Why the fuck can't I write "nuthatch" on Tiktok without having to get banned by some broken bot for 2 weeks and needing to take a ridiculous boot camp quiz to prove that I'm not violent, but other people can just casually write the word FUCK everywhere and they're totally fine?!

me filming stuff for all my shows #behindthescenes #catbird

Park ranger: Do you hear the red cockaded woodpeckers? Me: Yes! There are tons! I took a picture of one but when I zoomed in, it seems I took a picture of a red-bellied woodpecker... (shows her the photo.) Park ranger: Hmm...Maybe. If you post it on inaturalist, someone can confirm for sure. ⬇️

wtf south, there’s no ice scraper

I’m really glad to be going somewhere that just simply has a freeze warning.

the amount I need to do just to leave the house for 3 days is incredible. and this is winter. #homesteading

I’m about to leave for a few days and this one makes it horrible. #chickensky

My lights aren’t on. A combination of the moonlight and snow are making the icicles glow.

they’re there because something froze to death you dud

weather report says the snow has concluded. uhh ok?

is the acnh update really themed around designing hotels…because that’s literally all I was doing with happy home paradise

it turns out it can in fact snow heavily when it’s 4 degrees out, my bad it is extremely powdery and it feels warm

fox news’ coverage of the nurse murdered by the US government really sums up everything you need to know about what’s wrong with america

there are fully valid reasons to loathe tiktok's US owners and deleting your account is not an overreaction, but literally nothing of note has changed about their TOS or privacy policy. it's always been this dodgy, as is the rest of the internet. it would be nice to have laws but we can't, so...

what the murderous hell is an "illegal protest" on american soil supposed to mean?

Oh boy it happened. I have to agree to Tiktok's new terms of service to continue. The only other time I've taken the time to read a terms of service agreement is when I bought a house but I'm doing this.

The forecast says a foot of snow but a high of 13 degrees. How’s that supposed to work?

What a happy feeling to realize tomorrow’s a holiday late on a Sunday night.

this is my snow cave #winter #nature #cozy

it’s been in the 40s for a few days and now people keep asking me if I’m ready for spring. I’ve been ready since august but it’s freaking january…we’re not even a month in.

oh hey, I made that video.

testing to make sure the wren is so very soothing #catsky #calm

every day feels like that day when we were stuffed into a room full of 300 people for an all staff meeting to talk about a deadly airborne virus and plans for lockdown

I don't understand why it's so easy for me to recognize vague feather patterns of blurry photos of bird butts taken with someone's iphone but when it comes to clearly laid out patterns of wing venation with a million guides full of labels, my brain just dies and can't process basic geometry.

This is one of the prettiest beetles I've ever encountered in New England, Lebia viridis. #bugs #entomology #naturesky #gardening

I can't imagine any woman would even want to serve this abhorrent terrorist country that kidnaps people for oil and hates everyone, so whatever. www.npr.org/2026/01/06/n...

A Friend Sent Me Tonight’s Crow O’Clock From Disneyland

I'm pretty sure this is how Tiktok's algorithm works these days: Scenario 1 - Algorithm: "Why does no one like this video?! This can't be!" *keeps trying to find an audience forever and ever so video gets a million views but no one actually likes it* next ⬇️

Super cute. I'm concerned how I haven't seen one of these in 2 years, though I guess I have a catbird and thrasher guarding my garden. Wish they'd do a better job with the cabbage worms. #bugsky #caterpillars #gardening

I can't find any photos or very much info but I am assuming this is Cotesia orobenae, a common endoparasitoid of cross-striped cabbage moths, Evergestis rimosalis. Commonly ID'd in online spaces as C. glomerata, but I don't believe it's correct. They host on cabbage whites. #bugsky #gardening

I think I’ve developed an obsession with insects that use other insects as their nesting site.

so much for the chickens windbreaker

wow, apparently I have a video of the moment the brown thrasher showed up in my yard. stopped me in my tracks. that guy was sort of the turning point where I went from casual birder to following them around all day, learning their language, and basically doing field work on them. #birds

remembering that time when the chickens had a picnic #chickensky #pets

Is Merlin just broken now...? I thought it was being slow and glitchy because I had a million recordings saved, but I finally just did a full clean sweep, removed and reinstalled the app, and it's still slow af and won't let me set a location without crashing....

How do I get my insanely xylophagic weird cats to stop eating all the Christmas presents?!

all the stuff I ordered for work *yesterday* arrived today as if I need it right now, while half the stuff I ordered a week+ ago for Christmas with a delivery date “arrives before Christmas” has yet to arrive

remembering that time when we lived with tree frogs that would start chorusing in the middle of the night. #frogs #pacificchorusfrog #cute

it breaks my heart to think someone bought the home alone house and then tore down all the wallpaper

the number of times I've been asked to somehow produce a video with almost no media to work with has is getting a little ridiculous, I'm out of ideas.

I have such bad laryngitis that I have no way to call my doctor's office before they close for the holidays to order refills of the meds that are "too spooky" to be able to refill online thanks to octogenarian lawmakers who know nothing about pharmacology and are too proud to try anything I take

"Shoppers Spent Big This Holiday Season, Despite Economic Pressures" uhhh yeah, there's no way to not spend big anymore when simple gifts are $50+ now.

this is my yard hawk. (one of them) #birds #bluejay

The hummingbird clearwing video reminded me that that’s what people think tomato/tobacco hornworms turn into. They don’t. They turn into weird and beautiful hawkmoths. They’re fluffy and have big eyes. If you’re a gardener, I recommend buying a hamper. These are Manduca sexta. #moths #bugsky

welcome to my life #chickensky

sweet, the ice melted, I can finally harvest the rest of my beans. #gardensky

My Louisianan friend sent me a crawfish Santa Claws ornament and it is the most brilliant interpretation of St Nicholas I’ve ever witnessed. Look at this thing!!!
