Here's a video from my wife's family's farm. The cows are Salers cattle - primarily for beef. The farmers in the area still bell the cows once they're let out to graze in the spring, so you really want sound for this.

it's #SuperbOwl Sunday! Best day of the year. For your consideration, the Blakiston's fish owl. Largest owls in the world (six-foot wingspans, weigh close to a bald eagle), salmon eaters, live year-round in remote forests of northeast Asia. 🦉

Rent is the BARE MINIMUM I can keep surviving with. If I lose the room, it WILL be fatal within a very short time, and I have *no other options.*

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.
I'm going to keep hammering at this one until it's met, because the family is running out of time.
Niko, age 3, is autistic and has cerebral palsy. He needs urgent kidney surgery. No hospital in NM can do it. He has to go to Colorado.

Phenomenal offering from @appalachianweird.bsky.social with all proceeds going to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. If you're not familiar with this botanical wonder, it is a thermogenic plant which generates its own heat to melt snow around it and get growing early. www.etsy.com/listing/4454...

The conditions in Burlington are horrific, but it should be underscored that there is no such thing as a humane concentration camp
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.
ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them
LAPD Charges at Hundreds of High School Students in Peaceful Walkout Protest at MDC ~ L.A. TACO
LAPD arrested at least two teenagers protesting ICE raids in Los Angeles yesterday. They were also seen corresponding with ICE agents on Alameda Street during the demonstrations.

Same one. Because this family will run out of time very soon with little NIko's surgery scheduled for Feb, 26.
He's age 3, medically fragile with cerebral palsy. That means 4-6 weeks INPATIENT recovery time at an out-of-state hospital.
