Portrait of rufous capped warbler perched in a busy tree

As a North American birder, I can’t help but be enamored by our little warblers

This rufous-capped warbler was my last warbler lifer at the end of my trip this past March in Minca, Colombia

I went back and listened to @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ’s 2017 conversation with Patty (linked from Alice’s post below) and it’s so, so beautiful. Listen for reflections on disability and aging, being an elder, developing a fond friendship with your body: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2017/11/26/e...

Nai works so well in this scheme!

Offense-wise, the lynx’s movement is definitely more hesitant without Phee to work in the post / run high-low; but add back Phee + gain Nai as a fearsome slasher, and the lynx are even more scary and dynamic at every distance..!!

But cmon 3 ball pls fall 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was just thinking about the old adage that while tons of books have been written, nobody can write *your* book because nobody else has your lived experiences, thoughts, emotions and so on. On the other hand, *anyone* can write GenAI slop because it can ONLY write what's already been written.

crabs!!!! comrades!!!!

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

it's so shit jessa 😭🔪😭🔪😭

I say it all of the time but I need to repeat this. Talk to elders who were activists and organizers in previous eras because they will share how much in the minority they were.

I don’t think I’m naïve about the institutional pressures (and hidden conservative / neoliberal propping-up) that shape higher ed, especially in this ivy corner. but I am heartbroken that we purport to sell the dream of a progressive education specifically to students we then fail to keep safe

Brown University is ‘functionally inaccessible’ to transgender students after Trump settlement “Everyone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.

sending all my solidarity and despair to my trans fam working in higher ed right now. it’s bad here. what are we supposed to do? how do we “welcome” trans students in the fall into institutions that makes their (our) lives “functionally inaccessible?” … www.advocate.com/news/transge...

I love (hate) that this is equal parts menacing threat from an industry that can legit derail our lives (I spent 6 years paying down med bills) AND an industry full of bullshit work telling on itself (like, whatever funding going into UX/writing here is stolen from our literal health care!)

I know it sounds silly, but @pewpewbang.bsky.social was conceived as a response to the absolute fury and hopelessness we felt late last year.
We wanted to be unapologetically weird, fun, loud women, and create somewhere other people who needed an escape from The Horrors could laugh & have some fun.
