Rescues pigeons. Writes dead dove. Agent of chaos rooting for the underdog. Over here because the constant stream of ads and RWNJs on FB was making it all a bit shit.

Rose wasn't eating seeds at first, so I provided peas and corn. This morning s/he was happily pecking away at the seeds! #pigeons #pigeonrescue #pigeonsky

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. 🤣
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".

Rose is only a lil squeaker. Alert, holding him/herself up well, drinking well, eating here and there. #pigeonrescue #pigeons #pigeonsky

Anyway, poor little Rose (the woman who'd found her/him said she was calling them Rose) is now in my bathroom and has been having a drink and some food.

....and of course, I just happen to come across another sick pigeon who was struggling. This woman was looking out for him/her and feeding them.

Just knowing there's someone else who noticed the poor bird and cared enough to be concerned was weirdly touching.

In Nazi Germany, people went about their daily lives, shopping, playing, dating, and going to movies. Complacency is how fascism thrives.
If things feel normal right now, that should terrify you.😯

I've never read a Jilly Cooper book - they're not written for me and that's fine - but she made an absolute mint and spent it on things like rescuing greyhounds and having a jolly good time. She made the world a better place with the cash and will be mourned.

An example somebody could learn from...

@bradcollins128: Being a Canadian right now is like having a neighbour who's left their car alarm going for three years.

@Stahlmatt: Imagine what it's like being locked in the car.

I *knew* this report was going to be about welfare or the robodebt situation before even opening the link.

Robodebt drove people to suicide.

Omfg, my veganniversary is today (October 7th), but only 13 years ago. 47 years ago it must have been so different!

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.

Bless Dr. Jane Goodall’s Final Message To Humanity

In which she tells us who she'd launch into space.

This is the first I have heard about this, but whoa. I only vaguely know who Bad Bunny is, and the only Spanish I know is from Queen of the South and Dora the Explorer, but he's just gone up in my book for doing that. #badbunny
