  @BlueWaver22 Because the treaty had Obama’s name on it. We know who owns the war crimes.

  @Da_Gut Thanks for this. I had not seen it. Sharpies prefer European Starlings & House Sparrows?!? My new favorite Hawk. Or shall I say, my new favorite rapture 😎 #AlwaysLearning #birds

  @extraspecialbitter@indieauthors.social @NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe I’ve been enjoying it too. I’m somewhat of a rule follower, and a rule breaker. We could establish rules, like: If you want a rengay, hashtag as such Coauthors get X hours, then it’s fair game Etc. Or no rules. I prefer no rules. If my poetry gets too bad, you can always block me.

  Scott published some of his own works in his own “vanity press,” Thistlewords Press, including a remarkable naturalist’s narrative about a year of nature observations—at least one observation for 365 straight days (Following the Earth Around). All of which were uploaded to #iNaturalist, to which he contributed many observations over the years. Red Dragonfly Press elevated the works of others, not his own work.

  I guess this is a productive use of my daylight hours during retirement. I don’t use a blind generally, just photograph if I’m presented an opportunity while ambling. The Eastern Towhee was semi-cooperative. The Sharp-shinned Hawk—let’s just say this is the best photo of a Shinnie that I’ve ever taken. 46 bird species on today’s amble: https://ebird.org/checklist/S322156284 #eBird #birding #BirdWatching #BadBirdPhotos #nature #OptOutside #birds #SpringMigration #spring

  @bikenite@fedigroups.social @ascentale@sfba.social No, but my local bike shop requires that e-bike owners take their battery with them if they leave their bike for repairs. Insurance reasons due to fire risk. Probably overblown. #BikeNite a6

  @stevendbrewer@wandering.shop @extraspecialbitter@indieauthors.social @asakiyume@wandering.shop @NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe Agree. The live, in-person experience is an end member; an ideal. I’m open to options: simple & crude & as people can respond on the Masto; & organized live video chat. I may participate in either or both. A coalition of the willing. I’ll dip my toes first, maybe host a virtual meeting later. #LinkedVerse #renga #renku #RengaThis #hokku

  A very Minnesota sign. “I’m so darn mad I didn’t even bring a hotdish” #NoKings #StPaul #Minnesota #MNastodon [edit: made it public]

  This opinion piece does a good job differentiating e-bikes from e-moto, and the relative risks/dangers thereof: https://www.startribune.com/ebike-motorcycle-pedestrian-crashes-injuries/601597693?utm_source=gift And: news article about Minnesota legislators’ efforts to rein in e-motos: https://www.startribune.com/electric-motor-bikes-are-viewed-as-an-emerging-safety-issue-new-state-legislation-aims-to-rein-them-in/601596793?utm_source=gift #BikeTooter #eBikes #eMoto

  Also just learned of ACERE's founder, Madea Benjamin (https://www.codepink.org/medea_benjamin), co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK (https://www.codepink.org/), a feminist organization for peace, working on #Cuba, #Palestine, #Iran, #LatinAmerica I'm late to the party, but I approve of the mission & work of these organizations. #CodePink #ACERE It's inspiring to discover heroes like Madea Benjamin, fighting the good fight with such tenacity.
