Back in the mid-2010's I would search the local tide pools for sea stars with no luck, going years without seeing any. Last couple of years I stumble across them on most visits to the tide pools. Yesterday I got to see one as part of the food chain for the first time at my local spot! 🪶

Skipped lunch to go successfully see an Olive-backed pipit! Woohoo

Haven’t been able to photograph birds recently due to this cutie occupying my free time as of late. 😅

On this day eight years ago, during the fascist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA, neo-Nazi James Fields drove his car into a crowd of antifascists, killing 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyer. She is gone but many of us survived to fight another day. Remember her. Don’t give up. 🖤

Fully paying off my student loans was a lot cooler before Nelnet withdrew my typical payment again afterwards. 2 months later and they still won’t refund me my money. Think their credit score will get dinged for this late repayment? (Ha)

"Diverted" is a strange way to describe the kidnapping of activists in international waters delivering aid to people suffering a genocide.

borders and states aren’t real, anybody who wants to stroll into the U.S. should be able to do so whenever they want, I don’t fuckin care

So proud of Los Angeles pushing back against these fascist goons. Abolish ICE abolish ICE abolish ICE.

Haliburton is unbelievable. He's had me speechless like 3 times this postseason. Really rooting for the Pacers to win it all.
