in response to the recent mass school shooting in florida high schoolers nationwide are planning on walking out on april 20th and not coming back until congress passes gun safety legislation
i’m not in high school anymore but this is an incredible idea and if you’re in high school you should definitely research this, share, and consider walking out
after some quick googling it looks like there is also a short walkout planned for march 14, by the same people who organized the women’s march. since its a short demonstration, participating in both walkouts would be a great way to escalate tactics. the march 14 action will likely get national attention. if the indefinite walkout on april 20 gets the same level (or ideally more) participation it should make a big impact and communicate the seriousness of demonstration around this issue
The annual infestation of robins has begun. Each year they arrive here en masse, roosting in our trees and gorging themselves on fermented crabapples and berries. Some of them get completely hammered and fall out of trees or fly into the walls of our house. I haven’t had to rescue any so far this year, but it’s only a matter of time. Each time I step outside to gather firewood, I am greeted by the loud hum of hundreds of wings as they scatter in every direction in a drunken panic.
I’M REALLY FUCKING TIRED AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOME REALLY WEIRD BATMAN SHITPOST
“Hello? 911? Jason Todd just threw up on my roof. Please advise.”
We have had to rescue our cats from drunk and belligerent robins who found fermented pyracantha berries a treat – robins too drunk to stand up, let alone fly, but are perfectly willing to take on confused and horrified cats, one-on-one. Or, failing that, to take a nap on the cat.

(and that’s just the basics on that topic, 22 is a good summary and 24 is worth knowing about too, and by the way since it’s currently relevant, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.” is article 9.)
