@kimberlyhirsh I remember reading a critical response to Aja Romano’s Hopepunk article.
@kimberlyhirsh thanks for the links! I would argue that the definition of a birb is partially in the eye of the beholder. For example, I can understand why their criteria might exclude crows, but I have frequently pointed one out as a birb in our yard because of my personal fondness for them and their antics.
@artkavanagh I've seen a lot of critical responses before (this was a re-read), but not that one. Thanks for sharing!
