YouGov @yougov.co.uk · 6h

How many browsing tabs do you typically have open?*

1: 6%

More than 30: 3%

bless these brave souls for managing all these indignant geese! they are not easy creatures!

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 6h

one of the centers wasn't taking water fowl & the other one hasn't called me back. i also felt bad because he was on his own—no other geese around, which honestly felt unusual. anyway! i hope between everyone we can figure out how to help this animal.

yash! thanks for this! i have done bird taxi for smaller injured birds but felt daunted by a goose. he was still eating and wandering around & swimming in the lake, so ultimately out of reach for me today. i hope your posts can also help someone else!

noticed a goose with a broken or damaged wing on my walk & called three different orgs about it. one of them was like, can you get it and bring it in?

Mine was over 200 in the hot summer months—just for my apartment. Maybe double from previous summers? Normally, it’s under $50.

anyway, at least today i get to hear elizabeth mccracken say smart things about fiction

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 1d

there is too much happening to also have to read stupid posts claiming that anti-AI language is eugenics. no.

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 1d

this is doubly true if you didn't get to participate in meetings or discovery. sorry for the linkedin-esque post, i am just feeling vindicated by this best practice today lol

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 1d

i always insist on detailed strategy docs & content briefs. when the rubber hits the road, you get to see the gap between what an org has documented & what direction lives in the heads of staff.
