Never let anyone tell you that your vote doesn't matter.👇

In 2016, I was sitting in my livingroom when something slammed against the patio door. I ran over and saw this little guy lying on his back with his legs in the air. I thought he'd broken his neck. A flock of crows roosted on the patio railings. I went outside, and the crows didn't fly away. They made little placating sounds at me, like, "Hey, that's ours. Just leave it there and we'll be cool, ok?"

But I bundled up the little owl, and the crows freaked the fuck out. They started cawing in earnest and hopping up and down. I brought the owl inside, who still was not moving. He was knocked out. Then he burst into consciousness and started flying all around the house. I managed to catch him, bundle him up, and put him in the bathroom. He kept shrieking at me to scare me off, and I guess it worked, although his cries were cuter than they were scary. I left him in there with the lights out while I called a wildlife rehab centre. He pooped all over my bathroom mirror.

They came and picked him up. I'm glad to say he made a full recovery. #owl #SawWhetOwl #bird #birds #wildlife #WildlifeWednesday

I think the reason most Western politicians don't want to address the slow fascist coup taking over the World is that they're self serving cowards who see 'democracy' as some kind of brand that doesn't really matter.

the scary thing about the Internet is that if you get vocal against violent regimes and organisations, and people actually start listening, you risk having one of their assassins take you out, even on your home soil.

Now that a fascist party won the election in the Netherlands, there are calls to not treat everyone that voted for them as a racist, because maybe they voted for this party for other reasons. "Love and understanding begets more love and understanding" and all that. To which I say: fuck that. They decided that the racism, homophobia, islamophobia and fascism was not a reason to vote something else. 8/

Newton's own annotated copy of Principia Mathematica.

The Cambridge papers of Sir Isaac Newton, including early drafts and Newton’s annotated copies of Principia Mathematica have been added to UNESCO’s International Memory of the World Register. The chief attractions in the Cambridge collection are Newton’s own copies of the first edition of the Principia (1687), covered with his corrections, revisions and additions for the second edition.

On the Origin of Species was published on this day in 1859, forever changing our understanding of nature and our origins. Here are the charming doodles Darwin's kids left all over his manuscript with their tiny opposable thumbs: t.co/BGtxu11Mgz

Interesting topic! I followed Angry since 2017 when his handle was Angry White House Staffer & he dished on the inner workings of trump’s White House—loved his Friday Night AMA sessions.
I assumed from the fact that he presented as a trump WH insider that Angry was a Republican.
I see him as one of the sincere people I call “OG” Republicans, who accept the peril we’re in, but hope their party can escape from MAGA’s clutches & they can help it do so. I disagree.
