Birds, politics shouting, jewsky, snacks, music and other flights of fancy. Reporting live from Queens, NY. My profile pic is a one-eyed screech owl named Otis who lives at a sanctuary in NJ. He is very smol in real life.

Clinton, Trump, Cuomo, Jeffries, Torres and countless others spend all their time telling Jewish Americans we're not as smart as them and then get confused and mad when we back AOC and Mamdani. We're Americans, not Israelis. War crimes are war crimes; I do not care about the war criminals.

Kids only learn about child Helen Keller and not the radical socialist that Wilson wanted to assassinate. He was maybe the most anti-semitic president specifically 🤔.

*only in certain editions but I know the folks who lovingly re-released it last did put squirrel back in I think

Also forgot, anything by Deb Perelman from Smitten Kitchen. Her recipes always work and are so well explained and documented. Her testing process is one of the most rigorous in cookbook publishing imho.

Salt Fire Acid Heat for those that want to know why to do something. My Two Souths for people that love either southern food or indian and like shopping. A lot of Ina Garten's books are actually good, my aunt has all of them and they do have good results. David Lebovitz for food, writing, and photos

I understand taking specimens means killing birds, but people like Wilson (who i referenced) are ok being left in a textbook and not on a bird. Descriptive common names or indigenous names make way more sense in 2025. We can acknowledge Audobon's contributions but can't ignore he enslaved humans.

I did a big chuckle when he totally failed to sell most of his show at forest hills stadium and FHS tried to email the locals list to give away tix and we still did not take them.

I feel like a bird should not be named after the guy who shot it but that is just my opinion.

They are, it is also supported by lots of bird alliances (or audobon's groups, if they are too conservative to have renamed yet) nationally in the US.

Why I am excited for the Bird Names for Birds initiative in the works in North America. Especially not sorry to see Wilson's warbler be named literally anything else. Black-capped warbler is right there.

North American birding orgs are also working on replacing birds named after dead guys in favor of common names that describe them at least. Would love more indigenous and sound-bases names. It is just sloooow going.

*obviously she is not a journalist, but she gets people to say things they never would in a traditional setting imho

The only person I have seen do it well is Ziwe, because she knows how to work people herself and is comfortable in making a really uncomfortable moment.
