“[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.”

NOT JUST MAINE! #USDA ending local purchasing programs for #Maine #FoodBanks and #schools
#MainePublic | By Nicole Ogrysko
Published March 12, 2025
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture is ending two national programs that help food banks and schools in Maine — and around the country — purchase produce from local farmers.
"USDA told Maine officials and partners late last week that it has terminated the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program. It helped #GoodShepherd Food Bank buy produce from about 100 Maine farmers, which is then distributed to local food banks around the state.
"'That program is incredibly important to the state of Maine, both in food today — food that we source and distribute today — and in food tomorrow, which is the economic viability for those 100 #farmers and for our partner agencies to experience fresh, nutritious produce," said Good Shepherd President Heather Paquette.
"At the same time, Paquette said the food bank recently learned that USDA will stop delivering about 1 million pounds of food through the Emergency Food Assistance Program to Maine. Those deliveries are on hold for Good Shepherd — and food banks around the country — through at least June.
"Paquette said the USDA delivery represented about 20% of food that Good Shepherd moves around the state.
"The cuts — both to government food deliveries and to funds that Good Shepherd used to buy local produce — are concerning, Paquette said, because more Mainers are experiencing #FoodInsecurity.
"Our need is up every year," she said. 'This year we distributed 10% more food cases than we distributed the year before that, and that year was 10% over the [prior] year. So we're experiencing double-digit need increase in the state of Maine.'
"A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry said the state received about $1.3 million for the Local Food Purchase Assistance program.
"USDA has also terminated the Local Food for Schools program, which provided more than $720,000 last year to Maine schools. Schools used those funds to buy food directly from local farmers to serve in their cafeterias.
"The program provided a big boost to the state's farmers, because more than 100,000 students eat at Maine schools every day, said Anna Korsen of the food security non-profit Full Plates Full Potential.
"'That has a huge impact on local economies, on #SmallFarms, and it's just better for kids," she said. 'The food's healthier, they're getting fresh, local foods in the school cafeteria.'
"A spokesperson for Maine's Department of Education said the state was expected to receive nearly $2.8 million for the Local #FoodForSchools program over the next three years. The funding was supposed to be disbursed later this spring.
"Maine still has a statewide local food purchasing program for schools. But Korsen said the federal program provided more purchasing power for Maine schools. In 2023 before Maine received federal #LFS funding, schools in the Pine Tree State spent just more than $168,000 on local food, Korsen said.
"These USDA programmatic cuts are separate from those that the department is making at the University of Maine System [which were just reversed]. And unlike those impacting UMaine, the termination of USDA's local purchasing programs affects food banks and schools around the country."

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…
