@TomDrummSenate Does this mean you will fight for women's legal rights to choose when it comes to reproductive health and support reproductive freedoms?

[Alison Kocek @alisonkocek]

@mlstantial But don't look at the foot!

[Alison Kocek @alisonkocek]

@AECheeseman It was so annoying though!

Just say no to zombie parasite meals my birbs. #teambird

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

A parasitic worm has turned this snail into a "zombie" that mimics caterpillars to be eaten by a bird, where it can reproduce inside its GI tract.

Absolutely tragic

[OSME @_OSME]

Heartbreaking news from #Iraq (via Facebook). Steppe Eagles are magnificent birds and thought to be declining rapidly. Currently listed as globally Endangered. OSME have supported several projects through our Conservation Fund.

[Alison Kocek @alisonkocek]

@KatieM_Walker @VTShorebirds Yes! We need to get this red formula back!

[Alison Kocek @alisonkocek]

Banded this guy as an adult at Chincoteague in 2010 w/ @VTShorebirds. He was just observed in NC by Jeffrey Murphy. It's now the oldest known living PIPL in the Atlantic population at 13+ yo and he still has all 4 readable bands.🙌 #birdbanding #survivor

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Corporate greed is oil companies making $93 BILLION in profits in the first quarter while they rip off the American people at the gas pump, charging $5, $6, or $7 a gallon for gas while spending $88 billion on stock buybacks to enrich their wealthy stockholders.

[Alison Kocek @alisonkocek]

It's time for #birders to stand up and #BoycottNRA to save lives! @Bushnell @LeicaBirding @VortexOptics @SwarovskiOptik all are listed as exhibitors at NRA meetings. 60 million birders have this power to force these companies to change - demand they stop supporting the NRA now!!

#PhDone! Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way!

Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was six weeks pregnant. I live in Texas, a state that has effectively banned abortions.

A thread about what it is to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned:

Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right?

And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right?

Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.

I'm looking for turtle people in Maryland who might have some intact box turtle shells that I can borrow for the summer (not shellacked and with intact scutes). I have some interns running a detection study. Will pick up.... If anyone knows people please DM me... @turtletweets
