Fern and I will pick up the last of the spuds for the year. Have to wait for fall for the local ones (not baby spuds, that is different). I should do a thread on local food and how to find, wholesale/retail/aggregators/setting up mutual aid boxes, etc.

The problem of bird-window collisions made NPR's All Things Considered last week! #ornithology

As birds migrate south, there's an invisible danger: glass

A huge threat to migrating birds is colliding with a building. Now birding groups are banding together with government agencies and others to form one united front to tackle the problem.

To be honest it better to give them cash than items. They can purchase what is needed at scale rather than try to manage inventory of random unplanned receipt of items.

Got up from the computer and went for a walk with a friend. A great day for it.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.

Then ICE arrested him.

If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.

Ok. Saw this and will need to make it now. Pretty sure I can freeform it at this point in my fiber art journey.

Fern said this too. I was like, no bud, not under the eves. I swear I heard something about indoor plumbing for dogs.

I love how the phone gave me a ‘it’s almost time for bed’ warning just now. I’m slow getting going and was like ‘you too?’ Anyhow. A 9am is about to happen and I need to look more human…

I know people who had names changed. Sure some did it themselves, but others did not have a choice.
