Mama raccoon praying the kits are asleep when she gets back home. 🤣 We should see young raccoons in the garden in June. #mammals

And yes, I did get a shot with the tail feathers of this resplendent quetzal male

Lovely evening to paint out in Seattle

Scorpio: This will be a good week to dye your hair in a truck stop bathroom. Maybe think about switching plates with another car while you're there.

I'm Puff the Magic Dragon levels of wanting these bears to never grow out of playing with the cameras

In case anyone doesn't know about Delaney

Day 30 of #Coverbirds QUACK magazine publishes an annual Sexiest Duck Alive issue and who else could be on the cover but Ruddy Duck? Any questions? I didn’t think so (1/8) #birds

Great job with the alt text, Bluesky

We eat him last?

I saw "Boston Boom" trending and wasn't sure if it was a sports team I never heard of, or an event

Look, I'm not the biggest fan of hawking my own books but this is such a great deal I want to highlight it: for just a few days more (thru May 31) "Van Gogh & the End of Nature" available at 50% off.

If that asshole outlives me I'm gonna be SO MAD

Made breakfast and forgot I had to leave early (Scramnesia)

We all need a timeline cleanse! Terracotta figurine of a #dog feeding her puppies. 500 BC-450 BC Boeotia, Greece. The terracotta figurines from this region during this period typically depict everyday scenes. Life without dogs is possible but pointless 🐶🐕 On display at Antikensammlung München 📷me

amazing action shot

Pretty pink predatory polyps! Unlike hard corals that thrive in shallow, sunlit areas, soft corals do not build reefs and thrive in the deep ocean. These colorful colonial carnivores attach to hard surfaces and grab food with their tentacles. 🌊🚢🧪 PC: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI, J2-1668 (V24), J2-1542 (V23)

I always expect the phillys to beat the dodgers for some reason. But they don't

They brutalized a man playing the cello then arrested him. 💔 they appeared to also break his instrument

The Vietnamese place drew a pig on my pork bahn mi wrapper so needless to say I will be taking all my meals there from now on.

oh my goodness

Day 29 of #Coverbirds! Today’s coverbird is the Belted Kingfisher, and she’s a perfect subject for the cover of my imaginary book of short stories about infatuation, obsession and frustration (1/5) #birds

Three days left and Janet is very close to her goal of $1500 this year. I hope there are some good people to help meet the goal! Thank you to all that have donated and thanks in advance to those who help in this final push towards her goal. It's for a great cause and a great organization. 🐦‍⬛

Pretty jacaranda tree I saw today

CAN WE BREAK A THOUSAND. Daily groveling to put my mother in a parade with this guy. Voting ends tomorrow for this round. cont.st/EVKPgo_DXjIO...

Just more Nazi shit I didn't know about

Is it just me, or did Bluesky suddenly make the alt text smaller? That thing that's supposed to help people read stuff is just a little (yes) harder to read?

They would steal her soul too if they could

"An Illinois National Guard official told Task & Purpose that Pioro was a specialist in the guard for nearly seven months as a delayed-entry trainee before shipping out to Fort Leonard Wood for basic training" So what was this guy doing as a Specialist for 7 months?

pretty sure everyone loves baby owls 🥰

Just a lying Nazi on his way to a Nazi conference, with a Nazi photo op layover in New Jersey

"His winning word was “bromocriptine,” which the post described as “a polypeptide alkaloid that is a derivative of ergot and mimics the activity of dopamine.”

I recently learned of this animal called an Argonaut and was inspired to incorporate it into the design of the monster

Day 28 of #Coverbirds! Today’s coverbird is Junior - Junior Black-billed Magpie, that is. These young corvids are so inquisitive and adventurous (and derpy) and so I had no trouble imagining a book about the first year of Junior’s life (1/4) #birds

It's been a long, long time

Here's a set of the nice in-flight views that the Trumpeter Swans gave this past weekend. I was so happy to see them. There were two mated pairs. The other pair were hunkered down in another water feature far from shore with 4 or 5 cygnets. 🙃 #birds #TrumpeterSwans

BUGS ARE AWESOME! Also they might be aliens? What a face (Eastern Tailed Blue butterfly. I think. I'm bad at bug ID) #invertebrates 🌿

Best thing about this is what the bunkers look like. Just you and your terrible nuclear family, trapped with each other, forever. No community even if you needed one. No help on the way. Just a grid of soundproof tombs. The perfect American suburb
