#newfountainpenday Impulse buy- new fountain pen 🖋️ Nahvular Nautilus Bronze Corydoras. I really enjoyed writing with my first Nautilus so added another. The blotter paper is from Esterbrook. My squid pen holder rounds out the theme! 🦑 🐬

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

‼️Take Bold Action for Birds NOW: We’re 400 signatures away from 10,000 calling on Congress to protect migratory birds.

Up to 1 billion birds die each year from preventable causes. The MBTA has protected them for 100+ years — but it’s at risk.

Today I read two articles that includes the most important, fact backed (with links) material I’ve read in over a decade.

You must read this to understand how our election was rigged and stolen.

Thanks to @lowcarbonkev.bsky.social for the excellent graphic.

There don’t seem to be that many of us, but, you know, it’s the birding community, so manage your expectations. 🤣

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

Earth is likely to cross a key climate threshold in two years

A new World Meteorological Organization report spells the end of the world’s most famous climate goal.

Lovely White-throated Mountain-gem (female). We were fortunate to see so many of these, but only the females. We didn’t spot a male at all. Recent trip to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 🪶

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

My Mom died of cancer.
My grandparents died of cancer.
My best friend died of cancer.

Many of YOU, Democrats and Republicans, have friends and loved ones who died of cancer.

Cutting cancer research is evil AF, and we should ALL agree on that. If we can't, we're cooked.
