"No fancy edit this time, just a continuous smooth flight of this majestic peregrine falcon. I was so lucky to share a few moments with her as she approached head on while patrolling her airspace.

btw did you know you can subscribe to PBS for only like $5/mo or a $60 one-time for a year donation, and get access to their Passport streaming service? They mail you a little live programming guide and everything, too. The 40-something seasons of NOVA alone are worth it.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

A drawing of a faux vintage-style logo for Salty Britches Coarse Salt. The logo features a tabby kitten with arms akimbo, wearing yellow britches with patches, holding a container of salt in one paw and dumping it out. The flavor text reads "Add some 'tude to your food!" and "This salt supplies sass, a necessary nutrient"

I don't think people understand the gravity of making librarians and teachers *criminally liable* for disseminating information. Fascist shit, from a known playbook. No one has the luxury of being surprised anymore.
