in a beautiful gesture, Joyce and Judy chose to donate their overstock of textiles to support the Textile Museum.

How long before the 6th graders figure out how to gamify the pricing.

Observers from attorney general's office will monitor, document ICE enforcement across New York The legal observers, drawn from volunteers in the attorney general's office, will not interfere with enforcement actions.

No one should be forced out of their home and denied the legally necessary resources to find a safe and affordable place to live.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Another exceedingly detailed and epic illustration for a two page story. His work deserves everything I can throw at it plus probably rather a lot.

Can't show you though, so here is a stunt Kaw.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

Well then. You all were very keen on the mouse witch so perhaps you will also enjoy a rabbit witch.
Yes, those are hops.
No, I'm not sorry.

My Cousin Vinny remains a perfect film.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.
