I saw this bird eat an entire piece of fried chicken rescued from a dumpster. It had the absolute best time doing it, too.
A black-crowned night heron walking along the edge of a street curb in a red zone. One leg is blurry but identifiable and the other is just a blur from the walking speed.

Chumbawamba's ABCDEFG
The cover of ABCDEFG by Chumbawamba, which shows five people's legs and feet arranged around a microphone stand with a cable running casually away, a bit looping with one small coil. The bottom halves of the people are the top half of the album cover, and below them are the band's name across two lines in black followed by the album title on a third line in a pastel rainbow of green, periwinkle, pink, yellow, orange, seafoam, and the first green again. All of the text is all-caps and textured as if a print roller wasn't quite properly inked. The album title is barely-perceptibly smaller than the band name to keep the line lengths even. The outermost edges of the legs and the text are approximately aligned

Also, there are so few politicians???? even if they were right about this disqualifying 90% of US men{CN}, the data I can find is that there are only like half a million politicians in the US? That makes it 0.0000001459% of the total population? 10% of people eligible leaves SO MANY to spare!

5. Reading this story about Horace Greeley feels like important context for the current moment... y'all've BEEN like this 🤣 The amount of community organizing effort that'd hafta go into amassing *one hundred* different varieties of *anything*, and when communication was much harder... whew!
Title of Desserts over book name Recipes from Minnesota with Love... on page 137. A little bit of an old-style plastic binding is visible at the left of the page. "In 1865, Horace Greeley made a speech at the Minnesota State Fair. Upon returning to the fair in 1871, he was greeted with a banner showing an excerpt from his 1865 speech. 'I should like to live in Minnesota but for one thing, you will never be able to raise apples here.' Under the banner, on display, were 100 varieties of apples grown in Minnesota."

sometimes it backfires but sometimes you gotta go for it!
A badger friend of Frances, a badger children's character by author Russell Hoban with various illustrators, sits on a wooden porch between a tea set and a vine. Frances is holding a teacup and looks distraught. Text at the bottom of the page says: 
"Being careful is not as much fun as being friends," said Frances. "Do you want to be careful, or do you want to be friends?" 

The page number in the bottom middle is 55.

You all were excellent inspiration to wear cuter-than-planned shoes tonight. Thank you 💖
