Happy #WorldTurtleDay! :HappyTurtle: Yay! ❤️

Did you know that all tortoises are in fact turtles — they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia (reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell) — but not all #turtles are #tortoises.

One way to tell them apart is by where it lives. A #turtle lives mostly in #water, while a #tortoise is a #land animal.

Some people use the terms interchangeably but technically that's not always correct.

A graphic made for World Turtle Day, annually on May 23rd. The image shows a front half profile of a cute tiny turtle on one side. The one eye we can see is dark brown and seems to be staring into our souls. The other has a pink 3D heart on a green background with a caption saying "May 23rd - World Turtle Day"
It's a cutaway photo of an unknown species of tortoise that clearly shows that turtles aren't "in" their shells — they ARE their shells. The specimen is large and stark, sitting on a white table in a white room, perhaps a museum. It's been vertically bisected, front to back. Along the top of the animal, you can't really see the scutes that make up the beautiful shell we normally see. It's just a thin brown veneer over the white domed skeleton, the carapace. Hanging from nder that, the backbone looks like scaffolding. At two points, one in front and one at the back of the animal, are "arm" and "leg" bones attached to the dome on one end and have feet on the other, hinged at the "elbow" and "knee" just above the boney underside of the animal, called the plastron. The tortoise walked on its toes, differentiating it from turtles, which walk on the bottom of their webbed feet. Between the "shoulder blades" there's a long boney neck that looks like heavy duty chain links, in this photo at least. At the end of the neck, the head is egg-shaped. Its mouth is closed and we can see one large eye socket. Below the specimen, a sign says: "Reptiles in a box "A tortoise’s shell is made of two bony parts - the plastron on the underside and the carapace on the upperside. Large horny scales, called scutes, cover the bones of the shell. The middle part of the backbone is fused to the shell, leaving the bones of the neck and tail free."
It's a photo of environmental activist, conservationist, and world famous turtle hugger Ila Loetscher (https://w.wiki/EGX7), AKA The Turtle Lady, standing on a beach, with waves and a blue sky behind her, holding a costumed sea turtle in her arms, like one would a baby. She appears to be rubbing noses with the animal. She's got gray, wind-blown hair and is wearing a red and black sweater. The turtle, wearing a knitted red and white striped sweater and a festive matching hat, has one flipper on the woman's shoulder. The photo is signed in the upper left and says "Love from the Turtles and Ila".
A person stands in a large but shallow indoor pool of water that comes up to about his knees. Behind him is a small blue bucket filled with water, sitting on the pool floor. The man, wearing shorts and a dark t-shirt, is bending over with his right arm in the water — which has hundreds of very small baby turtles swimming in it. They're all just floating around and so sweet looking! They're tiny and cute and they're all around him! ❤ The caption says "I would never leave this job."

Nothing says #misogyny like the #US #DoD spending $42M on #Viagra while simultaneously outlawing the $5.2M they spend on gender affirming care for #trans people, does it?

I *think* this is satire but wtf can tell anymore?

“Obviously that coward Mike Pence won’t overturn the results of the conclave. I bet he’s going to say things like ‘It was a fair vote’, ‘I believe in democracy’, and ‘I’m not a Catholic cardinal and this has nothing to do with me’, said the maga Shaman.

I rediscovered this image from several years ago in my meme stash this morning and I've been giggling about it ever since. I realize we shouldn't be laughing about him (but we should be laughing *at* him) but if it makes you smile a little then I think it was worth it. 😃

It's a color photo of a sign being held up (at a protest?) against a gray sky with a few leafless trees showing. The sign is a montage of color headshot photos of three men, each having a short caption at the bottom. Barack Obama has a caption that says "OBAMA"; the Dalai Lama has a caption that says "LAMA"; and trump has a caption that says "DING-DONG". (Put the captions together. It may help to say them out loud.)

The law is clear: flags shall be flown at half-staff for thirty days after the death of a President.

But, you know, fuck the law.
Right?
Fuck. The. Law.

(Screenshot of a web page from the National Archives) National Archives Office of the Federal Register (OFR) Proclamations Proclamation 3044--Display of the flag of the United States of America at half-staff upon the death of certain officials and former officials Source: The provisions of Proclamation 3044 of Mar. 1, 1954, appear at 19 FR 1235, 3 CFR, 1954-1958 Comp., p. 4, unless otherwise noted. WHEREAS it is appropriate that the flag of the United States of America be flown at half-staff on Federal buildings, grounds, and facilities upon the death of principal officials and former officials of the Government of the United States and the Governors of the States, Territories, and possessions of the United States as a mark of respect to their memory; and
(Screenshot of a web page from the National Archives) WHEREAS it is desirable that rules be prescribed for the uniform observance of this mark of respect by all executive departments and agencies of the Government, and as a guide to the people of the Nation generally on such occasions: NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States, do hereby prescribe and proclaim the following rules with respect to the display of the flag of the United States of America at half-staff upon the death of the officials hereinafter designated: 1. The flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions for the period indicated upon the death of any of the following-designated officials or former officials of the United States: (a) The President or a former President: for thirty days from the day of death. The flag shall also be flown at half-staff for such period at all United States embassies, legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. (b) The Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives: for ten days from the day of death.
(Screenshot of the article from The Guardian titled "Trump gets way as flags to fly full-staff at inauguration despite Jimmy Carter’s death") President-elect complained about possibility of flags remaining at half-mast for swearing-in despite US tradition [by] Anna Betts American flags at the US Capitol will fly at full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington DC on Monday, despite a White House order for flags to remain at half-staff for 30 days after the death of former president Jimmy Carter last month. The House speaker, Mike Johnson, first announced the change on Tuesday. In a post on social media he wrote: “On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump.” He added: “The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter.” Following the death of Carter on 29 December 2024, US flags have been flown at half-staff at federal properties, by tradition after the death of a former president, including at the Capitol. Joe Biden ordered the flags to be lowered for a period of 30 days, in accordance with the US flag code.

This is weird, right?

I use an #extension *developed by Google¹* as a #dictionary in my #browser. I've been using it for 12+ years. I've never seen this behavior.

If I use the extension to search for the word 'fascist' or 'fascism', I get "no definition found."
If I search for those words via #Google #Search, I get the expected results. I noticed this about 3 hours ago.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

¹I am aware I need to move away from google. I will.

A screenshot of my computer today, showing a Google Search of the word 'fascist.' You can see the Google logo and the first Search result, from Wikipedia. Overlaying that is the result of me looking up that same word using an extension called "Google Dictionary (by Google)" that says "No definition found" as its result. At the bottom of the image is a caption: "Why won't Google Dictionary define the word Fascism but still return results for a Google Search?"

"Her life would have been much easier had she had a right to maternity leave, paid by her employer.

"Under a new law in Belgium - the first of its kind in the world - this will now be the case. Sex workers will be entitled to official #employment contracts, #health #insurance, pensions, maternity leave and #sick days. Essentially, it will be treated like any other #job."
