Murphy does not need a real egg to feel accomplished!!He’s quite content with his rock, and VERY protective of it! After his spring hormones have run their course, he will get bored and move on to other activities. Poor rock.
Murphy (and his rock) live at World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, an extraordinary place that rehabilitates birds of prey and provides lifelong care for many kinds of birds who cannot be released back into the wild.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Upon further investigation, our franchise partner has stopped its advertising. Thank you again for your concern.
My dearest Cynthia,
I write to you today a broken man.
Despite our best efforts, the Cracker Barrel fell. We fought for its potpourri-scented gift shop, its tabletop puzzles. Our tears and sweat mixed with the cream gravy atop the chicken fried steaks.
What's a tweet that's so canonical in your mind you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about? (I sometimes just say "uh oh y'all it's gettin' kinda hazy" expecting people to get it)

"too spicy" is always the move. things i've convinced my 4yo are too spicy include but are certainly not limited to:
- potato chips
- sparkling water
- top ramen
- pizza that is specifically mine
Hi
@rgay
. Today I had coffee with a survivor of sexual violence who never thought she could tell her own story. She met you at your reading in
#STL
and you were so kind to her. She felt heard, inspired. This week, her memoir sees publication. ❤️✊🏻
If you think are bagels are wild, just wait till you see our

(not a joke tweet, just tired of people bagging on the middle of the country)
@OmnishamblesFPL
murphy lives in a sanctuary. the majority of the birds of prey here have sustained injuries (either in the wild or at inhumanely run zoos) that render them incapable of flight. those who can be rehabilitated are released; those who can't are cared for at the sancutary for life <3
wesley bell has now spent $17M to unseat our congresswoman
@CoriBush
, making this the 3rd-most expensive congressional race in history. imagine having so little to stand on that you'll take millions in AIPAC money to produce ads full of lies. embarrassing! anyway, vote for Cori
talk one minute of shit about public schools and i will come at you with all of the gracious, empathetic, fiercely loving, protective ways SLPS teachers and staff treated our children today.
In the event that this helps someone: I had COVID for 8 weeks. I have recovered thanks to amazing family and friends. But I am also ready to fight anyone who calls it a hoax.
i've been to so many wonderful american cities but st. louis remains the most fascinating and, in so many ways, the most beautiful
i do not wish to argue
Jamie Allman made his account private. Guess he doesn’t like it when people take him to task for tweeting about sodomizing kids who survived school schoolings. Real titan of media right there.
if the moratorium hadn’t been reinstated, 7000 people IN ST LOUIS ALONE would’ve been without homes.
let’s keep our congresswoman
@CoriBush
in Washington, where she fights for EVERYONE.
Three years ago, we led an action on the Capitol steps to keep 11 million people in their homes.
We camped on those steps for four nights & five days—and we refused to leave until the eviction moratorium was reinstated.
Together, we organized & saved lives. Together, we won.
Good news: my kindergartener ate braised greens at a restaurant
Bad news: she turned to me mid-forkful and said, “maybe if you cooked vegetables as good as this, I would eat them.”
as a survivor of sexual violence, seeing eric greitens just get absolutely embarrassed feels great. but seeing steve roberts get humiliated? next-level. none of you abusers are slick. we all know.
i (truly) don't know who needs to hear this, BUT, if you are a woman in an abusive relationship, i've got you and i can get you out. we can be close friends or we can have never met. i have resources and i am D O N E with abusers.
STL, if you're looking for an easy getaway (wee vacation, not fleeing a crime), cannot recommend Louisville highly enough. just under 4 hours from our downtown to theirs, and so walkable and compact that you can fit in a ~lot~ of fun. recommendations forthwith:
ALL of the congrats to my wonderful husband,

debuted 20 years ago tonight. I wrote about all the ways the HBO masterpiece has proven impossible to duplicate, no matter how often other shows try to imitate parts of it:
weird take: I find no solace in, nor do I celebrate, the governor and his wife having COVID. it’s a terrible sickness; it stole my summer, and I’m one of the lucky ones. I hope they recover well and tell the truth about this thing.
I had a self-managed abortion. we tried for a baby for nearly five years, wanted nothing more. that end-of-first-tri checkup, supposed to be so joyful? Just a doppler picking up *nothing* and my wonderful OB ushering me out a side door so i could cry privately. (1/xx)

⚠️ minus a mask
⚠️ in a part of our state that is being pummeled by the delta variant
⚠️ and had unmasked chats with kids too young to receive a vaccine
got it. great photo op, sir. just all-around stellar work
So many in

are acting like tomorrow is “back to normal”. Making restaurant plans, suggesting dates, visiting family. Yeah, I’m bored and lonely and miss regular work and life. This is really hard. But I’m staying home! I hope I’m still in the majority. 🙋🏻♀️
late-stage capitalism is having to do all my little work tasks while both my kids are on lockdown and the helicopters have been circling for three hours
Dr. Faisal Khan, acting health director, sent this letter to Chairwoman Days following what he calls “racist, xenophobic, and threatening behavior” at last night’s council meeting.
He admits he threw a middle finger at some people on the way out following physical/verbal assault

our governor is truly one of the worst people out there. just a feckless, bad-faith potato of a man who parrots whatever stupid things his advisors whisper in his ear

we had a shooting yesterday on our block in broad daylight, and just now a neighbor who’s been here for 40 years brought us a beautiful bouquet and said “please don’t be discouraged.” If that isn’t the platonic ideal of community in these weird times 💜💜💜
