Hold onto your masks, MD!

As you steel yourself for today's news and navigating this crueler, more precarious world in general, perhaps you might find inspiration in the magpies of Antwerp who looked at anti-bird spikes and thought "I could build a nest with that" (research and pix by @aukeflorian.nl)

I say this as much to myself as anyone else: this is their goal. To pelt us with every vile declaration & action, to make us feel battered, powerless & defeated at every turn.
