Literature seems to be in retreat—not just in the Anglosphere, but everywhere. Baffler no. 81 assembles writers (and translators) from across the world to describe what postliteracy looks like in South Korea, in Mexico, in Sudan. thebaffler.com/salvos/brain-rot-without-borders

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Reposting this masked tityra for #birdoftheday (primarily white birds). I feel like white is pretty common for water birds but rare otherwise? Wonder why that is.

Poster I made for the Great Midwest Crane Fest!

Alright birdsky, DO I HAVE A FIND FOR YOU! I just saw this one in a group of great tailed grackles, but tons of red winged black birds in the area. No brewers. Leucistic? A rough, rare, molt? A different bird altogether? A vitamin deficiency? It was acting and normally and no birds bothered it 🪶

First warbler of the season! Look at the claws on this little guy #birds 🇨🇷

#Silksong was announced, not released, made a meme for not releasing, and then actually released in less time than star citizen has been in development

Rough going from the high of Labor Day to the low that is TODAY but I'm glad I could end the day watching these cute little borbs chill before a long flight away 🥰🪶

Kingfisher! I find it cool that one of the main things these guys share with motmots is that they make nests in dirt walls. It's like finding out your cousin also shares your weird behaviors such as storing ketchup in the pantry. #birds #costarica

Finally found these! I've been hearing their calls for months. Called "saltarín toledo" in Spanish because their call sounds like someone calling out to "to-le-do". Long-tailed manakin (chiroxiphia linearis) #birds #costarica

It's not a hatred of cars for me so much as it's a hatred of a system that prioritizes cars above all else at the expense of thousands of lives, poorer health outcomes, and worse quality of life. I drive, but I want to live in a community where it is safer and easier to drive less or not at all.
