Was not prepared for this: when a Great Horned Owl stretches its wings, it looks like there is a whole other bird there
Quote Tweet
Wed clips of the Central Park Great Horned Owl stretching its wings before 7:52pm flyout from Cedar Hill & on its 1st perch over the SE edge of Tupelo Meadow. Earlier @BirdCentralPark noticed GHO using both feet to perch, a possible reason for its emerging confidence. #birdcpp

Sending a special thank you to Special Prosecutor Joyette Holmes. Without her the 
DA would've let the now convicted killers of #AhmaudArbery off Scott free. This is a prime example of the value of Black prosecutors.

It’s time for Real Change. Athletes must continue to bring awareness to the systemic oppression Blacks have endured for centuries. We should never be silenced and punished for speaking out. Thank you @nytopinion for helping me create this powerful piece.

“If you’re vaccinated, and I’m vaccinated, we can play a pick-up game tomorrow. I’ll probably destroy you, but that’s okay,” Dr. Fauci tells @chrislhayes, discussing the Covid safety of being schooled on the court.

Ok, the @JoeBiden folks tweeted out this jaw-droppingly prophetic photo earlier. I dug a little. This was taken before one of the Congressional Baseball Games he played CF in, in the '70s. Each player got his home area team uni and the Phils uniform they gave him bore NUMBER 46.

I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women in debates when they consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names while using titles & last names when referring to men of = stature.
Women notice. It conveys a lot.

All my papers are late. All my emails go unanswered until a second poke, except a tiny random sample that I answer within one hot second. All birthday wishes are belated. My grants go in late or not at all. Workouts have gone out the window. So have quotas on chocolate.

Before Breonna Taylor, there's a depressingly long list of black women who were killed in their own homes or homes they were visiting during unjust or unnecessary police raids.

W.E.B. DuBois’ brief note on the life and moral cowardice of Robert E. Lee is one of the single most brutal pieces of writing I’ve ever read
Amplifying this. Also, pointing a gun at someone is an assault. #BlackLivesMattter

A reminder that #TamirRice was killed for having a toy gun, while #PatriciaMcCloskey pointed a gun at peaceful protesters with her hand ON the trigger & is still practicing law + sits on the Missouri Bar Association’s ethics panel.

Today I’m tipping my hat to all the giants in the Negro Leagues, from Satchel Paige to Toni Stone and so many others. Their brave example, first set 100 years ago, changed America’s pastime for the better––opening it up for new generations of players and fans alike.
