Literature seems to be in retreat—not just in the Anglosphere, but everywhere. Baffler no. 81 assembles writers (and translators) from across the world to describe what postliteracy looks like in South Korea, in Mexico, in Sudan.

There’s no point in denying it anymore: literature as we know it is well on its way to becoming a lost art.

#Sunlit in the shade

#Birdoftheday

A blue gray tanager crouched in a branch. It's in the shade, but a sharp ray of light catches its cheek and right side

Jays to the World Series!

An action shot from a recent trip to Toronto #birds

A blue jay takes off from the ground to chase a flying insect.

Of the three baseball birds this one was the last I photographed. Oriol was easy since it migrates to Costa Rica, but I had to travel for the Jay and Cardinal

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Hell, I've tried using it for my bullshit office job and it's not even good at that. Can't fathom using it in anything remotely creative

Reposting this masked tityra for #birdoftheday (primarily white birds). I feel like white is pretty common for water birds but rare otherwise? Wonder why that is.

A mostly white plump bird with black facemask and feathertips. It has a red eye ring and beak. People call these pajaro chancho here - pigbirds - for the sounds they make.

Every time I talk about tityras I have to google how to spell it and even then I'm sure I fucked it up somewhere lol
