I was reminded earlier today that I need to reconstruct my Twitter thread over here at some point on our backyard bird creek we made many years ago. Pinning this as point to start from whenever I can get to it. In the meantime, enjoy this fall Kinglet Pool Party. #birds

Now the whistles will be EVEN MORE RAINBOW (how was it possible) so remember that we are now accepting requests for up to 3,000 (or more if you're part of a large org planning an event, just email us!) and they are 100% free & I guess now 1000% gay.

Part of why we were so excited about these is that he designed them to print on their sides, so you can pack 100 onto the A1 mini plate easily! I did my first 100 whistle test run and omg I LOVE THEM NOW THE RAINBOWS GO ACROSS THEM???

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.
God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

Got outside this morning. Saw some sun. Saw some gulls. Saw some frozen lake bits. Saw some weird ducks. It was a good morning. (Camera wasn’t happy about the light, distance, and cold, but 🤷🏻♀️).

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

It was good to get out, for sure!
Duck diversity is still low, but that’s expected with everything frozen up. I’m hoping for a slow retreat of the freeze so we get a nice concentration of ducks in March.

This is about 651 kg of filament that we have gone through. It really does help to get gift cards for non-Amazon sources!

Working people should not have to sell their PLASMA to make ends meet.
In this economy, corporations and billionaires are getting richer, while working people are scraping for crumbs. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field.

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

I bought cheap notebooks as reading journals for my class this semester, and just about halfway through, it’s been a huge success. I’ve never a higher percentage of the class participating, and coming to class having read well with good questions. In a 2000 level Gen Ed class of mostly non-majors.
Last semester, I shifted what had been a 4-part series of online discussion posts to a 4-part series of in-class, pen and paper short essays. I've never received more positive feedback in student evals from a single pedagogical decision ever. www.chronicle.com/article/to-s...
