“[The Arctic tern] sees two summers per year and more daylight than any other creature on the planet.”
“A tern ringed as an unfledged chick on the Farne Islands in the northern summer of 1982 reached Melbourne just three months after fledging – a journey of more than 22,000 km.”
“The average Arctic tern lives about 30 years and will, based on the above research, travel some 2.4 million km (1.5 million mi) during its lifetime, the equivalent of a roundtrip from Earth to the Moon more than three times.”

in reply to Feart n Tired 🏴 • • •@FeartnTired @Maud_GonnerThe internet gods must be spying on me because this just popped up in my recs. 5 minutes in and dude says this protestant/catholic beef has been going on over there for 800 years??? First off, I find it hard to believe people still really care about which version of jesus they stan. And at first they just showed a bunch of young white dudes who, given their age, are likely to be drawn to gang mentality and setting things on fire. But then apparently whole families show up to this flag burning party. I also find it hard to believe that northern Irish people would be burning flags about Irish independence. Is it so bad that Ireland is its own country?

in reply to GalacticTurtle 🤠🇺🇸👽 • • •@FeartnTired @Maud_GonnerI dated an Irish traitor (British army) from Belfast for quite awhile, it really goes so deep they think they can LOOK AT a person and tell if they are Catholic or Orange fgs. Trying to tell them yeah you can tell poverty is all is hopeless. Of course, he couldn't tell at ALL in Canada, I had him test it several times at gatherings etc. And this is a huge part of British history as well, most of the Catholic churches there weren't built until the 19th century. And now Catholic attendance is well over C of E. Much to the C of E horror.... LOL
"Roman Catholicism is not democratic. It doesn’t ask the culture to weigh in on what it believes—it declares it. And in an age when society is debating everything—from truth to gender to morality—there is something profoundly reassuring about a church that does not budge.
Women priests? No.
Abortion? Never.
Gender fluidity? Not affirmed.
However, the Anglican Church, even with its closely held principles, because of its penchant for shared governance and democracy and its allergy toward a Roman pope, always seems to be making up its mind." anglican.ink/2025/04/17/why-th…
