Loving birds, fighting for libraries, finding the intersectionality between them and socialism. 🌹 eBird profile:
Worked up a few more linocut stamps over the past few days. One in particular may interest @stopthedata.bsky.social
This is probably what you're seeing! The male is black with a vibrant orange in place of the yellow patches. Keeping the same feather pattern but swapping out muted coloration is common in warblers.
I rarely participate in #BirdOfTheDay but I have something for the #ButtShot theme!
Spent the weekend with @vetsaboutface.bsky.social in Philadelphia for the Veteran’s Against Fascism march. Always inspiring to be around other strong veterans with a message of strength against the use of military forces in unjust ways abroad and at home.
Didn’t bring my bins to Philly (too hot to be outside), but still busy birding in a museum. I love these grackles!
More work on some linocut. Unfortunately I feel like I may be making very dumb things nonstop.
You COULD NOT PAY ME enough to post a comment like this on LinkedIn
Come out and see @huronvalleydsa.bsky.social at the Ypsilanti Juneteenth event today and tomorrow! We have buttons, snacks, water, and information about local issues.
While I’m pleased that we have cooling sites available in Washtenaw County, why is >90% of the responsibility falling on libraries? Where are the county and local governments taking responsibility for keeping residents safe?
Congratulations to William K. Friday for being appointed to the Planning Commission!
Join us tonight at the Ypsilanti Township Board meeting to let UM know the broad opposition to the Los Alamos data center being placed in our community. @stopthedata.bsky.social
Stewart’s, a gas station chain ubiquitous and beloved in Upstate NY, has the right idea.
Heads up for people that love furnace filters: Costco is beating the pants off Lowe’s hands down. You get higher filtration for less than half the cost of a single one from Lowe’s.
Great event tonight in Ypsi hosted by @dez4prez.bsky.social and featuring @abdulelsayed.bsky.social
The best part of LinkedIn games is absolutely crushing scores so people remember who they are dealing with at work. Sometimes I even surprise myself with the results.
I’m out canvassing today for Amber Fellows, who is running for mayor of Ypsilanti. If you’re looking for a dedicated community member who has spent years making a positive impact in Ypsi, look no further! Vote August 4th!
Spent an hour tonight carving a stamp. After four decades of saying “I can’t do art”, I’ve proven myself wrong.
I cannot leave the screen and it pauses if I don’t interact with it for more than two minutes.
