One of many different beautiful species of birds that live here at southwest Red Cliffs reserve #NorthernCorridorHighway. Personally I love roadrunners, they are one of my many personal favourite animals that live here. I wanna share some cool facts about these fierce birds, did you know that the roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico? A roadrunner nest is made of anything a male finds, such as sticks, lleaves and the skins of snakes! Sounds pretty hard core to me, speaking of snakes.. The roadrunner is so fast that it is one of the few animals that are quick enough to go toe to tore with rattlesnakes! They are like warriors, the Hopi and other Pueblo people believed that roadrunners were medicine birds and could protect against evil spirits. Their unusual X-shaped footprints are used as sacred symbols to ward off evil in many Pueblo tribes—partially because they invoke the protective power of the roadrunners themselves, and partially because the X shape of the tracks conceals which direction the bird is headed (thus throwing bad energy off track.) Stylized roadrunner tracks have been found in the rock art of ancestral Southwestern tribes like the Anasazi and Mogollon cultures, as well. Roadrunner feathers were traditionally used to decorate Pueblo cradleboards as spiritual protection for the baby. In Mexican Indian and American Indian tribes, such as the Pima, it is considered good luck to see a roadrunner. In some Mexican tribes, the bird was considered sacred and never killed, but most Mexican Indians used the meat of the roadrunner as a folk remedy to cure illness or to boost stamina and strength. Indigenous peoples of Central America have developed numerous beliefs about the roadrunner. The Ch’orti’, who call it t’unk’u’x or mu’, have taboos against harming the bird. Ch'ol Maya believe roadrunners to have abilities. It is known to them as ajkumtz’u’, derived from the bird's call that is said to make the listener feel tired.

Just got done creating a coloring book for Conserve southern Utah red cliffs, I decided to donate a coloring book for southern Utah red cliffs reserve to help increase knowledge of the numerous endangered species that inhabit these beautiful lands. Please help me spread this and spread awareness of the illegal so called progress that the city if Saint George Utah is trying to do on federally protected land.

there are other more involved ways of finding criticism. Learning to use academic databases, going to your local library to do interlibrary loans, finding critical voices you appreciate; these are all useful subskills. Literacy isn't just being able to read words, it's being able to read words in context and think about what they tell you about the text, the author, or the time and culture in which the text was produced. Literacy is the skill of being able to look at the world with open eyes and think clearly about how its parts are connected. It'll change your life

writers tend to put a lot of work into their stories. if you learn to read that work you'll (probably) appreciate the stories you love even more. And if not, then you'll have developed your taste. This too is worth doing

just remembered this video i found years ago where an almost identical situation happens. the way the energy in the room plummets when everyone realizes he’s just playing the song without any remixing. it’s unbelievable
