40 bucks in a week, even with pretty good sales, is simply untenable. Never mind getting internet: I have had to spend my insurance money on living expenses and last month's bills are due. Weekends are traditionally my best moment to catch up, but so far we're far from home. DAY GOAL: 0/1000

Pavlov after having a dog: remarkable creatures, trainable and responsive, I have so much to say Schrödinger after having one cat: scientifically speaking, the essence of cat is unknowable

#BirdOfTheDay theme: #takeoffs Here's a male Common Goldeneye taking to the air. The "running on water" stage never fails to crack me up it's kind of adorable -- False Creek, Vancouver. March 2024 #photography #birds

#BirdOfTheDay it looked like these two House Sparrows (an adult male and female) were #fighting pretty viciously, each trying to twist around the other and bite the back of its head. Never seen anything like it -- Reifel Bird Sanctuary, June 2024 #photography #birds

EVERY SINGLE ONE IS FUNNY

#BirdOfTheDay Here are two #CloseUps of Sandhill Cranes, members of the family that resides in the Reifel Bird Sanctuary most of the year. One three months old colt, and one adult with its red "mask" and striking orange eyes. -- Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. September 2024

#BirdOfTheDay: a Great Blue Heron on the Vancouver downtown seawall, ambling along and catching its balance on some tricky #rocks (Also covers the secondary theme of #longbeak) -- Vancouver, September 2023 #photography #birds

I believe that Donald Trump and MAGA is in fact a key result of what happens when anyone left of Adolf Hitler falls for the admonishment to Respectfully Listen to the Differing Opinions of Others. (Curious how one-sided this always is).

I WILL STAB THE WORLD IN ITS FUCKING EYE #birds #AngryBirds

I do think this is one of fascism's main hooks, the full-on demonization of mental/emotional discomfort, the casting of it as a state of victimization at the hands of a diabolical (((them))). It casts laziness as our natural state, and one to which we are entitled.

#BirdOfTheDay I've seen Horned #Grebes around here a few times before, but always in their drab winter outfits. The "horns" in their name refers to their gold-ish split crest, contrasting so beautifully with their red eyes and soft black heads -- Vancouver, BC. June 2025 #photography #birds

#BirdOfTheDay A Virginia Rail! It looks like I stood still long enough for this extremely shy marsh bird to emerge a little bit, before it retreated back into #hiding in the reeds. This is the only shot I could get -- Lost Lagoon, Vancouver. September 2023 #photography #birds

LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles including “Andrew”, curse him to wander the Earth as “the nameless one”

Getting very anxious about rent now. Less than a day before cut off and I’m still short on rent by a ways. :(

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

#BirdOfTheDay I call this piece "The Gull With The Pearl Earring I Mean Golf Ball" The local gulls seem to always be playing with all sorts of junk. Don't know if they carry it here, or it makes its way in naturally -- Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake. January 2024 #photography #birds #gulls

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

For #BirdOfTheDay "Pairs Of The Same Bird" #TwosDay here's a Cedar Waxwing couple swapping a bit of food back and forth, as a bonding ritual. Usually a berry but in this case it's a chunk of snail meat. -- ƛ̓éxətəm (Tlahutum) Regional Park, June 2025 #photography #birds

A glorious morning on the tranquil shores of the St. Lawrence river in Canada's beautiful Thousand Islands region, as the sun broke through clearing clouds & painted it all in wonderful golden light! #bluesky #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #travel #nature #sunrise

With your telescopes combined, I am Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light! Want to know the coolest part of this painting other than the fact it’s an Earth-sized storm? The paint colors used in each of the 3 sections are completely different from each other!

Photographed literally today, my #BirdOfTheDay is a juvenile Little Blue #Heron, super rare in these parts and far from home! Seems to be doing okay so far, though. It's scarfing down all the frogs in the park and any fish it can find, and has very little fear of people. #photography #birds

light both particle and wave

#BirdOfTheDay is all about #Egrets. Here's a Great Egret I saw a couple years ago. They're considered a rarity in these parts! -- Jericho Beach Park, Vancouver. September 2023 #photography #birds

#BirdOfTheDay #sunlit Here's a goose having a rest behind a park bench on a bright July afternoon, a beautifully framed Bewick's Wren, a Song Sparrow going all "Phantom", and a dramatically lit Lesser Scaup #photography #birds

Gonna have to go hard today, because it's the last weekend of October, we're scheduled to depart for France on the 4th of November, and in all the car crash/broken head gasket shit I completely neglected to prepare. I'm gonna be a busy boy! 2390/3500

#BirdOfTheDay #Flying #FlyDay Well, 'tis the season, so I'm going with Snow Geese. They pass through the region in huge honking flocks of hundreds and thousands, from Alaska or Siberia down to Mexico -- though some settle around Salish Sea / Puget Sound over the winter #photography #birds

I’m currently haemorrhaging the very little money I have trying to get effective ADHD meds and also just paying my basic bills. DWP are dragging their feet on getting me further support and jobs are still bad. If anyone if interested in buying any of my LEGO, that’d be appreciated.

#BirdOfTheDay theme: #raptors Let's go with: - an Osprey flying overhead - a Cooper's Hawk right in my 'hood, staring me down - a teeny and adorable Saw-whet Owl trying to nap - a Northern Harrier coming in very close (she veered off at the last minute) #photography #birds
