Hey, BlueSky! I'm a conservation professional and equal-opportunity nature and science enthusiast trying to pull away from FB and Threads without feeling out of touch. I'm an erratic poster, but follow me if you enjoy the occasional hummingbird, birding, garden, and pet chicken posts in your feed.

A tiny proportion of the river of Blackbirds at Long Point last evening. Sound on for the magical sound of thousands of fluttering wings at the end.

the pet food bank near me has been having to close early from running out of food, so if this is your lane this is another way to help
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.
Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets

1. Never answer unknown callers. Send them start to voicemail. You will start getting less scam calls.

The most alarming:
1. Job listings on Indeed and LinkedIn that turn into parcel mule scams
2. More sophisticated elder scams many which appear to be a direct result of online data leaked or sold by private companies

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
