As as professional Sam and father of multiple humans & nonhumans alike, I get to joy-read very little. I was indescribably happy to have picked up The Pedestrian by @seanvongorman.bsky.social & @joeyesposito.bsky.social . A prime example of what makes an amazing comic. I love it. More please.

To every idiotic comment about 'the problem' with transfolk: This. Now it may seem like I'd agree with the popular rhetoric, what with my daddy vibes, Texas accent, and big-manly-man aesthetic, but I'm tired of explaining how full of shit you all are. Go ponder on *why* it bothers you so much.

Um, were they shackled? I mean, there are laws. But they're pretty much ignored or, at most, selectively enforced. Ain't a lotta "restraint" in Texas churches & politics, as it is.

New mushrooms today.

Are we escaping from adolescence and idealism?

The average American has three friends.

It would not be the worst thing in the world if Bluesky became known as the social media site people just hung out at and enjoyed themselves with

Words to live by.

The Crab Museum. Telling it like it is.❤️🦀

Some neat stuff we saw this week:

For eastern cottontails, make sure to save this flow chart in case you encounter any this season!

Apparently, the only thing that was keeping me from getting really into my yard, like the other dads, was the fact that I lived in a hell-swamp of misery. Here, in the land where people are intended to LIVE, I can weed'n'seed with the best-of'm! And, it just, it feels great.

Yeah, I'm an actual person. Here for the yuks and the yums. I wanna see you, your art, cool knick-knacks, pets, neat rocks, beautiful stuff, jokes, and good things happening for good people.

Hey! I got some of them too! They ARE nice.

Well, somebody is definitely having a worse day...

Some real neat mushrooms i saw today.

And the trees do THIS in April!! I was just coming down from the autumn foliage.

Like, i'm used to two birds being around. Pidgeons and the common grackle. Here, we got these adorable bastards descending en masse. I'aint never seen more than one robin at a time, ever. There were like 300 on my walk today! And i'm the only one amazed by it!!

So i moved recently. From, what can generally be referred to as, the swampy oil-rich region of the southern "united" states, to a lush valley, nestled snuggly between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges. And it's...just one of Earth's greatest gifts to living things. I am in constant awe.

Hey!! Check out my bulesky. I am normal.
