"The guide to contested Illinois public school board elections, taking place April 1, is live.

This guide is different from the public library guide, in that it's intended to be 1. collaborative and 2. an exercise in how to find info on local elections."

It's 82 degrees right now in central Illinois. With high winds (>45 mph).
Expecting severe weather later today...rain, wind, hail, possible tornado.

Stay safe out there, everyone!

(And, if severe weather's headed your way, get out your weather radio, locate your flashlights, and charge your devices. Prepare your safe space(s), too.)

🧵 I heard... SILENCE.

This past week here in #AuroraIllinois , the weather has been pleasant & warmer. In the past, this kind of weather would be full of life, coming awake.

I know most of the #songbirds have migrated and haven't returned yet, so I don't expect to hear them. But only last week, I was regularly seeing a LOT of #birds , and hearing lots of chirping. The bird food & bread scraps I often put out for them in the morning were always eaten before lunch.

In past years, the sky would have had lots of birds flying overhead in this first warmth. I would hear lots of chirping.

This whole day, I heard only SILENCE.

4 of the past 5 days, bird food was left uneaten. Bread scraps were only eaten by the nighttime animals.

Today, I only saw one lonely #sparrow, behaving abnormally by hiding in my flower pot, right next to my door-- and near me. None of his friends ever appeared.

I hope I'm mistaken. I hope this is not due to #BirdFlu .

Photo of a long rectangular red-orange flowerpot, with dead herbs from the previous year. In the pot, tucked between the dead roots of plants, is a tiny lonely Sparrow. Even when I (unwittingly) stood nearby, he did not quickly fly away. He was the only bird I saw that day, despite having a large supply of stale bread and a full brick of bird suet nearby. The brick of suet has been almost completely untouched for over a week.
Close-up of the lonely sparrow hiding in the dead herb roots. His behavior was very abnormal, and the entire day felt weird to me. The silence overhead all day was rather eerie. There should have been birds.
