As someone whose most common birding environment by far is her backyard, I absolutely love the sentiment Ryan writes about here! It's such a magical feeling to get to know a place deeply, its seasonal ebbs and flows and the life that flits and floats in and through it 💖

Update: have made it home from grocery shopping (the complete store shuffling was NOT appreciated, Aldi), and taking a momentary respite before tackling cheese breakdown for charcute dinner

Thanks y'all, the comfort food-hunting was a good distraction, feeling a little more settled 💕

Shared one of the most traumatic experiences of my life in therapy and now I'm wandering around Kroger with no clue what I'm doing, please send help.

NGL, I have a crush on at least 24 of you fine Bsky folks, with plenty of room in my heart for more if you play your cards right

May have lost in a walkoff, 12-11, BUT (and??) I got stopped getting in my car by a guy ostensibly asking about the game & how one would get into the league before getting to "I was standing there & saw a fine-ass woman walk by & had to find out what was up", so... 🤷‍♀️💅 (Note: photo taken pre-game)

I should probably go thrifting today, right?

I'm glad we don't play Indiana this year, because nothing is preventing me from enjoying another Hoosier playoff run

HOOONSIERSSS

MIZZOU CLONGGGG

Oh FUCK OFF with the spread mention, ffs

COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A MORE RICHLY DESERVING MAN BOOMER

Perfectly normal football game in Norman, I see

Fuuuuuuck a two-minute timeout

MATEER BULLSHIT (COMPLIMENTARY)

Freshman future-elite QB looking like it, just win some games, get Bryce some hands, conquer the world next year

Well, it was way sillier than it needed to be, but...victory formation. "They don't ask how, they just ask how many."

THEY DON'T ASK HOW, THEY ASK HOW MANY, LET'S GOOOOO

Fuck yeah, LET'S FUCKING GO

THANK YOU MAX

Ffs if that's targeting wtf are we even doing here?

Raiola is absolutely the reason Nebraska is in the game here, and also probably the biggest reason they are not going to win

ZVADA AAA AAAAAA AAAAAA

"they don't ask how, they ask how many"-ass season

This part not so much

Gotta stay inbounds, chief

GREAT TEAMS TAUNT, REFS

Wtf, Hillman

Enjoying this portion of the game, tbh

ZVADAAAAAAAA

Bullshit

CFB commentators understand how 3 dimensions and perspective work challenge: impossible

FUCK THAT, TOO COOL TO CALL INCOMPLETE

A WILD 3RD DOWN CONVERSION APPEARS

LOL THANKS I HATE IT

Nebraska, you need better big guys

🤨

I, um, missed some points?

WELCOME BACK ZVADA

FUCK

NOOOOOO

Go for it, Huskers!

Wooooof

Go for it, Huskers

Standing/walking: belly button under there somewhere, no worries Sitting: top button eaten by navel, v. uncomfy, plz send help

Well, nothin' for it but to boldly Go Blue 💙💛

Wore my "standing/walking" shorts to work today instead of my "sitting" shorts, so if you walk into the shop and it looks like I'm buttoning them back up, that's because I am.

Thinking deeply unholy thoughts about Iowa's offense?!

Kicking game's haunted

IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
