‘Now, wilt thou be ganging?’ he asked authoritatively.

today I saw a crow sneezing several times… 🥺 it was a really cute sound

Last night at the movie theater there were a bunch of people there for Wicked and a lot of them were dressed up as Wizard of Oz characters, including a family where the two kids were Dorothy and the Lion. It was very cute

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

Then we have the other special duck resident, this massive Swedish Blue. He’s become very popular among parkgoers after moving in earlier this year

こんにちはキクイタダキ🏵️ #birds #goldcrest #菊戴

I finally got to take some better photos of this beautiful duck that we’ve observed at the park the past few years

We encountered some schoolchildren about to conduct a mentos-and-coke science experiment on the sidewalk. A girl said, “you guys can pass, I don’t want this to blow up in your face”

I’m full of veggies, tofu, and fruit

What shall we do with a drunken sailor? In any case, we should treat him with compassion.

They started randomly playing Wicked Game by Chris Isaak while I was in the chair at the dentist’s office. The rest of the playlist the entire visit was just regular pop music

And I got these two used books today. I’m curious to see how accurate the birding book still is (it’s from the 90s) but either way it’s got great illustrations. I wasn’t familiar with the fantasy novel, but apparently it’s set in Seattle!

I saw a couple cool older editions of The Two Towers at the used bookstore today

I really liked this review of the movie, thought I would share it here too

For today's #BirdOfTheDay the theme is all about Birds looking a bit on the #Round side. And the Alternative Birds are #Sparrows. I've gone with a Chaffinch, Robin, Bullfinch & Dunnock all looking #Round #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #naturephotography #ukbirding @rspb.bsky.social

Tonight we watched Mannequin (1987) and that honestly ruled. It had an animated opening credits sequence done by Sally Cruikshank

I forgot about this. I love the description of Heathcliff’s face here

eBird rare bird alert for Swablu

To be honest, I run into people unnecessarily hogging empty seats on crowded buses way more often than I encounter the person on the bus playing loud music/videos without headphones

I don’t even care about that movie but it’s so stupid and mean every time a kid or younger actor gets cast in a thing and the internet goes to town making fun of or complaining about their appearance

I kind of want to keep this going for a little while! One of the next movies definitely has to be Moonstruck

tonight I’m finally gonna watch Wings of Desire, something I’ve been meaning to do for a very long time

researching the new bag I'm going to get like the fate of the world depends on it

I think I overexerted myself (and possibly also ate some stuff I shouldn’t have), because I seem to be having another one of those full-body inflammation episodes. I’ll eat better this week…

I was just thinking about how this exercise worked really well as practice for getting better at interrupting negative/harmful thoughts and words in the long term. It turns out those muscles can be made to atrophy

Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️ Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration, made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology
