LOOK at this handsome American Crow fledgling! 😍🖤 His parents are valiantly protecting him from humans, off-leash dogs, and other predators. This is the same kiddo my fellow rescuer and I have been checking on since yesterday. She has a real camera that snaps gorgeous shots like this. 🪶

"In the real world no one will accommodate you" is trauma talking. It's true that people aren't falling over themselves to help me but my adult life is way more accommodating than my childhood was, because adults get to make choices. I'm accommodating myself.
stop telling your neurodivergent child that in "the real world" people won't accommodate them, so they should suck it up. this is the real world and you shouldn't be your child's first bully

I won’t believe it til I see it. Been pure terror for two months for immigrant communities.
Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.
Federal Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino and agents said to be leaving Chicago, sources say
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.
Department of Homeland Security agents were shot at during an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago Saturday, the agency said — as federal agents were also accused of using pepper spray and flash-bang grenades against protesters across the Chicago area.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

Well, these images have done the viral circuit, and are now at the spot where people are accusing them of being AI.
Bummer to those folks: they are not AI. These are real photographs, made with my mirrorless cameras.
Media literacy sure is lost on so many people, it's quite sad.

Even if you have AMAZING employer insurance and will never leave your job and they keep costs down or fully fund it...no employer health insurance can save you from hospital/clinic/supplier/etc closures caused by falling off a cliff on Medicaid, Medicaid, and private insurance reimbursement.
Also if you get insurance through your employer and are sighing a deep breath of relief (while obviously still giving a shit about this issue)
understand your insurance through your employer can go up as well, and coverage offered lessened.
And if you lose your job and can't quickly find another

Mobiles lounges = people movers. Basically waiting rooms on wheels. Used to transport passengers between main terminal & some remote termials & even directly with some planes at Dulles. They go back to when Dulles opened in the 60s & are gradually being phased out.

I was originally supposed to fly into and out of Dulles this week before plans changed. 😐
