It turns out you can't threaten to decimate the history and heritage of an entire region of the UK without serious opposition from the public. Please lend us your voice - History and Heritage have been a staple of Bangor for a century and a half, and is in danger of being destroyed.

Mystery of Welsh medieval cemetery deepens Skeletons and artefacts unearthed from the site near Cardiff Airport are baffling archaeologists.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Adding, NaNoWriMo: dumping hella responsibilities on unpaid, longterm volunteers, giving them no support (but free stickers!), and then being shocked when those volunteers quit.

A meme that says “Thrilled to get this book signed today.” It shows two pictures. The first is of the front of the book, Dolphins: Our Friends in the Sea, which has a picture of two Atlantic bottlenosed dolphins in blue water on the cover, in front of a sandy beach. The second is of the inside cover of the book with the word “Eeeeeeeeee!” written in script.

Anyone else read this book multiple times as a kid? This meme made me cackle. #biologist

How about some week-old foster kittens?

I was wondering this, too... and whether it's "panic" or just, you know, "hey there's very little research on this and previously we've been discouraged from talking about it and also my body is being weird wtf?"

A reminder: posting is not activism and not all activism should be posted. ESPECIALLY when the US gov’t has been targeting people based on their social media (which they’ve always done but have gotten much more visible about it).

Anyway, don’t be this guy. Literally nobody likes this guy.

A Birdfy birdfeeder cam view of a California back yard in midMarch. Center of the image has a small yellow variant house finch facing the camera, looking to its left and contemplating eating some of the bird food on the pan in front of it. The sky is blue, but storms recently have left the camera lens blurry around the edges.

I am super excited to have yellow variant House Finches at my feeder this week... (which is a really niche thing to be excited about, but there we are)...

Thanks!

Oh where did you get your fluorite from? I have a tumbler but have not had any time to devote to it recently.

I love this time of year and this time of day, with the local murder roosting nearby. The sky is black with crows waking and sharing their plans for the day. It’s a raucous event. The geese have to shout to be heard over them. Meanwhile the Great Horned owls have gone back to bed. #birdnerd

So many people in the US don’t know about the protests. Gotta get louder, gotta tell more about them

Trump Administration’s Halt of CDC’s Weekly Scientific Report Stalls Bird Flu Studies - KFF Health News An unprecedented freeze on the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report sparks new concerns about political meddling in science.

The CDC's MMWR is out, but it's still missing bird flu studies, including one about dairy workers spreading the bird flu to their pet cats, and another about a risk of infectious among vets who work with cattle.

These studies are described in my story ICYMI ⬇️

Again. Don’t panic. Prepare.
