a tweet by azadeh shahshahani (@ashahshahani) that says, "anticipate heightened targeting of palestinian and muslim community members by the fbi in the coming weeks.

if you live in the u.s. south and are contacted by the fbi for questioning, contact us at project south.

the national lawyers guild has a national hotline: (212) 679-2811"

love how sometimes its "colonialism" and sometimes its "conquest" depending on when it happened and who was involved. don't worry about it.

LIVE BROADCAST FROM NORTH GAZA

TODAY, 17 March 2024

21:00 GMT or 7 pm US Eastern time

Islam Bassam Barbari will be hosting a livestream event on Instagram tonight at 7 pm ET/21 GMT.

This is a great opportunity for people to learn about life in north Gaza from the people who are living it, and especially to support the work of Islam and other people who are documenting the genocide.

Please attend if you have the time. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can create one for free with any valid email address. I will try to record the session and post it afterward, but I have limited digital memory, and for some reason it is also very difficult for me to upload videos to Tumblr, so I can’t make any promises. Hence, attending personally is best.

Here is the link to Islam’s account. When the livestream begins, click on the link to go to his account, and then click on his profile picture to join the livestream.

The Bluebird just started her nest but is already almost done. Today, she added a little "blanket". I'll add a wren guard here once the first egg is laid, which I expect tomorrow or Monday, and then hope for the best. I edited little to show her process. Enjoy.

(This box is similar to the other one but has just one entrance hole.)

Antrostomus vociferous, better known as the eastern whip-poor-will or whip o whill, is a species of bird within the nightjar family, Caprimulgidae, which is endemic to the deciduous forests and mixed woodlands of North and Central America from Canada in the north to Costa Rica in the south and from the east coast to the great plains. Often migrating to the north of there range to breed and to the south of there range to overwinter. It is named onomatopoeically after its song as whilst the whip-poor-will is commonly heard within its range, it is rarely seen because of its elaborate camouflage. Eastern whip-poor-whills are a nocturnal species which spends there days resting amongst leaf litter, tree roots, branches, hollows, and fallen logs, emerging at night to feed upon various flying insects such as beetles, flies, mosquitos, and in particular moths. Eastern whip-poor-wills are generally solitary preferring to spend time on their own; however, during migration, they may form loose flocks. Reaching around 8.5 to 10.5 inches (22 to 27cms) in length, 1.5 to 3 ounces (42 to 85grams) in weight with a 17.5 to 19.5 inch (45 to 50cms) wingspan, eastern whip poor whills sport a large head and broad body. They have mottled camoflauged plumage: the upperparts are grey, black and brown; the lower parts are grey and black. They have a very short bill and a black throat. Males have a white patch below the throat and white tips on the outer tail feathers; in the female, these parts are light brown. Breeding often begins in March, with pairs meeting up and building a loose nest on the ground, in shaded locations among dead leaves. Here a female will usually lay 2 eggs at a time. Incubation lasts 19-21 days performed by both parents. Eastern Whip-poor-wills lay their eggs in phase with the lunar cycle, so that they hatch on average 10 days before a full moon. As when the moon is near full, the adults can better forage at night and capture large quantities of insects to feed to their young.The chicks hatch well developed covered in down but with their eyes closed. They are fed and protected by both parents and start to fly at the age of 20 days. Eastern whip-poor-wills usually produce 1 or 2 broods per year and females may lay a second clutch while the male is still caring for chicks from the first brood. Under ideal conditions an eastern whip poor will can live up to 15 years.
