The best art doesn’t provide answers. It asks questions.

Fox News and Facebook did to our parents exactly what they said video games would do to us.

Absolutely unacceptable. This could undo decades of restoration and completely destroy sensitive areas. Disgraceful. Trump Lifts Restrictions on Off-Road Vehicles on Public Lands - The New York Times share.google/4lbFS8dT0tKYHZ5…

Now mark me well, thou king of borrowed light, Whose crown sits loose upon a hollow head; Thy words, once dressed in gold to mimic right, Lie now as carrion where truth hath bled. Didst think thy jests could purchase honest breath, Or paint thy sins till none could call them so?

Thou hast outlied thyself, and summoned death, Which dogs thee close where’er thy wits may go. For lo, within thee works a subtler jest— No blade, no poison poured by rebel hand; But thine own pulse, grown traitor in thy chest, Shall strike thee down ere thou canst understand.

So rave, old fool, and curse the air in vain— Thy heart shall break to end thy painted reign.

Dawn in Lamar Valley. Freezing fog forms when dense, subzero air sinks into the valley floor — sometimes near –20°F — creating a layer of suspended ice crystals that creates hoarfrost. Winter doesn’t mute Yellowstone. It transforms it. 📷 5D Mark III | 24mm | f/7.1 | 1/25 – at Montana, USA

Before dawn in Yellowstone National Park, a bison emerges coated in hoarfrost — ice formed when moisture freezes directly onto fur. Dense underfur traps heat, guard hairs shed snow, and slow movement conserves energy. Not just survivors — ecosystem engineers.

Bison shape plant communities, create habitat through wallows, redistribute nutrients, and in winter break trails through deep snow for other animals to follow.

The rut is here. A bull elk watches over his herd in the golden meadows of the Rockies — a reminder of the wild stories unfolding around us every day. 🦌🌲 #WildlifePhotography #Elk #Conservation

In 1984, the Hilma Hooker drifted into Bonaire with busted engines and 25,000 lbs of weed hidden behind a false wall. She was never claimed. So they sank her. Today, she rests at 75ft—covered in coral, alive with reef fish, and humming with breath. 🎥 @KColbyPhotography @GoPro

Colorado’s second-highest peak, wrapped in clouds and calm. It’s called Mt. Massive for a reason—photos barely do it justice. #MtMassive #HighAltitude #WildernessCulture #KColbyPhotography

Teddy Roosevelt didn’t build the #NationalParks so @BasedMikeLee could auction them off. Public land belongs to all Americans — not just the highest bidder. Let’s be loud. Let’s be bold. Let’s keep it wild. 🦬🌲 #PublicLands #StopTheLandGrab #KeepItPublic #TeddyWouldNotApprove
