Pressuring TV networks to fire late night talk show hosts for criticizing him.
Suing newspapers for reporting he doesn’t like.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

No one is safe from gun violence in America.
We do not have to keep living like this.
Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Or maybe you finally grabbed a copy of @stonemaiergames.com #wyrmspan, designed by the talented @connievdc.bsky.social, this year while attending #GenCon2025
I've designed a box organizer and some neat little upgrades for this beaut of a game as well.

New publication! 🚨
If you're looking for a paper on what great tits eat then this is for you! 🦋🐛🐞🪲🐦
We looked at variation in diet using DNA metabarcoding and found lots of differences between adult and young birds and between habitat types.

Re-upping this: If you are an ornithologist (ideally U.S.-based) who uses bird banding or BBS data in your work, I'd love to hear from you! You could comment as something like "a scientist from a state university" (for example) if you don't want to use your name.
Pls share: I'm seeking ornithologists willing to comment about how the Bird Banding Lab &/or Breeding Bird Survey are crucial to their research & conservation efforts, for a piece for @therevelator.org defending these programs. Reply, DM, or email me at rebecca dot heisman at gmail. #ornithology

Chickadees add additional "dees" to their "chick-a-dee-dee" alarm call depending on the severity of the threat they perceive. Captive chickadees presented with a predatory pygmy owl were so freaked out they strung together 23 "dees"!
