The ‘I’iwi is a Hawaiian honeycreeper found mostly on Maui, The Big Island and Kauai. They live in cooler climes to avoid mosquitoes that carry avian malaria.
Their red feathers were prized for capes and helmets in old Hawaii.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

They cause me so much anxiety, sometimes the slots fill in 2 hours sometimes the slots just sit there empty and dusty for hours. Self employment takes courage I’m not sure I always have.

WORST WORDS EVER
“No rest for the wicked and the righteous don’t need any”
This is something Mormons say to make them feel better about their white superiority.
