I illustrate pictures of birds my kids picked out to put on their lunchboxes. Previous years have been animals, robots, dinosaurs, and random scenarios.

Bracketing that they absolutely failed here. And bracketing that such a failure reflects a dearth of discipline, understanding, and acumen...
They just don't got the juice, man. Absolutely sauceless leadership.

Schoolbag Bird 18
Pelicans use their bill pouches to scoop up food and swallow it, but they never carry food in the pouches while flying like in some cartoons.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.
Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Cerulean Warbler

Like other small birds, the cerulean warbler will use spider webbing in their nests, and even reuse the webs from an old nest to help construct a new one.

A Cedar Waxwings’ primary diet is fruit, and sometimes they can even get a little tipsy from eating too many overripe berries that have fermented in the sun.

For their courtship display, males will fly up to 130 feet in the air, then dive straight down towards the ground, pulling up at the last second and spreading their tail feathers out to emit a loud squeak.

Black Skimmer
Schoolbag Bird 12
Black Skimmers feed by flying close to the water surface and dropping their long, narrow, lower bill into the water, gliding along until they feel a fish, at which point they quickly snap their jaws shut and swallow the fish.

Brown-headed Cowbird
Schoolbag Bird 11
Instead of building their own nests, Brown-headed Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species who then end up raising young cowbirds. Worst parents ever.
