I do want to remind folks today that I would guess at least half of the horrors people are posting about in the SAVE Act?
Already law in the much of south. They know it works because they did it to Black communities & everyone shrugged and made jokes about how we voted for every natural disaster.

Here's a video from my wife's family's farm. The cows are Salers cattle - primarily for beef. The farmers in the area still bell the cows once they're let out to graze in the spring, so you really want sound for this.

it's #SuperbOwl Sunday! Best day of the year. For your consideration, the Blakiston's fish owl. Largest owls in the world (six-foot wingspans, weigh close to a bald eagle), salmon eaters, live year-round in remote forests of northeast Asia. 🦉

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.
I'm going to keep hammering at this one until it's met, because the family is running out of time.
Niko, age 3, is autistic and has cerebral palsy. He needs urgent kidney surgery. No hospital in NM can do it. He has to go to Colorado.

Phenomenal offering from @appalachianweird.bsky.social with all proceeds going to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. If you're not familiar with this botanical wonder, it is a thermogenic plant which generates its own heat to melt snow around it and get growing early. www.etsy.com/listing/4454...

The conditions in Burlington are horrific, but it should be underscored that there is no such thing as a humane concentration camp
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.
ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say
