Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city.
Please please please consider turning lights off in your home and offices over night as our feathered friends make their journey south!

Sign this petition to support a bill in the NYC Council that could sharply reduce bird collisions by requiring buildings to turn off nonessential lights at night during peak migration seasons. ladyfreethinker.org/sign-sto…

Investing in child care is good economic policy. Our economy is slated to lose $10.6 BILLION if Congress doesn't act by September 30th to prevent 70,000+ child care centers from closing—and potentially millions of parents from reducing their work hours or leaving jobs altogether.
More than 70,000 daycare programs are at risk of closure as pandemic-era funding is set to expire. That upheaval threatens to push parents — especially women — to work fewer hours, switch to less-demanding roles or leave the labor force entirely. latimes.com/business/story/2…

For good reasons, most stroke survivors don't return to work until >6 months post-stroke. But for many, getting back on the job sustains a sense of purpose & autonomy.

A few months ago, @protctdemocracy published a guide for how reporters can cover and distinguish threats from politics-as-usual. This blurb seems helpful as we figure out how to cover disinformation in information security. protectdemocracy.org/project…

Fascinating & really important podcast.
