  1. Skimming through Gavv to get reference shots just reminds me of how much I absolutely love this current season of Kamen Rider. 🍬 ❤️ 🍫 The characters are fun, the writing is tight but still has room to breathe, and the fight scenes are fantastically choreographed. I'm addicted~

  3. Skimming over Trump’s official Noises (Executive Orders).

    Denial of birthright citizenship?
    It appears that their argument is identical with the losing argument in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, in 1898.

    Admittedly, precedent has utterly no meaning before this SCOTUS. But on the face of it, this is a loser.

    The text of the debate in Congress establishes that persons born here includes "every other class of persons” save an explicit list.

  4. Skimmer Symphony

    These black skimmers (Rynchops niger) were at Gulfport, Mississippi a couple of years ago. That year there were so many birds on the beach that I might have been able to take pictures blindfolded.

    "A long-winged bird with stark black-and-white plumage, the Black Skimmer has a unique grace as it forages in flight. Skimmers feed by opening the bill and dropping the long, narrow lower mandible into the water, skimming along until they feel a fish. Then they relax the neck, quickly closing their jaws and whipping the fish out of the water. Because they feed by essentially by touch, they can even forage at night." - allaboutbirds.org

  5. Skimming His Majesty the Worn is like barely opening a curtain where a whole new wonderful world is hiding secretly.
    I'll wait for the physical version before diving into it but wow.

  6. Kids, make sure you explain to your parents what card skimmers are, and why it's a terrible idea to slide debit cards into gas pumps -- before it happens to them. If they *have* to use debit cards, always look for tap-to-pay, even if the gas there isn't as cheap as their favorite place.

    #BlackSkimmers feed by flying just above the water and opening their beak so that it scoops up small fish, insects, and other prey.
    The water’s surface also creates a perfect #reflection

  18. Black #Skimmers live most in the South and Central America and the Caribbean, but some live on the US East Coast.
    #BlackSkimmers feed by #skimming the water with their #beak open and the lower part in the water as they fly just over the surface.
    The skimmers hope to catch fish, insects, and other small prey.
    Sometimes they fly and feed together, seeming to #dance in the air.

  22. Skimmers will skim.

    Here's another photo of a black skimmer (Rynchops niger) skimming along the shallow for food. The bird looks like it doesn't have eyes, but a closer look reveals a black eye among the black feathers. It makes me think a bit about blind creatures in a sci-fi movie who hunt by sound.

    I took this photograph at Gulfport, Mississippi.

    "Although the Black Skimmer is active throughout the day, it is largely crepuscular (active in the dawn and dusk) and even nocturnal. Its use of touch to catch fish lets it be successful in low light or darkness." - allaboutbirds.org

  23. Skimming ...

    This is a black skimmer (Rynchops niger), this is the first I've ever seen these. This was at the beach at Gulfport. We went over to the beach before going to our room. There were hundreds of these. I'll share more photos later. I'm having to process and post the photos with my camera because my laptop doesn't have the power to use Lightroom.

    "A long-winged bird with stark black-and-white plumage, the Black Skimmer has a unique grace as it forages in flight. Skimmers feed by opening the bill and dropping the long, narrow lower mandible into the water, skimming along until they feel a fish. Then they relax the neck, quickly closing their jaws and whipping the fish out of the water. Because they feed by essentially by touch, they can even forage at night. The world’s three species of skimmers are the only birds on earth that feed in this manner." - allaboutbird.org

  24. Skimming through a very recent report on the current state of #scholcom #infrastructure - and kind of worried that we're still, in this year of 2023, doing the old capitalist playbook of preaching consolidation, consolidation, consolidation ... and transformative agreements.

    Is it really so hard to acknowledge other forms that try to do things differently? #Ithaka

    Like, no mention whatsoever of alternative forms of organisation that don't just merely focus on competition and / or cost reduction ... 😩 #scalingsmall

    It's not as if we didn't have key non-profits / not-for-profits working in the sector, right?
