Typhoon! Another keep-back from this year! This tiny beeper is so incredibly friendly and outgoing. We are blown away by their personality! And that khaki colour is very easy on the eyes. Such a cute kid 🥰

So, in spite of suing multiple other companies with the assertion that scraping user content for generative AI training is illegal, Long Rodent has decided that the dead bird is going to do the same thing! Natively! On-platform! To train his own new generative AI engine!
With this in mind, I cannot impress this vehemently enough:
If you are on Twitter as a creator of any kind, it's time to pack up your work and GET THE HELL OUT.

found an old google doc i made of my favorite bat species. you should suggest more species for my list pls
ID:
A post describing 6 types of bats as follows:
Northern Ghost bat
Angry face
Primarily eats moths and apparently likes to sing while doing so. Fuckin superb you funky little ghost bat
Desert long-eared bat
What's he so happy about???
Apparently they get scorpion stings to the face a lot but it's okay because they just don't care and swoop down to eat them whole (stinger and poison sack included) off the ground anyways
So actually he's probably happy about all the scorpion murder he commits
Pallid bat
Ears
Greater false vampire bat
Can apparently eat like anything. Bugs? Yes. Frogs? Yes. Birds? You bet.
Like straight up cannibalizes bats smaller than it.
Kind of a killing machine overall really
Wrinkle faced bats
Ugly but full of love
has a flap of skin they use as a facemask when they nap. Fancy.
Their weird skull structure lets them eat a wider range of food than most other bats. So that's rad.
Frog eating bat.
They eat frogs
Fun at parties. Always brings fun food (frogs)
End ID.
(thank you @friendlybat for the ID!!)

Aspen! This baby isn’t yet out of the woods, but he’s feeling so much better. We haven’t posted much about this little booger because he’s been so sick for so long - he had a foreign body (probably a hemp seed) in his sinuses, which caused an infection and abscess that he’s had two surgeries for. He may need a third, but we hope not!
We joke that he’s the most expensive bird in the loft from all of his vet bills, but this kiddo was worth it. Absolutely hilarious personality, and a will to live that would not quit.
He’ll be a keep-back for us, and will be one of our house pigeons when he graduates from the “baby brigade”/youngster flock. He’s such a little goofball, and we love his silly face.
