Yesterday, I linked my Medium.com post on my blog here. I wrote the post on Medium and left a link here. Overnight, it went viral and is still accumulating views and has been read almost 1,000 times. It’s too bad that I’m not already behind the paywall on that platform! If you’d like to read…
I chose to publish my blog on Medium.com today. You can find it here (click the word, here.) I hope you click and read it. It tells a lot about who I am, what I care about, and how I’ve gone about working to preserve a species loved by many. As a preview: here are…
