I don't like how my life feels right now and a lot of it has to do with technology. I'm logging out of every app and I don't know when/ whether I will log back in. Thank you to all the wonderful people who made this place an enjoyable respite in the beginning. Those were funtimes. ✌🏽💛

Meh

Here are my final #BirdingStats at the end of October: #20 in the Top 100 birders in my county by # of species ID'd here in 2025 (124). #4 in the Top 100 birders in my county by # of complete checklists here in 2025 (550). #Birds #MarylandBirding

when in doubt, be gay, do witchcraft.

I went to DC today and saw National Guardsmen walking around. They looked like tourists. There were also fighterjets flying low in tight formation.

Fresh, and full of life! #TheFreshmaker

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

I don’t want to get up I’m too comfy in bed

Has there ever, in the full course of human history, been a single time when the folks burning or even just banning #books turned out to be the good guys? Ever? One time?

I don't know what the hell is going on. I just cannot keep up. Not even trying to right now. It's...too much. Do I even go here? 😬😅

I *cannot* stop listening to this Yom Kippur song by Ishay Ribo. It's just too beautiful. 🥲 #SederHaAvodah #IshayRibo #סדרהעבודה #ישיריבו pandora.app.link/UbSd8gd6CXb

OMG SO MANY KINGLETS!!!! Here is my #OctoberBigDay eBird trip report, showing which birds I encounter just *today*. (These are also included in my #GlobalBirdWeekend trip report that runs Oct 10-12.) AND there are still 8+ hours left in the day to do more #birding! 🤪 ebird.org/tripreport/4...

First bird of the day for #OctoberBigDay: #CarolinaChickadee

Marshawn Lynch is cool. Birds are cool 🪶 youtu.be/u5-X76803A0?...

I went #birding for over 8 HOURS today! 🪽 And I STILL got work done in between checklists! 🤳🏽 I'm calling today a WIN! 💪🏽 Check out my #GlobalBirdWeekend Trip Report to see where I'm starting before birding and doing my first group #BigSit for #OctoberBigDay tomorrow! ebird.org/tripreport/4...

I have gotten at least one #lifer every month this year except January. I already got one for October at the start of the month (a Nashville warbler 😏), but maybe I can get more this weekend? 🤞🏽 Wish me luck! 🐦 #GlobalBirdWeekend

Today is the start of #GlobalBirdWeekend, which incorporates tomorrow's #OctoberBigDay (I'm going to my first ever #BigSit!). I'll share my October Big Day Trip Report link tomorrow…but if you want to follow along the whole weekend, I created a report for all three days! ebird.org/tripreport/4...

Did I just put on a pair of long johns? Why, yes I did. Because it's almost 9AM and still only 45 °F. 🥶 And I haven't been outside of my house since Tuesday. 🫥

Today is the first ever #NationalPrEPDay. What is #PrEP? www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/h... #EndHIV #EndHIVStigma #SexualHealth

I found it on YouTube 🤗 This was my favorite October movie tradition as a kid. #TheWorstWitch #FairuzaBalk #CharlotteRae #TimCurry #DianaRigg youtu.be/soy9Z6KuvNA?...

Watching "The Worst Witch" (1986) might fix me, IDEK. 🙄 #GrowingUpIsntEasy

I am definitely in the throes of an existential crisis.

I know that summer is officially, really, TRULY over now (here in the northern hemisphere, obviously) because I am COLD AF 🥶 We have entered into my less favored half of the year. Ah well. You'd think I'd have gotten used to it after decades of living—but no! Still hate cold, short, dark days. 😑

What a thread.

If you are ever in a position of power... in any, many, or every way... and you find yourself reminding people over whom you have influence & power how grateful they should be? You are the one who messed up and who is in the wrong. Like... 99% of the time.

Sorry, y'all, but I have to put in a full day's work now. I appreciate your thoughtful and considerate responses. I don't have the capacity to engage each thought directly right now...but I may later if I am up for it. Ironic, nu? 🙍🏾‍♂️ Have a beautiful day!

😅 In his sermon this morning, the rabbi told the entire congregation to "get off of social media," so... 😅

👇🏽

I may need to give up social media. The cons are beginning to outweigh the pros...and life is just way too damn short. *sigh*

"How you die does not redeem how you lived" He spent his life trying to make the world a worse place for people like me. While I won't celebrate violence, I also won't faux sympathy just because hate made its way back to him. There can be no unity with those who support hate...

Good morning. Being miserable isn’t gonna make you more politically aware. Go have as much fun as your brain will allow

OMW home from PA and in a pretty decent mood. 😎 Might take this down later, IDK 😏 😅

Spent the day #birding in PA. Got two lifers: • Black-throated Green Warbler • Wilson's Warbler Funtimes! 😎

Being brown is not illegal.

I canceled Disney+ tonight. Told them "fascists don't get my money." Gotta speak their language.

My kind of bait and switch 👏🏽
