Bird protocol activated!

Take a bird; leave a bird 🪶

Red-breasted Mergansers

Portrait-oriented photo featuring a wooden post with a rusted hanger hook jutting out of it, and standing atop the post, triumphant and at least slightly indignant, is a plump little bluebird. The bluebird is a male, and we see the electric blue of his head, but the predominant part facing us is the coppery-orange and pale white front. He is standing amidst little pink-and-red tree blossoms, but I like to imagine these are instead the extracted organs of his enemies. So let's just pretend this bluebird stands vengefully astride a scattering of viscera -- gobbets of gore taken as a prize from his unnatural and invasive foes. I'm sorry I've really made this a gross photo. It's actually quite nice. Kind of a dreamy vibe to it, what with the wall of yellow forsythia blurring in the background, and here I am adding drippy bits and internal organs. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time. Probably.

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye

My mom had so many issues getting her inheritance from my grandmother.... Because she KEPT her maiden name! The bank etc kept asking for proof of name change back from her married name. She kept saying but I never changed it in the first place so how tf would I have that?

I don't recommend hyphenating your name; causes all sorts of problems on documentation now that everything is computerized. Only reason I changed my maiden name when I got married was to ditch the hyphen

I would like to hire a parental like figure for random inspections please

This me today

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Reading this one right now and loving it!!!

This keeps getting worse and worse.

I don't want Canada or Greenland…

I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

They’ll grab anyone they want and ship them to another country. Get 🗣️ Loud!
This has to stop!!!!

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath.

And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth.

This is why journalism matters.

Oooh that looks so good!!!

My mother in law was recently ranting against the ACA and Medicaid on Facebook.... Her son, my husband, battled lymphoma at age 17, and only thanks to CHIP was able to get the life saving treatments he needed.

They're my favorites; always so much personality!

I prefer soft magic systems... Or at least systems that are also soft to the MC 😂 like there ARE rules to the magic but no one has an f-ing clue what they are

Hard agree!

You're in for a treat 😍

I hadn't heard of Name Her Holy but I looked it up and it was an insta buy for me 😍 ordered it thru my indie bookstore and eagerly awaiting its arrival. Thank you for sharing!
