Expanded knowledge often leads to actions such as becoming involved in and supporting efforts to promote conservation and protection of the many bird species whose populations are dwindling. Hey Atlantic, maybe you could write about that.

What a steaming pile of horseshit, as is typical for The Atlantic. Why profile 2 bros whose only interest is in checking off species seen? I’ve been birding since childhood. Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s products—eBird and Merlin—have helped me sharpen my skills and expand my knowledge.

Huge thanks to you and to all the local organizers for your hard work. Taking part in my city’s No Kings protest and seeing the pics and videos from towns and cities across the country has given me hope. I’m more resolved than ever to fight for our democracy. Great job everyone!

They’re closing the SSA office in my state’s 2nd largest city. The next closest office is over 100 miles away. It’s about harming applicants & beneficiaries in terms of delays, travel costs, hassle, and anxiety, and harming SSA employees who’ll lose their jobs.
