I know it's small in the whole scheme of things, but the bloodbath at NPS in Hawaii is almost certainly going to lead directly to the extinctions of no fewer than 4 native Hawaiian songbirds in the next 4-5 years.

Really ready for @flashes.blue because instagram keeps doing this shit. All my perfectly cropped photos look like garbage now on the profile page. #instagram😠

Why will no one say it? It's always "appeared to be" or "looks like".

It can be reported as misleading content

We get them all the time here in Nebraska, but they seem to be a bit more scarce this winter. Nice find!

Great weekend for a quick hike at Fontenelle Forest. Lots of woodpeckers out and about #ricohgriii #photography

A lot of these could just be renamed to "North American", which I think was the original idea

Getting your first photo of a new species is so exciting, congrats!

Pileated Woodpecker! Big goofballs just smashing their heads into trees to eat bugs. Amazing

Question. will apps like Flashes and Skylight Social use the same data repositories? Or just the same user networks?

Shoutout to @effinbirds.com daily desk calendar for being so on point this week

What is even real anymore?

Even impeachment doesn't work these days, or felony convictions. Scary times

These ones look like a fancy candy

Yep! @flashesapp.bsky.social

I need to catch up on your books! I finally caught up with Brandon Sanderson, but he probably released another book as I wrote this

Even if this worked, insurance companies wouldn't cover it

Love how they'll just roost anywhere, a pallet in a gravel lot, classic 😂

I'm waiting for Flashes. Will use the same AT proto network that we're already creating here.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.
