Me, talking to tech people: "Yeah, I have a lot of experience with GERD and IBS"

My middle name of the month comes from the Marabou Stork, who is undoubtedly the vulture of storks. This scuzzy fucker is almost as tall as you are and has a 8.5 ft wingspan. It eats carrion and looks crazy and has a ballsack dangling under its chin. youtu.be/JB_tSdnFa5o?...

i didn't dress up today but i did take a selfie, so i'm going to pretend i dressed as *squints* a middle aged lady from new england?

Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian author who won the 1986 Nobel Prize in literature, “received what he called a ‘rather curious love letter’ from the American authorities, that he read from in Lagos on Tuesday.”

Look, I'm trying to work but this Junco keeps trying to jump up on the birdfeeder and failing and I really have to see what happens.

Since I'm getting new followers, here's a bit about me: I'm mostly known for a weird trans novel I scribbled all over called Sea-Witch, it's 400 pages of sad slutty chaos that tells a story. Here's me reading two pieces from it: youtu.be/NyKqA5a-YhA?... (I scribbled on the video too)

The people of Gaza still need our help

birdwatching is just gamifying nature

birding is Pokemon Go for middle-aged people who own fleece jackets

the pacific northwest has finally fully nature-pilled me. i'm out here looking at books on ecology going "oo that looks like a good one"

saw three new birds yesterday: the pacific wren, the ruby-crowned kinglet (actually a bunch of them), and the eurasian collared dove

anxiety really makes everything worse huh. it's just like a little shitty flavoring that gets sprinkled on everything.

Love being Jewish.

According to this week's Torah reading, the rainbow in the sky is a reminder of God's covenant to Noah. When God sees it, God will remember the promise not to destroy the world again. implying that God is definitely going to WANT to destroy the world again. Probably on a regular basis.
