“Those humans are weird.” You’re not wrong, bird friends. #birds 🌿

Save the San Rafael Valley.

Oops, did it again. #sourdough I may not be taking many pictures lately, but my baking skills have been improving.

Congratulations, Congresswoman! About damn time! youtu.be/pXqBVoEbqbE?...

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Quality of life isn't, actually, about the quality of your life. It's about the quality of everyone's. Until we recognize that fact, this list will continue to devolve: a methodically complex and ridiculously precise ranking of increasingly bleak options: www.patreon.com/posts/142988...

I've never met a mining executive who didn't immediately tell me that he was an environmentalist.

The last 24 hrs have really been a time of some renewed hope. 💙 And my sourdough turned out well, finally!

What’s on your lock screen? Bravo NYC 👏🏼

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

One of my favorites birds to photograph, especially in fall, is the Blue Jay! Most birders tend to ignore them, but I think they're beautiful! And smart! 💙🖤💙 #Bluejay #CentralPark #birding

A very detailed and well done piece of what is actually happening in the Caribbean. It all comes down to oil and control of the shipping lanes. It’s obscene. www.reuters.com/graphics/USA...

Immigrants make America great. This wonderful art is from fabulouslyfeminist.com

'Twilight Landscape' by Victoria Crowe, contemporary Scottish painter #WomensArt

From the 1984 Morning Show archives. Priceless 🤣😈 youtu.be/4dZLVY9wyGk?...

This is absolutely joyful 🥹🌈

Random thought: many good articles are behind pay walls, while misleading or false content is free. As the economy deteriorates, access to information and facts can become a matter of disposable income.

I heard Mike Johnson described as a “Hobgoblin Keebler Elf motherfucker” and I cannot think of anything better than that.

We are taking legal action to ensure Adelita Grijalva is sworn in. I will not allow Arizonans to be silenced or treated as second-class citizens in their own democracy. Press Release: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

The Dogist Is one of my favorite social media follows; this wonderful conversation he had with the late great Jane Goodall did my heart good. youtu.be/SvOjPJhoGro?...

Swear her in!

Signs done! No Kings!!

Madera Canyon is always known for it's hummingbirds, but the variety of birds in the canyon is stunning. Mexican Jays are plentiful as were the Nuthatches, just to name a few. #AZbirding

😆

It finally happened. I found an Elegant Trogan in one of our sky islands. He did have his back to me the entire time, so fair enough. #birdingAZ

So many bats here last night.

Madera Canyon looking good today. And it finally happened; I found the Elegant Trogan! Pictures later.

Rivoli #hummingbird is taking control of the feeder. The Anna’s are not backing down.

I don’t usually repost a Fox News clip; but I think we need to know how the authoritarian regime is framing the NO Kings protests for Oct 18. It’s important to show up if possible.

Of course we booked a birdwatching/hiking trip for the weekend that Hurricane Priscilla is going to move through southern AZ. ☔️

“We’re already seeing drought stress, with half the mature oaks in the valley dead,” Palma said. “The wall will only accelerate the collapse. You lose the trees, you lose the shade. The creek dries, the habitat dies. It’s a cascade of ecological devastation.” azluminaria.org/2025/10/07/a...

Common grackle presents a gorgeous profile #birds 🌿

Oh to be a periwinkle in the fall. The only things that matter are some sunlight and water. Social media, and politics are meaningless.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The Lepto bats (Lesser Long Nose) are still around every night. Although this morning there was a bit of nectar left in the feeder; perhaps they are heading back south again as it's usually emptied. Gluttunous and messy little creatures. #bats

A beautiful read to balance out things. substack.com/@tracychrest...

High Desert Middle School at 4000 High Desert Dr. in Globe has been opened as an evacuation shelter by the American Red Cross.

From my days in Spokane.

Phew, that Lynx and Mercury game was something else. 😅

Thunderstorms have begun here in Tucson. I have to admit I didn’t really believe the forecast until it happened. Grateful for the rain!

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

It has been YEARS since I've seen this many migratory #hummingbirds at my feeders. I think these are mostly Rufous and black-chinned?

The Cranford Rose Garden’s fall flush has arrived! 🌹 In September, a second flush of roses blooms in Cranford and the Rose Arc, alongside delightful dahlias, hibiscuses, lilies, and more. BBG’s director of Horticulture Shauna Moore estimates these blooms will last until mid-October.

This was exactly what I needed to see today. After a tough weekend paying too much attention to the media circus, I wasn’t doing very well. Steve Burns is a national treasure.

🎉🎉🎉 omg, I may never get a better shot of a Northern Flicker in flight! I spotted this beauty on a Central Park tree trunk this morning, and it was kind enough to fly right at me! ❤️💛🖤 #Flicker #CentralPark #birding

Of the many paintings I saw in the Brooklyn Art Museum, this self portrait done by Sasha Gordon sticks with me. Her use of colors was incredible. #womensart

I’m going to drink enough Lipton until l no longer care.
