I haven't shared any birds in a long time. Here's an incredibly cute young Barred Owl that I saw this year in Pittsburgh's Frick Park.

identifying as From A Place just means making yourself insane in very specific ways such that you can believe deranged and out of touch with reality stuff like "our flag isn't stupid" "our hot sauce is better than other hot sauces" "our drivers are worse than other drivers" etc etc

Really appreciate the justified anger in this piece by @ryanlcooper.com.

The GOP's narrative about trans people "is and always has been a lie. What these people actually have is a seething, obsessive hatred of trans people. They want them either back in the closet or dead."

Watching BRAZIL (1985, dir. Terry Gilliam) really prepared me for authoritarian cultists being proud of their tacky plastic surgery

The headlines these days are like:

DHS Announces Swastika as New Logo
Trump Caught in Cabinet meeting with Pants Down
CDC Announces Free Measles Injections for Children
War with Random Country Imminent for No Reason
President Pardons Pedophiles and Insurrectionists

I'd like to chat to one or two people, ideally women (I've already talked to a load of men) who've got into the Merlin app for identifying birdsong this year. For a nice positive story. Please drop me a line, thank you!
