It’s that time again folks! From penguins to corvids, tuxedos are a popular look in the bird world. But is this particular fashionista a #CrowOrNo? I’ll post the answer around 5:30 PST, though no promises because I’m on fieldwork time 😉. Photo c/o Frans Sellies.
Nicely done folks with the amazing turn out! As most of you guessed today’s #CrowOrNo is most definitely a crow! An African pied crow to be precise.
You can distinguish pied crows from magpies by the heavier bill and thicker rictal bristles (nasal feathers) on the crow. Probably the best tell though is the hackle like throat feathers on a pied crow.
Thanks for playing everyone! Come back next week!

Omg apparently he @‘d tons of folks that RT’d this, to play armchair psychiatrist and double down on it being a raven. WHAT A WANKER 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dying.

For new followers/crow fans, both crows and ravens have blue eyes as babies. It transitions to the adult brown around 3-4 months. Some species OTOH, have brown eyes that turn blue!

Hey guess what? It’s the best day of the week! It’s #CrowOrNo day!
Today’s challenge is brought to you by @Sciwhat. So what kind of a peeping Tom do they have here? A #CrowOrNo? Answer at 5:30 PST! Good luck!
Woof, I’m pretty late tonight, but data always takes precedent. Thanks for your patience! This week’s #CrowOrNo photo is...a crow!!!

Here’s the thing about red squirrels...I dig their whole vibe. Here’s a thread of me just being delighted about them.
An explanation of their cache sites or middens. FYI I totally blanked on the word “scales” (you can tell by the long pause) but I meant to say scales not leaves.
My favorite midden yet!!! BTW did you know they can chatter without stopping for up to an hour?!

Strap in, #amquerying and #amwriting Twitter! Time for some primo, uncut #writingtips from an agent.

Something I've been thinking about this week wrt a particular type of #nonfiction book proposal:

The one structured around Examples Of A Phenomenon.

1/
For these, first proposal draft submitted to me is usually structrd such that 1 chapter = 1 example.

E.g.,
Intro: This book seeks to answer the eternal question "what is a sandwich"
Ch 1: Hot dogs
Ch 2: Burritos
Ch 3: Falafel pita
Ch 4. Choco taco
...
Conclusion

2/
This is a dumb example on purpose, but you see what I mean--it's basically a listicle. The chapters could be anything: Countries Doing Austerity, Stolen Artwork In Museums, 10 X That Changed Y

And the form can work, but it's trickier than it looks because...

Alright! I've finished Bryan Caplan's The Case Against Education and it's definitely very interesting, although I remain unconvinced. This is gonna be real long, really more of a blog post, but I don't have a blog, soooo strap on in.
PART 1: I'M AN EDUCATION ECONOMIST AND I REALLY LOVE SIGNALING
On a personal level I really love the signaling model. If you are not familiar, it's basically the idea that if you want to prove you have quality X, then you do wasteful and useless thing Y that someone WITHOUT X would have a harder time doing than you.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
