Chris Fuson walked into the bathroom an unassuming man who needed to relieve himself. He walked out on the pathway to a religious experience.

Laughing gulls have a reputation for snatching up people's food on Jersey Shore boardwalks. But, in many cases, these birds are only trying to feed their babies. Read the full story ➡️ https://t.co/DnksAqHSvh

The only seagull story you'll ever want or need to read. A beast of an environmental project from @realAdamClark with an absurdist, punk-rock spin that only belongs in New Jersey. I also like how much it says poop.

[Adam Clark @realAdamClark]

They are thieves. Villains. The great garbage-eating revenge poopers of our time.

Everybody thinks they know the Jersey seagull.

But what if we don't?

Read the untold story of the bird you love to hate — and its greatest crisis in generations.

“My kid is probably going to kill himself,” she said, her voice cracking. “And there is nothing I can do about it.”

Charlie is 16. Please share his story, an unvarnished portrait of our mental health crisis and the perilous limitations of modern care.
