I guess when tumblr goes down I remember other social media exists. it's less fun out here.

Perhaps the most black and white I could possibly get for the #birdoftheday! #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is warblers? I got lots of those! here's a recent palm warbler photo. #birds #photography

pretty sure there's a bluebird nest in that telephone pole, which is a very smart place for a bluebird nest. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is birds on the ground. Here are some mourning doves posing for what could be a pretty good folk-pop album cover. #birds #photography

the difficult to photograph carolina chickadee. #birds #photography

Does this count for the #BirdOfTheDay "lunchtime" theme? #birds #photography

This might be as close as I can get. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography

Secondary #BirdOfTheDay theme is "long beak" so here's a photo of a white ibis perched high on a tree. It doesn't seem like it belongs there. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme: bird on a rock. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is "underrated" and I think pigeons are the most underrated bird, but probably a pretty popular choice for the hashtag, funnily enough. #birds #photography

please don't look at me like that. #birds #photography

I've been spotted. #birds #photography

borby northern cardinal. #birds #photography

such a sweet little face. #birds #photography

according to the feed, the #birdoftheday is a sea bird or a robin. since I have recent extra snaps of both, I'm posting both! #birds #photography

the american robin: a study in shapes. #birds #photography

dark-eyed juncos look like they'd ask you about your day and actually mean it. #birds #photography

hairy woodpecker has achieved liftoff. #birds #photography

just a little guy looking for some breakfast. #birds #photography

white-breasted nuthatch, why must you be so difficult to photograph? #birds #photography

double-crested cormorant, posin'. #birds #photography

the wonderful tufted titmouse. #birds #photography

really good shot of a northern cardinal remains elusive. if he'd juuuust turned his head a little. #birds #photography

I have to assume the birds know I have a camera now and an interest in photographing them and want to deny me the opportunity. Nothing else explains the efficiency with which they hide any time I step outside.

Northern Mockingbird scaring up some lunch. #birds #photography

despite being the most common birds in my backyard, I've yet to get a really good photo of a northern cardinal. #birds #photography

also into moon photography now, for the record. #photography #nature

and another one. #birds #addBirder #photography

hey, I'm into bird photography now. #birds #photography

peep peep peep. #birds

Apparently people don't like House Finches. I think they're marvelous. Look at that red, it's like he's glowing. #birds

I'm realizing that what I really need is an active media fandom. I'm sure that'll fix me.

The catnip plants have died.

List of things keeping me going: 1. Birds 2. The catnip plants I've managed to start growing 3. Embroidering pictures of birds.

We don't live in a world with fairness or consequences anymore. I don't know how long I'll be able to deal with this before I decide to give up.

What a lovely couple. #birds

I ended up quietly taking bird identification quizzes, by the way.

I don't like going to gatherings where there isn't a dog or a cat present. Like, what am I supposed to do here? Communicate with family members? Bad.

I want to be an expert in something so bad. Unfortunately I do not have Expert Brain. I have Soup Brain, in which everything I try to learn turns into soup.

Quote post with the first DVD you ever bought.

Yeah, that seems right for Florida.

My anxiety medication *is* working but it has the unforseen side effect of making me feel like a genius for very minor and unimpressive coding accomplishments at work.

"All capitalists want capitalism for the masses and socialism for the super rich elites. That's kind of the definition of capitalism in my honest opinion." David Graeber

This is something that my therapist was telling me about today. That the feeling of nothing mattering, of the joy being taken away from what used to give us joy, is an essential activity of fascism.

I don't want to alarm anyone about how into birdwatching I've gotten, but I was looking up cameras to buy for wildlife photography last night and the prices were not nearly as much of a deterrent as they should've been.

The good news is getting back into Stardew Valley worked great for distraction. Bad news is the distraction applies to everything and I want to leave work to play more Stardew Valley.
