What a cool hairstyle! I love it when hooded mergansers puff up their beautiful head feathers 📷 Canon R5 Mk II Canon RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Av, f/7.1, 1/400, ISO 2000, 500mm 1/19/26 Northern Oregon Coast #birds #bird #photography #ornithology #birdphotos #nature #wildlife 🦉 🪶

Blew my nose, immediately tasted something sweet, started freaking out. Is this cerebrospinal fluid? Am I dying? Y'all? It was lip balm. I just put on lip balm. I sure hope CSF isn't vanilla cupcake flavored XD

LRP: you mean I might get something other than mental illness from mom's side of the family?

FYI. Have a documented Canadian ancestor? You can get citizenship.

Little 1-hr Resplendent Quetzal portrait sketch, off @kulindadromeus.bsky.social 's dinosaur prompt list #DrawDinosDaily (link to list in reply) Phew yay I will finally have time to do some of these! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Ok, so I've got the fungus feed and the birds feed, but does anyone know a good "look at these minerals" feed?

It'll probably be fine, but Tumblr is currently down and with all the rumors over the years of "the engineering team has been pared to the absolute bare minimum," there's that fear that what if this is The One and it's really broken? I can contact people through AO3, but like. Don't let this be it.

Favorite song with the longest title I can think of, Simon & Garfunkel's "A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'ed Into Submission)"

“Did they grow up under a rock??” Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control. This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

This one of those "birds are weird and I love them for it" poses.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

if you're looking for a non-appropriative alternative: "may their memory be a revolution" started in the Orthodox Jewish community for victims of domestic violence, but it was suggested by the head of the organization that came up with it for George Floyd, so I think it's ok to use more broadly

I'm really sick of cutesified explanations as to why someone is a fucking fascist. Is Trump not well right now? Cool, he was a fascist before. It's got nothing to do with that. Is Stephen Miller bald? Y'all, shut the fuck up. His fascism is unrelated to his hair.

Since there has been a lot of "what are Americans even doing" talk on the timeline today, my gentle reminder that none of you better be posting the exact details of what you are doing on bluesky dot com, it is more important to safely do the work than prove to strangers that you are doing something!

Yesterday: Oh boy, my Superman DVD library hold came in, I can't wait to watch! Today: *everything is so much worse than we thought it could be*

Caracas and the surrounding area are the size of Philadelphia. We just took out a major city and international hub on a whim. Those poor people

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

I have this one, I love it, go buy yourself a fidget hex.

We wish you a Merychippus, and a happy New Year! This Miocene, three-toed horse hopes everyone has a safe and cozy holiday season. 🐴🎄

Pigeon sweater! Pigeon sweater!

you can cheer when the rats flee the ship, but you do not need to invite the rats over to your ship. the rats are icky. let those fuckers swim

I guess I'm trying this because I am the hell not putting my info into what theyre turning into an ""AI browser"" like it's not just a "steal your bank account information" machine.

I swear to fucking god mozilla, *everyone hates this idea*. Do NOT succumb to The Fear & the Monetization Disease. You don't need to have a "modern AI browser", at all, ever. You need to be th comany that respects user privacy, meaningful consent, & choice; the one w/ The Browser That Fucking Works

Canada geese. Day 16 #ArtAdventCalendar We heard some flying over last night. The kittens watching from the windows were bewildered :) #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #birds #migration

This is fantastic, I know it's a joke, but also, the knee-jerk cringe I crunged at seeing HF on that label.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com Can I just say I am enjoying how each turtle I have received in a fidget package has been increasingly purple? First one, I was like "Hey, [coworker], I know you like purple and sea turtles, want a turtle? "Yes!" and now there is a small army or purple desk turtles :)

Day 3 of #ArtAdventCalendar: It's always hard to find the perfect tree-topper, but I think I've done it! #wildlife

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.

Ok, so there's no official polls on here, but I want an opinion from people who may never end up reading the fic I'm writing right now. Should I keep its alternate timeline ending similar in flavor to the source material, or make it extra depressing in an "everyone dies and I mean *everyone*" way?

We were almost out of skittles and sam's doesn't have the big tub I used to get anymore so I was trying to order more skittles online and I think I mathed wrong.... and anyway I think I have like 14 pounds of skittles now

Coming through! Important ptarmigan stuff to do! #birds 🌿

And believe me. There are people down here I *hate* deeply and personally. I'm not going to forgive them. I will never be in community with them. Their names are dust to me because they glory in hurting the people I love and honestly, in hurting me. I will shun them while they get healthcare.

It's ok if you are new to alt text or aren't confident with how to use it yet. Just give it a try! Alt text has been around for decades. It used to be popular on dial-up when pictures wouldn't load, instead of just having a blank square. It's the same thing now. Used by people with vision issues.

I love when baby birds are lint balls :)

Sharing for awareness: For those able and willing to help, the Embassy of Jamaica in DC is coordinating disaster relief in the U.S. They have asked folks to reach out to them at [email protected] to coordinate support. The government has info on donations supportjamaica.gov.jm

My single hex fidget just arrived and I love it already, so now I need more fidgets XD
