How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

Meet the Himalayan Monal! 🌈 Males flaunt iridescent feathers to attract mates. Found in the Himalayas, this bird lives at altitudes up to 16,000 ft (4,877 m) in summer! It uses its hooked beak to forage for insects, seeds, and berries. Hari K Patibanda, CC BY-NC 2.0, iNaturalist

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Thinking of Barnacle geese on Monday morning #birds

Low tide at the doggo park. (This is a small portion of waterfront that is reserved for dogs. They are allowed in the water here. I would never let my dog off leash where she wasn't allowed. She also only took a look at the birds, didn't approach, and didn't scare them off.)

Did another Queen lyrics bird today. #birds #birdart #sciart

Yesterday I did a couple of Queen lyrics birds for my kid's musical theater fundraiser. These are so satisfying to do. 🥰 #birds #birdart #sciart

Post the best pic you've taken of your pet: I present my dog when she was a puppy. 🥹

they should put Merlin Bird ID on everyone’s phones automatically, like when they did the U2 album. could solve a lot of problems

PET TAX #cats

Art I did today. Willy Wonka (Honka 🤣) and Oompah Loompas for my kid's musical theater program raffle/fundraiser. #birds #birdart

From Traver Gallery: Preston Singletary "Clockwork Raven" show.

Today I went to a gallery and then I did art, sandwiched in-between pet sitting. Not a bad day, even if it was typically Seattle and gray and raining.

It's pet sitting time again and you know what that means.... Nazi pedo war criminals get pooped on by bunnies!

Today I got a moooooose

It's pet sitting week again!! 🐇

It was very good (from a photo and media op perspective) to put the first woman and first PoC that went around the Moon on the same chopper flight! Framed properly, that's the cover of TIME right there.

Welcome home! 🥰 🌎🌏🌍

Waiting for splashdown with the pup and Pokopia!

Side by side in my timeline 💙 @langooney.bsky.social

Juvenile Cooper's hawk with a morning dove for breakfast. #birds

Finished birbs - just a proposal so it's colored pencil with a quick watercolor background. #birds #birdart #sciart

Drawin' birbs #birds #birdart #sciart #wip

Finally saw the neighborhood osprey today! I don't know if I just missed them, or if they're later than usual, but either way I'm glad to see them back. ❤️ #birds

I just realized it's #drawabirdday again!! #birds #sciart

Oh also saw a yellow rumped warbler in my backyard today. 🧈

I think I might have figured out an art proposal thingy. Only took 12 days of overthinking and sketching a million little thumbnails (my least favorite thing to do.) 😮‍💨

I got out and saw some skunk cabbage today so yeah, it's bog time.

A text from my uni-aged daughter today:

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

More new U2?? My heart needs this. ❤️

Just trying to thumbnail for project ideas amidst 🔥E V E R Y T H I N G🔥 😭

AAAAHHHHHHH IT WORKED THIS IS WHAT I WANT GOVERNMENT DOING

Watching a rocket launch gives me chills every time.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Finished this horrible man today lololol I hope someone at my kid's musical theater program will actually want this in the fundraiser raffle.

I'm finally being officially assessed for autism and..... Lol think I might qualify?

Today is the Trans Day of Visibility. I am very glad my many beloved trans friends and companions are visible, because my eyesight is bad enough without a bunch of invisible people cluttering up my living room.

right winger getting cancelled vs. trans person getting cancelled

On this Trans Day of Visibility, I would just like to say that trans rights are human rights and that celebrating the trans community as a part of all communities enriches every one of us.

Yesterday I got to color fuzzy posters and play Godzilla with my little niblings. Today both elderly parents (mine and my SO's are having emergencies.) CAN THE ROLLER COASTER OF MY LIFE GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK PLEASE.

Scientists film whale giving birth while other whales work together to help her

I agree with this. But also, if you're going to watch this anyway, the very least you can do is to not tell me about it, tbh.

The other day my family went on a grey whale watching trip. We were lucky enough to watch a pair for over an hour (they were in very shallow water slurping up ghost shrimp and we were over 100 yards away): feeding together, blowing together, swimming together. It was magical. 🥰 1/2

First low tide beach walk for the year. 🌞

KEXP is playing a bunch of Muppets music right now and it's making me so happy.

LET'S GOOOO @mariners.com 🦦🔱🦭 🎥: Animal Care Specialist I Anthony

I was messing around with Canva trying to learn how to clean up the white background on an image when it did this to my whales. Lololol Not gonna lie, kinda like it.

Some day my time spent on art will not be determined by other people's schedules, but today is not that day. Sigh. Parenting.
