A 🧵 of exciting martin stuff from my project, starting with one of my 2021 HY birds making it to Costa Rica :') Their name is Sassafras. This is a brand new #Motus tower too! They've spent at least 9 days there!

We would like to not have to say that again.

The average rent in the US hit a new record high of $1,827 last month. On the federal minimum wage of $7.25 people take home $1256 a month. People aren't exaggerating when they say it's becoming unlivable here.

We really live on a planet where birds give us a dawn chorus to start each day. I still can’t believe this.

I am mentally ill and yet I have never had the desire to target an entire group of people and massacre them.

Racism is not a mental illness. It is a choice of hatred and violence.

Do not further demonize and stigmatize mental health in order to avoid the dealing with racists.

I like to live life on the edge. I update my R version and packages as soon as updates are available

I love that eBird hotspots are like public parks and nature preserves and also the random pond next to Hardee’s

'landlord' and 'landlady' are needlessly gendered words. pls be more inclusive by using 'landbastard' instead

I wonder what @DollyParton would have spent $43 billion dollars on.

Walking around my old college campus, it’s so apparent that much of the longing that adults feel for their college days is because it was the only time in their lives when they lived in close knit, walkable communities, saw friends everyday, rarely got into cars

Wanna start drama? Comment “you can’t love outdoor birds & have outside cats” in any nature/birding group you’re in, & sit back & watch

@TreyyerT13 Rubbing some bar soap on the outside of the window can stop this from happening in a pinch! :)
