Seeing one of these amazing birds is very high on my bucket list.
There are only 244 alive now, and thanks to the heroic efforts of people like @digs.bsky.social they have the best chance to remain with us. #kakapo #birds #GoodSouls

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

Every state is Mississippi now.
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Just wonderful.
Despite vaxx and masking Flu B nailed me. The 'band headache' as I call it bc it runs circular around my head for a full day is the absolute worst part imo.
Mask up, wash your hands frequently.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

So much fuchsia, Mr Anna’s is sporting nice color for #Valentine’sDay!
He is stopping by the #HummingbirdBuddy to see which ‘flower’ has the best juice.

I haven't seen this covered in any news outlets of note.
Yet.
It's rather shocking imo.

Katie Britt on DHS officers: "There are significant guardrails that have been put in place already in the bipartisan piece of legislation we negotiated. I think Democrats will vote that down, which means people are gonna continue this enforcement, but they're not gonna have the guardrails."

Nice! This is in the current Land for Wildlife magazine. Great to see the @birdlifeoz.bsky.social Powerful Owl Project getting coverage, and nice to be name checked :-)

Our daughter has a good friend that works for Starbucks, and her recent work schedule was slashed to only two days per week jepordizing her health insurance.
Why? Pressure from the higher ups to "cut labor costs." Oh, and so the CEO gets more jet time. @sbworkersunited.org
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.

It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

RFK Jr's dismissal of anything rooted in mRNA science is built on a hefty pack of lies, but you wouldn't know that from Amazon book reviews.
Can't imagine why that is. 🤔

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

After last year's irruption year (explosion in numbers), things have been much slower this year on the Great Grey Owl front. They are such beautiful creatures. #wildlife #owls
