Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

It's never been more important for you to actually CONTRIBUTE to the places you consider your "home". Is it a convention? Volunteer. Is it your local LGBT center? fundraise. Is it your local library? Ask how you can help them keep funding. NOTHING you love just exists, it needs effort to stay alive!

This was the first thing I wrote after I left the Washington Post almost three years ago. What a wild ride (to hell) it has been. gillianbrockell.com/one-neat-tri...

So, here it is - with apologies to my former editor for getting this out way too late - one neat trick that proves the Civil War was not about states' rights:
If the Civil War had been about upholding states' rights, then slave states would have been fine with non-slave states passing laws protecting Black residents who had self-emancipated ("run away") from slave states. Slave states weren't fine with that.
They pushed a federal law - the Fugitive Slave Act - that superseded states' rights, forcing federal marshals to arrest and transport these people, regardless of the laws of the state they were in.
Bloop! That's it!
In the lead-up the Civil War, this was a common point made by antislavery activists
- a ubiquitous thing we have somehow forgotten, like sewing our own clothes or shape-note singing.

This thread is about a cat (and a cat rescue) who needs help. I know the feeling of having and loving a cat with an intractable illness that is killing them despite everything you can think of to do, and it breaks my heart. Please share, and if you can, please donate.

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!

a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.

Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.
