Mango says it’s time to close your laptop and pet your cat.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Saw my first goslings today! Well away from the cherry blossom crowds. Regular old Canadians, the Graylag is still on her nest. Can't confirm the warblers, but I did watch this very vocal vireo singing its heart out for a bit. And the ruby-crowned kinglets! My, how much fun they are... #TenMinMerlin

Uh oh: Somebody saw his horrible 33pct approval/67 pct disapproval numbers and is lashing out online all hours of the night. Shows just how laser-focused he is on the lives and economic hardships of regular Americans.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

Can't even watch the Sabres game but it's stressing me, ha, and that reminds me: the Welcome To Lindy Ruffalo sign is still up as of Sunday and I'm 100% here for it.

BREAKING 🚨: the hang in there cat let go

The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

Canadians have been taking fewer trips to the U.S. for the 14th consecutive month, coinciding with Trump's return to office, data released by Statistics Canada shows.

LIES. (Relevant photo of the day.) #morningwalk

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The girls get extra dandelions today (sound on for chicken ASMR).

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

"Let’s first remember that the US is not the whole world." Rebecca Solnit --> AMEN to this.

The ruckuses (ruckii?) around Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, etc. came years before the Weinstein revelations of fall 2017. They're still coming. Maybe the NYT should read the NYT which just did a #metoo -ish expose on Cesar Chavez.

A few weeks ago I wrote that everyone loves to write feminism's obituary. Then the NYT, of course, published ANOTHER obituary for it.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

So tired of people starting shit and then having meltdowns when things don't turn out how they expected. I know, I know, they're narcissists. Still. Grow up.

Meanwhile, I'm super stoked that I'm now eligible to become a Canadian citizen more easily thanks to this new law and my Canadian great-grandfather. www.btpm.org/ontario-news...

SCOTUS didn't acknowledge him as he entered the court, the legal arguments aren't going his way, and the 'intimidation factor' is officially hitting zero. It’s almost as if the Constitution is immune to his specific brand of theatrical pouting. Tough day for the 'King'.

This is appalling. Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of this continent and, here in New Mexico, we live that truth every day. The fact that the Solicitor General of the United States would hesitate on our citizenship is outrageous and horrific.

I cuss because soon women won’t be allowed to speak in public

Honestly the justices (particularly Justice Sotomayor) sound ... somewhat taken aback that they're even hearing this case. And ... same? Also - you didn't have to! You could have just issued a summary op saying "See the Fourteenth Amendment"! Even last year in the nationwide inujunction case!

I was so excited about all the good gull shots I was getting, imagine my delight when I turned the corner and saw hundreds of mergansers in the water. #gullsofbluesky #morningwalk

I want a lot of people to leave the country immediately but I don’t want other countries to have to put up with you either. It’s a conundrum

"Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time." Joseph Campbell, born on this day in 1904

Did anyone in #Boulder get a shot of the "ICE OUT" on the Flatirons this morning? If we can use it, send it to me here, on DMs or at [email protected]

And many more quieter feathered friends, including the gulls, the mallards, the cardinals, the cormorants, and the red-bellieds. #TenMinMerlin #morningwalk

Merlin did not hear the resident red-bellied woodpecker or the four double-crested cormorants this morning, or the kingfisher we heard yesterday. Plenty of others, though not sure about the white-crowned sparrow. #TenMinMerlin

There is an extremely large family of American crows that occasionally gathers on my corner. Today was one of those days. They have one fish crow in their murder. I'm dying to know the story behind that. Its nasal call is so very distinct and unusual, a dead giveaway. #TenMinMerlin

Confident Merlin had the red-shouldered hawk & the eagle confused with the two red-tailed hawks who were hunting & had all these other birds a flutter. I did hear wheezing, but it seems too soon for the waxwings? This is the second time in the same area-ish Merlin heard a meadowlark. #TenMinMerlin

A little late, but Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate.
