Finding the old birding, nature, science, art, books and music peeps I missed from that other place.

what perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Uggghh so hard. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Sarah M. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins, Janet - Janet Jackson & so many more amazing artists came up in 93. I just can't. 😆

Not perfect, but things I really dug

Beyond all this, Monica Lewinski has turned the shitstorm that comes with being a public relations punching bag for the world's most powerful man into a platform from which she has supported and uplifted countless other women.

Monica Lewinski is a hero, and everyone needs to get off her lawn.
Monica Lewinski went through Hell because of Bill Clinton and she was 21 when she started working for him.

Please leave that poor woman be in all the funning. She was destroyed by the public and he kept on keeping on as the president.

So I am sad to say that I thought the incidences of poop in my life when I switched careers from animal care to librarian would drop a lot more than they have. 🙃

A good thread and good reminder that we need better ways to talk about nature loss. 🪶
I grew up in Ohio, obsessed with Ohio birds. Then spent ~10 years away for undergrad research and grad school before being back in Ohio.

And the biodiversity loss is obvious just over that 10 year period-- birds that used to be relatively easy to find are just...not anymore.

This also goes for any issue someone else has a lot of personal experience with that you don't.
note that when someone talks about food aversion, or a caregiver of someone with food aversion talks about it, your common sense advice (make your own! Fake it with packaging! Buy this other brand!) isn't going to be helpful. It's not our first day. We've thought of it.
