This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

[Robyn Shepherd @RobynPShepherd]

For my LA friends, and the job-seeking comms professionals who love them: This looks like a great opportunity with actual grown-up pay. If I weren't so thoroughly a creature of America's armpit, I would consider it myself, but this sounds like a great job for an Angeleno.

L.A. Material is HIRING. We're looking for an excellent and organized editor.

Come help us build something rigorous and revelatory and original and fun! We're having the best time.

This will be great, and I urge you all to tune in. And also: I know all about this. It was a whole Thing. It was from the before time. You do not need to send it to me. You do not need to make me aware. Please enjoy.

Colombia is home to about 2,000 bird species, more than anywhere else on Earth. Decades of conflict kept people out of many areas, preserving the birds’ habitat. Now birders are flocking in. @AndersonCooper reports, Sunday. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW

I was helping the ACLU with cases like this 15 years ago. This is ridiculous. Imagine being a manager telling a pregnant direct report that they can’t sit down. Could never be me.

[A Better Balance @ABetterBalance]

Corporations like Amazon and Speedway are still forcing pregnant workers to risk their health and firing women for being pregnant. Our clients Jennifer, Kristina, and Arya spoke out about what happened to them in today's @nytimes. They deserve justice. https://t.co/BeUfCkINDp

And if you aren't lucky enough to have woodcocks in your area, you still have cool migratory species passing through RIGHT NOW. See who's coming through your region in the Americas here: https://t.co/gL0mpzE2yO

[Robyn Shepherd @RobynPShepherd]

If you love the Bryant Park woodcock, you can help them, and other migratory birds, reach their destinations safely by turning out your lights and drawing your curtains at night. https://t.co/gBamjSHiSu

@thebirdunion Miss these faces! 💚

[𝖗𝖔𝖗𝖞 @bacchusrights]

gonna be real i forgot some of u guys arent seeing these posts lol . which is a shame bc once ur feed is about 80% Birds it becomes a much nicer app

[limpkin @acealeam]

birders be like i have to study i have A vacation coming up

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Many of North America’s birds are in a state of accelerating decline, with over half of 122 species dying out faster, according to a new study. Their vanishing songs are a bellwether of a far deeper biodiversity crisis, researchers say. https://t.co/Yo5nfNQBCt

Community science and sharing data is great when you A. Know what the data is that’s being gathered B. Know who you’re sending the data to and C. Know that the data is being used for good stuff, like charting environmental science over a century. https://t.co/j2YYsr0J0M

[Robyn Shepherd @RobynPShepherd]

Today is the last day of the Great Backyard Bird Count. It only takes 15 minutes, and you can send your data through the eBird app, or even through other analog measures if that’s what you’re into. Anyone can do it! You don’t have to be an expert on birds. https://t.co/z0KyzIh2VM

Turdus and Urinator: Together, they're unstoppable.

[Robert Francis @rbfrncs]

Pretty stoked to find out that the old scientific name for loons was "urinator"

[Erik Schneider @erikmschneider]

This was stolen from us.

[Robyn Shepherd @RobynPShepherd]

My entire feed right now is reading like an extended obituary for the modern media era and how we all do the work we do and I am so damn angry about it.

[Jada Yuan @jadabird]

Cried through the first take of this video. Our arts team was decimated, most arts reporters, most critics, in the mass layoffs at @washingtonpost. It's a sad day for anyone who cares about the arts — now for action, looking for work, ways to still support artists.

[Emmanuel Felton @emmanuelfelton]

The other reporter on my team covering race was also laid off as well as the editor in charge of race coverage across national. The team covering America beyond DC is now 90% white.

[Olivia Messer @OliviaMesser]

As a Texas journalist, I cannot say enough how absolutely stupid it is to lay of PATRICK SVITEK during an election year. What idiocy. Also harrowing: An already impossible job market being flooded with the most talented reporters of my generation. God help us all.

[Robert McCartney @McCartneyWP]

We’re hearing Post has laid off all its photojournalists.
