If you're not familar with Piping Plovers, that's not surprising. Few remain in the Great Lakes. As part of the male Piping Plover's mating display, it tries to impress a potential mate with its high kicks. They're adorably hilarious. Seriously, watch the video: youtu.be/lMmv1W34Jb8?...

#Birdmander conservation call to action: Great Lakes Piping Plovers are endangered. There are fewer than 100 breeding pairs in the wild. This July, the U.S. federal government changed its rules to permit destroying nest sites and habitats of endangered species. Piping Plovers WILL be harmed.

The government seriously tried to claim that a $108 million luxury jet with marble showers, a wine chiller, electric bidets, and a table covered in manta ray skin would be used for deportation flights, to justify buying it with a no-bid contract.

It's worth remembering that this is from Tucker's own show. Rees-Mogg (who's also a colossal shithead, for any blissfully unaware Americans) didn't somehow catch Tucker with a gotcha question. This isn't a gaffe. Tucker chose this line of discussion because he wanted to make this exact point.

#Birdmander conservation call to action: The history of Passenger Pigeons shows that even abundant bird species can be devastated by careless human activity. There were an estimated 3 to 5 billion Passenger Pigeons in North America at the time of European colonization. By 1914, they were extinct.

It's #Vorthos spooky season! I'll periodically share some of my Innistrad-themed #MTG #fanfic stories here in this thread. This story was inspired by the cards Ghost Ship and Geistcatcher's Rig. "You Can't Kill What's Already Dead": archiveofourown.org/works/23230234

The Magic card Ghost Ship, which reads:

Ghost Ship
{2}{U}{U}
Creature — Spirit

Flying

{U}{U}{U}: Regenerate this creature.

“That phantom prow split the storm as lightning cast its long shadow on the battlefield below.” —Mireille Gaetane, The Valeriad

2/4

The Magic card Geistcatcher's Rig, which reads:

Geistcatcher's Rig
{6}
Artifact Creature — Construct

When this creature enters, you may have it deal 4 damage to target creature with flying.

The rigs were outlawed except in Nephalia, where malign spirits are as plentiful as crazed inventors.
