Question for other folks interested in #birds or #canadiangeese: anyone else notice them acting uh...stranger than normal?

My dad's dog is so cute 🥺

My sister got me the Audobon birds of America book and it's so dang pretty I caaaaaant #birds #audobon

Democracy isn't something that you do once and then expect it to just stay. It has to be constantly done. Consistently fought for. Hard won, every day. I hope more people woke up today and saw that. I hope more people wake up tomorrow and see it. (I may be paraphrasing a quote but can't remember

Love after Love. Derek Walcott.

Somewhat blurry video of a yellow bellied sap-sucker at Hardy Lake Provincial Park near Bala, Ontario. Little guy was movin'! #birding #woodpecker #yellowbelliedsapsucker #ontarionature #canadianwildlife

The other day, on our way to a lovely hike, we were held up by a train. A train made of railcars, all of which were carrying ...rails. endless rails upon rails. It was like an Escher painting that somehow got in my way.

Birdathon is october 17-20 and I started a team anyone can join, no matter where you are! we're raising funds for Birders of Palestine. you can join or contribute here: charity.pledgeit.org/t/lp82qPqBuu...

Big thanks to the neighbor who hired a tree company to cut down a tree ON SUNDAY MORNING. I'm just trying to chill and enjoy my coffee and all I can hear is BRAAAAAAAAAAPCRUNCHBRAAAAAAP 😤

Whether she's finding beauty amidst the horror, or the other way around, there's no one writing about the immensely important AND the deeply personal quite like @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

The world is shifting like ill-fitted seismic plates, but I try to find whatever time I can to create, and grow.

Apparently coffee is now triggering gallbladder attacks. This I cannot abide. Pry my coffee from my shaking, caffeinated hands. #health #gallbladder #ughhhh

Once again, bsky muckin' with my art when they ought not. But! I finally finished this. #wowart #worldofwarcraft #digitalart

My next single, After the Ball, will make its spectacular debut on October 3! pre-save here: sparkbird.ffm.to/aftertheball artwork by Rebecca DeMoss, graphic design by Chad Lowe

@jcsalterego.bsky.social 's post was the example in the 'hey you can save posts now' and that was an unexpected horror. Thanks for the jumpscare. (Alternatively, does this mean he's finally verified?)

What a time to be alive, when I can sit in a tiny Canadian town and eat Thai food while reading Hesiod and listening to truly epic elevator covers of songs such as 'Just the Two of us' and 'Memory'

Carrol was a delight, and the world is a little less bright without her in it. www.gofundme.com/f/help-shred...

It was four chapters. Got a nice break this afternoon and devoured more. So good. #booksky #madelinemiller #circe

Alright. I've got an hour. Let's see how far into Circe I can get. #circe #madelinemiller #booksky

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

It's 2025 and I'm still mad about Fair to Midland.

Finally finished up the shading on this this morning. on to the coloring! #art #digitalart #wip #worldofwarcraft #tychodelain #bloodelfrogue

Unsurprisingly, I've been thinking about change a lot in the last twenty four hours. After going to a mentor for help sorting my brain, and being reminded that change is the only constant in life, I woke up and went about my normal routine. Coffee on the porch, listening to traffic and the birds.

'Meet the wildlife.' Sure! Tiny disaster indeed.

I'm still working on the 'final' rendition of this piece (to include morning glories!) but I figured I'd go ahead and share the 'alternate' version of it. Had a lot of fun painting this, as well as a lot of frustration. #bloodelf #demonhunter #illidari #worldofwarcraft #art #digitalart

Oh, they're *that* couple 🙄 #worldofwarcraft #rp

Since I never share pics of Tycho in the actual game, here's...well it isn't the actual game, I guess. It's Narcissus. Whatever, here's the disaster rogue. #worldofwarcraft #transmog #wowroleplay #bloodelf #rogue #narcissusaddon

Straight from the woods to the dentist, here's hoping no spiders crawl out of my hair at the doc 😬 Gods know I walked into enough of them to make it a possibility.

I have seen four different woodpeckers today, but I have to admit, the Downie woodpecker is still my favorite of the bunch. What a little cutie. What a little shit. (Can we call birds little shits? 🤷🏼‍♀️) #birding #northamericanwoodpeckers #downiewoodpecker

These woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but the mosquitos are eating me alive #hiking #nature #birdingproblems

Finally got some answers about this bullshit pain I've been in: my gallbladder, in its infinite generosity, has seen fit to create a stone roughly the size of a golf ball, and another nearly as large, and they're both just *chilling*. As one does. #health #gallbladder #gallstones

I ordered this bracelet from @ukrainianart.bsky.social and oh my god is it ever beautiful! Just really stunning work, the pic doesn't do it a bit of justice. Here's her shop, if you want to check out her work: www.etsy.com/shop/NadiiaJ...

out here telling on myself

I forgot to post these from my first time (intentionally) birding. Honestly, best hobby, hands down. Rwbb was the only good pic of an actual bird. #nature #birding #wildlife #ontarionature

It's good to be prepared. Sometimes it isn't enough. For instance, all the non-slip shoes in the world won't save you from that one errant french fry. #truecookstories #kitchenhumor

Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.

Fuck. Sooo much bad shit. Here, have something sweet. From The Baltimore Sun, Maryland, June 15, 1924

in these dark and troubled times, live your life in such a way that @jcsalterego.bsky.social would be proud. it's the least worst way.

'Why do you do that to yourself?' A family member asks. 'You're going to drive yourself crazy.' Says my father. 'We have to protect our peace,' repeats a friend, over and over. 'I don't know,' and 'I know,' and 'I know' are my replies. And then the kicker, again from my dad: 'What can you do?'1/
