My favorite comic ever!

"Spell check" was the gateway drug to AI, and I will not be dissuaded from this point.

6:31 AM: It's always a bit startling when the old month bows out and the new month steps into place without making a sound. One simply looks up from one's tea, and there is a clean new page on the calendar. Merry we meet, December! You've caught us in a flurry, but you are very welcome indeed. ✨️

“Frog,” asked Toad, “did this really happen?” “Maybe it did, and maybe it didn’t,” said Frog.

Yes, it is on the north side.

Toad ran home. He made sandwiches. He made a pitcher of iced tea. He put everything in a basket.

Look at my little Gilbert Green! He just turned 5 years old. He's a gloriously beautiful jerk with half a brain cell and I love him. (Bantam Cochin)

Pixie cup lichen. I do love the quirky things that dwell near my house.

“Here we go” said Frog.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

Depression and anxiety. What a ridiculous pair. 10/10 would not recommend.

Forward.

Summer, outro.

#CandleOfHope for people making difficult decisions.

Moving forward, albeit uphill. The easier path is backward; all traps are baited with tender, tempting things. Be a light, if you can; even an impossibly tiny flicker keeps the darkness at bay.

Giving regards to the north island sea. 31st October, 2025.

A Halloween mirror is made by the rays of the moon shining into a looking-glass. If a girl sits down at the mirror at midnight and cuts an apple into 9 slices, holding each on the point of a knife before she eats it, she will see her future lover in the mirror, asking for the last piece of apple.

Today's view. North island.

Today's #PNW sunrise.

Release the hounds! I am free for THREE DAYS!

And all of it without violating the Constitution or terrorizing people in their own neighborhoods.

I am two workdays away from my first 4-day* holiday since 2019! *non-consecutive.

No, it's fine. Everything is fine... www.earth.com/news/enormou...

@davindaire.bsky.social This is what happens when your squash plants cross-pollinate with your pumpkins. SQUMPKINS!

All I could think while snapping this photo was: " How many creatures are watching me right now?"

While 2020 was an odd, nightmarish year, my manic attention to gardening produced perhaps the world's most beautiful pumpkin.

Hello, lovely. 🕸🩷🕸

I am Toad. Absolutely Toad. Unapologetically Toad.

Madness. Look at you. You're gorgeous!

🐏 New Absolute Units 🐏 Same-sex relationships have always been part of rural England, but they've been underrepresented in our collections. In the first of 2 episodes, @timjerrome.bsky.social shares his work tracing queer rural lives in The MERL archives. merl.reading.ac.uk/explore/abso...

Because the world has too many loud sounds and sharp edges, please enjoy a look back at Reggie, a Pacific tree frog who took up residence in an outdoor planter at my workplace last October. #pnwtreefrog #tinybuthugelyloud

On a dreary morning this week a few hundred Yellow-headed Blackbirds gathered to perch atop reed clumps in a flooded field, making it look alive as if with wild sunflowers. It was a brief appearance, the likes of which I’ve not seen before. Another of Mother Nature’s special moments. #birds_matter

They say the night has a thousand eyes, but this mushroom has two of 'em. #pnwmushrooms #spookyfungus

Yes, you may have all my toast edges. 🐶 🧈 🍞

There's a distinct chill in the air today. The sun is hiding directly behind this tree, possibly trying to shrug into a cardigan before anyone notices. #pnwautumn

Look at you, so ridiculously pink, despite the calendar! Be a Queen, little geranium! 🌸

Books! The color blue! Ghosts and Goblins! And the month of October! I approve this message (and repost it every year)....

@davindaire.bsky.social I believe Turner painted this morning's sepia sunrise.

I am Toad. I am also Frog. But at least we're together in all this nonsense.

Toodle-doo to a brilliant Monday. Coffee with a dear old friend; sublime, teary, and hilarious. Love you madly, Xander. 💜

Hiya, 5th October!

It's October, and that means... A rewatch of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken! "Why don't you run up an alley and holler Fish?" #andtheyusedbonami #murderanddeath #attaboyluther

Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mock’ry, hence!

Fly agaric. Stunning to look at but poisonous. It can be spotted on lowland heath around birch and pine, where it is thought to have a mycorrhizal relationship - sharing nutrients between tree roots and the fungi itself. 📷 Olivia French #SouthDowns #AutumnVibes

Oopsie. It's 1:30, and I need to be to work by 8. 😵

My young friend Mouse said, "Flowers are sunshine that grows out of the dirt." Here's a bit of sunshine, for whomever needs it. 🐭+🌼=☀️

October is rolling in with a storm here in the #PNW and Clive is ready for it. Smug bastard.
