I think it depends. Blue Jays, for instance, will be aggressive to most other birds except other Blue Jays outside of mating season. But I do think they all recognize other species by sight, smell & call. I can always tell when there's a hawk around because the smaller birds lose their shit. ๐Ÿคฃ

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The presidentโ€™s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administrationโ€™s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

The 1st time I realized that the justice system, specifically police, don't protect women was when I was a child watching Nancy McKeon play Tracy Thurman in a movie on Lifetime. This was 1989, and we've made no progress with domestic violence protection since then. Latricia's fam deserve justice!

"I'm a Mess" has to be the most begging, yearning song that exists. He told her she could have slit his throat instead of leaving him. He even said the dog cried, and he just stopped working for 3 weeks. Help him!

They like Pepe. And they hate Taylor. That was the motivation for those votes because I really thought it was going to be them. Iris & Clarke are non-factors.

African American, in the United States specifically, means the descendants of transatlantic slavery. Black refers to phenotype. If you are not of African descendant with melanated skin, you are not Black. If you are not Black & a descendant of enslaved people, you are not African American.

Neither do Caribbeans, but their lived experience is completely different because they are from homogeneous (black) countries with very small immigrant populations.

It's so interesting (to me) that so many of you weren't assigned Animal Farm until late in high school. The Gen X crowd definitely had to read this by 6th/7th grade. Kinda unfair. Let me add this to my 7th grader's book list because her school doesn't seem to assign books at all. Not one book report

I have stopped recommending history based books to people online. I realize that a lot of people, myself included, would benefit from a few collegiate-level courses. A book, or three, is not enough.

Strange. I thought their interrogation technique was to keep suspects in the room for hours while psychologically torturing them and influencing their answers.

I read an article that said Bluesky was a bubble. That there was no room for desenting views. The issue isn't that most people on Bluesky have similar viewpoints, it's that the opposing viewpoints are mostly people saying shit like, "peepee poopoo." Adult toddlers who are trolling.
