Former President Jimmy Carter is 100 years old today! Join us in honoring our visionary co-founder, America’s humanitarian-in-chief. No other U.S. president has lived so long or done so much good for so many after leaving office. https://t.co/lT65jdsaow
@clarkrushing @WilsonOrnithSoc Is this the same Bob Cooper that was at Univ of Memphis in the 1990s? If so, I worked on one of his studies in WV and VA!
A Blessing for the Resilient
Blessed are you who are tired
of feeling grateful all of the time.
who feel more comfortable
with moments of rage and negativity
and venting all that you lost.
Blessed are you when you say,
hand on your heart,
That there are truths
you wish you could unlearn
Riches you wish you could get back
The innocence, hope,
the sweet fearless of never having lost.
You are resilient…
but I wish you never had to be.
Your survival cost you.
And it’s okay to name it.
To be grateful AND outraged.
You might never get
the apologies you’re owed.
We long to hear them say it.
I’m sorry. I should have believed you.
I should have sheltered you.
This never should have happened.
The almost truths are difficult to swallow.
Yes we learned so much.
Yes we overcame.
We grew.
But this perspective….
we would give it back.
In a heartbeat.
Bless us God, in our gratitude.
In our anger. In our survival.
And may you, my dear,
be met today with gentleness
And stillness and peace,
Energy, momentum, or rest.
Whatever it takes to carry the weight
of all this resilience.
Inspired by my conversation with the wonderful @eminietfeld. 💫

Queer Ecology education FUN PACK alert!
As we release our ep, The Seagulls, I wanted to share this THREAD of teachers--essays, books, scientists, instas, tiktoks, podcasts and more--that casually flipped my understanding of nature over the last year.

@Nonunsenses Kenny, you’ve been my favorite today. I don’t speak or read Dutch, but Google translate gets me there. Thank you for your ENTHUSIASTIC service!
@greggrunberg I looked it up on the @MerlinBirdID app and it looks like an acorn woodpecker. The app is really helpful in identifying birds by location, size, and color!
