Little Egret at the Crosby Marine Lake #birds

Damn, Maddox and Rose were out here doing pro-gold-digger feminist anthems in 1950: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-sQ...

Corvids are great because you'll go to some place looking for some weird specific species you've never seen before and by the time you're there 45 minutes not only have you seen the bird but about four of them are taking turns trying to steal your sandwich.

ITS LIKE A SNAKE

Watching a Steller's Jay choke down whole peanuts with the shell on is wild. They fully open their throat like a snake.

One time I went back to Indiana to visit my friend I grew up with and I told him, "We should get up to some real Indiana Bullshit." By the end of my trip his housemate who we'd been drinking with ended up on the run from the cops for stabbing someone. Be careful what you wish for.

I love how the lyrics to this are just sung limericks for some inexpicable reason www.youtube.com/watch?v=etYv...

I just sang "goldfinches" like I was Shirley Bassey singing the james bond Goldfinger theme song but my wife didn't get the joke

TIL apparently Dallas gets more rain than Seattle

SHIVERS - BY THE WAY, APOLOGIZE TO YOUR PARTNER AT ONCE. UNITY AMONG THE RANKS IS PARAMOUNT.

Quizzing myself on Gull identification and I keep singing to myself, "oh I wish they all could be California Gulls" like the beach boys

My first two Western Tanagers came to our feeders today. That's three life birds in my yard in a single week! Also the Black-Headed Grosbeak pair came back in full breeding plumage (they were looking a little molting-scruffy last time they showed up a few weeks ago)

Cliff, Barn, Bank, Tree, Violet-Green, and Northern Rough Winged

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

yeah you could say i had mail socialization (i like to send people little trinkets of affection through the postal service)

please help this little boy regain his eyesight.

When you've invested a lot of time in a very long novel and suddenly get the feeling that maybe it isn't very good...

playing a little tune

I've been selling on Etsy for 19 years. They just removed my "Star Seller" badge, and are now threatening to suspend my account, for years-old listings that violated their new content policies. Not sure how much longer I'll last on there, so smoke 'em if you got 'em. www.etsy.com/shop/thorazos/

im doing this part about $2K short of what i planned on btw, so if you want to help me not have a prolonged panic attack about it, here's how: www.gofundme.com/f/help-veron...

I asked my wife to tell me not to post this and she read it and laughed and said "post it" so if i end up in an argument about this it's @megg.lol's fault.

today's sighting: gray catbird, singing

For those who may have missed it, I have put out two books in the last six months: SARA and Black Hole Science SARA is a novel in fragments about a girl, her dog in an impossible dream world. Black Hole Science is a collection of short material from 2012-2025. Get both at never.horse/books.html

This Turkey Vulture was getting mobbed by Red-Winged Blackbirds

the jewish urge to kiss all the books that got dropped on the floor

Prior and I saw this fish (center left, pardon the blue tint) at the zoo and I was like "that looks like a Common Yellowthroat" and I showed her a Common Yellowthroat (right) and she was like "oh shit, it does."

i heard the nashville warbler singing from the tree out front, didnt expect to find the black-throated green hanging out with him #birds 🪶

We (trans people) really need more clarity on the difference between anti-trans language and even policies from the government and the extent to which any of it's actually being enforced.

I am calling back to this writeup by Garrison Davis (shatterzone.substack.com/p/the-trans-...) when i ask: is this a real threat with money/law/bodies behind it? Bc it seems like "anyone who looks Brown" is the main focus in this document. time.com/article/2026...

Ooo

Guy posting joke that will immediately get him banned: the mods need a wedgie imo Failed United States congressman replying to a 22-month old post by a teenage tgirl who censored his name so he couldn’t name search it: bitch boy u better shut fuck up before i do a Grave Of The Fireflies to yuor ass

It's also funny to talk about it in this way because it's mostly fantasy and impossible stuff but sometimes the method of telling has to match something interior about what's being documented otherwise it would fall apart. It was both very romantic and also the worst, just both constantly.

Sea-Witch to me feels like Valencia or Rat Bohemia, capturing a time & space that once existed but never will again so completely i never had to have been there to understand what it was like for those who were

Sea-Witch is so extremely tied to the late 2010s PNW transfem scene in my mind that it's hard to understand what it would look like to people who didn't experience that time and place. Even if it exists only as a document of that scene, I'm still proud of that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaSr...
