Happy International Bat Appreciation day! 🦇🌎🧪
I’ve been fortunate to work with a wide range of species in Canada, having done bat studies for both my BSc (Hons) & MSc.
These animals are so very unique and interesting!

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights.
I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify *them* into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Just aging a pile of books by my bed.
Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Remember when the rule of law applied the same to everyone in America, whether you were President of the United States or an undocumented immigrant?
Now it doesn't seem to apply to either.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.
