Blue-black Grosbeak
This is a chunky, dark songbird found in the humid lowlands of Central and South America, known for its deep blue-black male plumage and rich dark brown female, both with stout bills. A member of the cardinal family, it skulks in lush vegetation.

Guy in the coffeehouse complimented my knitting and it turns out he knows how to knit (!) because a bunch of elder gay men in a Seattle coffeehouse adopted him and taught him how and that just sounds like the most impossibly charmed life.
My son knows how to knit because a former girlfriend decided it was dumb that only women know how. So she taught him. I taught him to cook and sew because I think everybody should know that. He taught himself to bake bread. I can change a tire, check the oil, split wood, and reset circuit breakers.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.
This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.
The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.
The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.
DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

AND she’s doing it to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment?!
Jesus, this is a photo op to highlight EVERYTHING that’s wrong & fucked up with our country.
This is a moment for shame, not celebration.
She's from Arkansas. Long way to drive. 😒
There's no way they let some random door dash delivery person near the President without screening them first.. it had to be staged.
Did you see her?
Context clues: hair, makeup, standing next to satan himself and doing nothing to stop him, clearly maga
She doesn't care! She gets to be racist in public and that is better than food, gas, health, or any prosperity.
They'd rather be white than free and prosperous.
Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?
