It’s lowrider time

Gonna touch native prairie grasses 24/7 from now on

Sweet smelling begonia flowers (Begonia ‘Hannah Serr’)

Turning heads…

“This world is not for the weak The willing trample upon the meek Home at last” youtu.be/mHWVrOvKArU

This was on my iPad I guess I made it, but I don’t really remember much when making it Dang!

Stella the cat eats grass

Bluesky definitely could improve, and people are weird and stupid, but I just wanna post bird pics and stuff in a morally neutral-ish place and don’t care to be tethered to any online place anymore. It’s sad and boring that I don’t like being online anymore, but that’s just what it’s gonna be

In Scrub Jay News, Tommy and Lila have brought a new friend, who is a juvenile and their child!

Getting slowly better…I love to calculate the time it takes to animate anything, and it’s like 10 hours for 4 seconds, and each hour makes me want to tear my hair to shreds

The California scrub jay couple has come back after almost a year away, and I gave them peanuts today

“Crawling in my skin” is a great line describing a person’s addiction, anxiety, fear, whatever This is a stupid thought I got from feeling like an anxiety skin suit got pulled on me

Went to livejournal (which I deactivated a long time ago) and remembered how I used to care so much if someone followed me back or not, and now I don’t really care because I’m Denethor, and I looked into the palantir too much which depressed me

I now have a movie log where I write down the movies I watch, so I don’t write about them here anymore. I liked these movies from July-ish, though: Shifty (Adam Curtis), Eddington, Pee-wee as Himself, and I especially liked Life is Sweet and am excited/scared to watch more Mike Leigh movies

I enjoyed my first animation class. I’m glad I am taking it, actually

This was really good, and I recommend it. It made me feel better somehow, even if it made me feel like a semi parasocial freak. I saw a really dim light at the end of a really narrow tunnel

Small Hoya rotundiflora is starting to bloom Slight scent, sweet. I don’t normally like a lot of flower scents because they’re often too strong for me, but this is nice. It’s light and refreshing, and I have to sniff it a lot because I keep thinking I might be imagining the smell

This is a blurry pic of a stick insect that I’ve seen out my window for a couple of weeks. I didn’t realize it was an insect until a few days ago when I noticed a leg. I thought it was dead, but then I saw it later on another stem. now I don’t know where it’s gone, but cool to have seen it

People were acknowledging that 2015 Katy Perry was maybe the pinnacle of American Empire, so it is kind of fitting that she might be dating Justin Trudeau….

most graphic design looks bad to me because in that end I just want to see something sincere, and most of the time it feels manipulative and evil This is so sincere I love it

Feeling like in 20 years maybe I’ll join an orchid society I’m not that into orchids yet I’m a generalist I went to an orchids show today, and it was fun they are so serious Being serious about stuff is nice sometimes Anyway, I didn’t take any pics of the show Here’s a begonia flower

Got better pics of a dark eyed junco mowing down some sunflower microgreens

Sketches for about 2.5 weeks

Begonia ‘Hannah Serr’ is blooming. Flowers are small and cute and sometimes hard to see

There are two rats who keep knocking dirt all around every night, and they made a big mess yesterday, but at least this yellow dahlia bloomed amidst it all

Dark-eyed junco eating some sunflower seeds (for microgreens)

Two more things in flower: African violets (grown from Nadeau African Violet Seeds) and Cotyledon pendens

Boox Palma 2 (reading Paris Marx’s Road to Nowhere on it…it’s nice that the ereader is small), Traveler’s notebook (felt bad for buying leather, and made some weird deal in my head to eat vegan for two weeks), Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer (I really liked the Southern Reach trilogy)

Begonia now has lil pink-red flowers

How the entrelac blanket’s going

Two moons

Today’s vibe

Happy 4th of July!

Okay trying to catch up on all the stuff I’ve seen F1: bad, I don’t like the Pitt 28 years later: good Severance season 2: not good Lawrence of Arabia: very good All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace: great, really sad Mountainhead: good Marjoe: good Will update as much as I can…

All I wanna do is get into a time traveling machine and scream noooooo at the different scenes I encounter

This was the biggest bumblebee I’ve ever seen, but I could not capture it well

Great Horned Owl doing that cool neck thing. Wait for it…

Baked a rosemary focaccia that looks like a pie

I wish Iran had nukes

Morning hike

It seems hilarious to have opinions when my mind is full of birds

Dark-eyed juncos have been hanging out lately, and one of em took a bath in the micro pond and was fun to watch drying off afterwards

One cat and two owls

Corvid keeping watch

There are two ravens who I can see through the windows…there is a building two doors down that has, in the yard, a tall laundry pulley system from yore, and the ravens seem to have kicked the crows out from a nearby tree and are taking over the area and using the pulley system as a watchtower?

Yesterday saw this dark-eyed junco singing up a storm and a downy woodpecker feeding their young (not pictured) and three great horned owls (not pictured)

Oh my god I forgot to put my movie reviews on here

Posting for a community of depressed individuals who mostly disagree with the big bad narratives swirling around the world and who just wanna feel good laughing or looking at something cool once in awhile so that they don’t blow something up (like themselves)

More Great Horned Owls. Spotted three out of the four a couple of days ago. The biggest adult is probably the mom (female GHOs are usually larger than the male ones), and I think she’s the one with a white band around her neck. Supposedly there is about 5 weeks left until the children leave
