From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

A superb day for owls: 1. Owls don’t make their own nests and often take those of woodpeckers 🪺 2. They are zygodactyl: 2 talons point forward & 2 backward 🦉 3. Snowy owls can fly vast distances. One flew 3,000 miles to Hawaii… where it was shot at the airport 😣 www.livescience.com/61629-superb...
