"Meta’s oversight board has called for an overhaul to the company’s rules banning bare-chested images of women – but not men."
"Meta" might be sick enough to "equalize" that ban by banning that for both. Lol.

I don't know what they will do.

Obviously, everyone is hoping they'll make progress to unwind some of this puritanical censorship, although it is Facebook after all.

Sitting in the backyard watching all the birds fly by 🎵🎶

People who were around in the 1960s might get the above jingle. This is a green heron (Butorides virescens). I don't recall ever seeing one before, I know I haven't photographed one until now. It isn't the greatest photo because it was way of to the west and starting to fly away from me by the time, I acquired the bird.

"From a distance, the Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill. They sometimes lure in fish using small items such as twigs or insects as bait." - allaboutbirds.org

Excellent analysis of today’s #USsupremeCourt voting rights decision. Puts into context Alabama’s and today’s dissenting justices’s radical extremism. The majority simply abided by decades of precedent, which shouldn’t be remarkable, but with this Court it is. https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/breaking-down-the-supreme-courts-voting-rights-act-decision-out-of-alabama/ #lawFedi #voting

A view from below.

These cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) were among a bunch that would perch in this oak tree every afternoon this past winter.

"A treat to find in your binocular viewfield, the Cedar Waxwing is a silky, shiny collection of brown, gray, and lemon-yellow, accented with a subdued crest, rakish black mask, and brilliant-red wax droplets on the wing feathers. In fall these birds gather by the hundreds to eat berries, filling the air with their high, thin, whistles. In summer you’re as likely to find them flitting about over rivers in pursuit of flying insects, where they show off dazzling aeronautics for a forest bird." - allaboutbirds.org

Do you ever notice the same folks that say that you need to be a certain age in order to make a decision about your gender identity also seem to have no problem baptizing you into a religion indicating some sort of alignment of your religious belief and in their beliefs the care or your soul before your are even able to speak or walk...and they think that is totally fine.
