In elementary school people had to write a story about the Talking Pets They Wanted
Most said dog or cat some said guinea pig/hamster
I said screw that I want a Parrot
Not gonna Poach One tho

The rising demand for African grey parrots and the price for a single bird — as much as $7,000 — drive rampant poaching.
An estimated 1.3 million were traded from 1975-2015, but the true number taken was likely far higher because most die in transit.

How women over 30 are rewriting the single mom narrative in America
Forty percent of babies in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers. Increasingly, those moms are over 30, at a time when teen pregnancy has fallen off a cliff and births are declining for younger women...

Don’t really have time for the “no one’s doing anything on climate, we’re doomed” people to now pivot to “we’ve gone from 3.6C to 2.6, still doomed.” You do not declare a war over because you haven’t won after the first handful of battles. That is called “surrendering”

3/ One of the two panels described how a million African-Americans volunteered for service during World War II, but had to fight against both the enemy and racism on their own side, including segregation within the army itself that confined many to supporting roles.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.
