The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

The ozone could have a huge hole.

We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

I feel like we forget this, you know?

@futurebird consider: the bald eagle is a symbol of the US, its mascot, imaged on money, official seals and all sorts of government stuff. to let it go extinct would have been a national embarrassment -- therefore the phenomenal effort to find the cause of its demise (DDT) and eradicate it, despite any concerns about lost profits to whatever corporation was manufacturing it.

would a similar effort be made today?

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin.

Part of our members & us, with our (holding new paddle). We train every Saturday morning, from .

Today, we worked on more race stops, transitions & on improving team timing/synchronization.

I led a good warm-up before we started & was put into front near end of practice. Our coach is also training me on doing drumming/calling out paddle beats so I can go on multiple boats for races. Our first race is May 26th!

Me with 4 other female team mates & our coach (she is on far right, holding black paddle) on upper wharf at Fairway Gorge Paddling Club. The Gorge Waterway is behind us.

I'm no scientist, but if a bird transmits the flu to a cow that is now the cow flu.

@the_etrain and apparently also it's the cat flu.

If you get mad when you see employees at a business you are patronizing laughing, enjoying each other's company, and goofing off, you're a dick. Empathize with people working a shitty underpaid job, and let them enjoy what little fun they get.

@kerouac666 @RickiTarr when walmart tried to expand into germany, the workers were like "what do you mean i don't get a chair? how do you expect me to stand all day, this is ridiculous." and the unions in germany don't mess around. ultimately walmart just gave up and pulled out -- we'd rather pay our cashiers super shitty wages and make them stand all day than accommodate you snooty europeans who think you deserve to be treated like humans even though it costs us more. the nerve, honestly!
