Thanks for the heads-up!
This is the one and only reason I have not deleted my twitter account. When he first joined twitter I guess he followed whoever followed him!
I'm reading Pax right now so this is perfect timing. โค๏ธ๐ฆ

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.
Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

Today I cancelled my $230 a year subscription to Adobe Pro, the software I used for PDF accessibility. I'm sad, but I hadn't used it since I retired. Plus at that price, I think it's robbery. #accessibility #pdf #adobe
