Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season: 🧵 * Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals. * We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water. 1/

My new hobby is playing the alto part in the hymn on the soprano recorder and pretending it's a descant. I think it often sounds really good! ...please send help. For the people whose apartments share a wall with mine. 🎶

Day 6 is the Outside Agitator poster I made that's kept me aligned while wading through so much bullshit in 2025; sales from this have supported some critical mutual aid and helped get an old friend housed, so I'm extra grateful for it. Love finding ways to remix bird photos 😊🪶📸

I would like to take a second to address something that always comes up when COVID trauma is discussed. I will tell you that I am not a therapist or psychiatrist. I’m just someone with PTSD. Ready? You know there’s that famous book about bodies keeping the score written by a creep?

Very good advice on preparing for major holiday meals, which also works for major Church services, FYI to clergy who are panicking because how does Advent always manage to sneak up on you???

Here's a little more detail of the eye ring on the male Black-headed Trogon at Agami Island. The blue is skin; not feathers. One day, I hope to get a closer view of this species.

There are a lot of different eagle and hawk species in South Africa, but there was one in particular that I was hoping to see. It was kind of hidden by branches, high in a tree , but then, this African Fish Eagle took off to check out the riverbank in the late evening light!

One of my favorite birds. This kingfisher caught a crayfish in a suburban pond, beat it against the branch a few times, and after about 10 tries swallowed it whole. Extra angles included because she's a beaut. 🪶

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

It's not that church people are more likely to be like this, it's just that people who are like this are more likely to seek out churches.
