I illustrate pictures of birds my kids picked out to put on their lunchboxes. Previous years have been animals, robots, dinosaurs, and random scenarios.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
Cerulean Warbler

Schoolbag Bird 17

Like other small birds, the cerulean warbler will use spider webbing in their nests, and even reuse the webs from an old nest to help construct a new one.
American Coot

Schoolbag Bird 16

Instead of webbed feet, American Coots have long toes with broad lobes of skin that allow it to kick through the water.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Way to step up and get it done though!
Cedar Waxwing

Schoolbag Bird 15

A Cedar Waxwings’ primary diet is fruit, and sometimes they can even get a little tipsy from eating too many overripe berries that have fermented in the sun.
Dragonheart! “I yam the lasht one!”
Red-tailed Hawk

Schoolbag Bird 14

Despite being one of the largest birds in North America, they only weigh up to three pounds.
Lucky you! I finally saw the display at two stores in my area, but they were picked clean, including Crystal Ball. 😭
I finally found the mythical island at two Walmarts in my area, but they were picked clean. 😭
Anna’s Hummingbird

Schoolbag Bird 13

For their courtship display, males will fly up to 130 feet in the air, then dive straight down towards the ground, pulling up at the last second and spreading their tail feathers out to emit a loud squeak.
Black Skimmer

Schoolbag Bird 12

Black Skimmers feed by flying close to the water surface and dropping their long, narrow, lower bill into the water, gliding along until they feel a fish, at which point they quickly snap their jaws shut and swallow the fish.
Brown-headed Cowbird

Schoolbag Bird 11

Instead of building their own nests, Brown-headed Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species who then end up raising young cowbirds. Worst parents ever.

Mississippi Kite

Schoolbag Bird 10

Mississippi Kites will sometimes build their nests near a wasp nest in order to protect their young from predators.
Painted Bunting

Schoolbag Bird 09

It takes a couple years for painted bunting males to gain all those colors in their feathers.
Northern Shoveler

Schoolbag Bird 08

The Northern Shoveler’s large, spoon-shaped bill has comblike projections along the edges to help filter out food from the water.
