I love that there are so many great non-alcoholic beers out there nowadays. I haven't been much of a beer drinker since the early days of the pandy, but fuck does a cold IPA ever just hit sometimes

Serana, who has already been going through it (tooth pulled, infection, antibiotics, bad reaction to nausea meds, etc etc) just got sprayed by a stray cat through the screen and all hell has broken loose in this 500 sq/ft home.

I imagine that there is a position at Concur where the whole job is to find inventive new ways to make the system worse

The line of storms had a nice lil shelf on it by the time it approached Arthur. #ONStorm

I saw a couple warblers today too

Saw an oriole today

While I would very much like this to be more of a storm chasing account, a number of factors have kept me more in birding territory these past few years

Some slightly more conspicuous warblers

Can someone tell me what bird this is?

Warblers are infuriating

Last night, a Chinese rocket dumped its fuel of the central US. I was teaching a Milky Way photography class and was lucky to see it happen and get photos of it. This is one of the photos.

Two years ago we got quite a show

Hell yeah I got the big census

Pearson is a magical place where, inexplicably, every gate is the worst gate

Seemingly very committed to appearing Arthur as all hell at all times

I turned 34 this week which feels absurd to say. I spent the start of the week wandering trails around Leamington taking photos of whatever birds I could spot.

Growing up my favourite movie was Fly Away Home (still is) and for awhile that gave me a really unrealistic understanding of how easy it might be to befriend a goose

Trying to convince myself that I am handling my life just fine while I continue to chew apart my bleeding fingertips

I tried these so you don't have to! They taste like a mix of durian, off-sour (like something kinda rotten), and what I can imagine I'd taste if I ate a spoonful of dust out of my vacuum. The taste lingers long after eating them. -67/10 would not recommend.

Another beautiful day on the internet

It's international beaver day today so here are some of my favs from last year

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Earth being so annoying (too bright) that the Artemis crew has had to cover it up in the window with a t-shirt absolutely tracks.

This game is now the thread I am hanging on by

“clown event still possible” put that in your pocket, I can already tell you that this is the key phrase of 2026

I do not belong at the Crowne Plaza everyone was dressed in full business attire for breakfast

Been living here a year. Singing neighbour mode activated

I am a failed birder I was unaware of the return of the swans and didn't bring my camera on the road today

The River Trail is just the river now

I caved and ordered a Switch 2 because Pokopia looks too lovely to not explore as soon as possible

I bet Shoresy will get really dark now.

I had to go to South Carolina this week and I went for a walk in the sun and I heard frogs singing and birds chirping and it was humid enough to make my hair poof and I loved every minute of that

Was spelling something out on the phone the other day and said "C as in uh.. capybara" and that works I suppose but maybe was a lot of syllables

Stuart McLean was one of the most beloved storytellers and humorists in Canadian history. Known as the Story-Telling Comic, his stories explored both humorous and serious themes. His show, Vinyl Cafe, was acclaimed. This is his story. 🧵 1/10

Never understood the whole "it's a rental put everything down the sinks and toilets because fuck landlords" mentally. You know who else is affected by a wastewater backup? ALL YOUR NEIGHBOURS

I love that I named the most unserious cat imaginable after the most serious character in Skyrim

Finally got this project going

this shit is metal

Got a rental yesterday that had a bullet hole through the driver door into the passenger door

I am stuck at my parents because weather and I am not having fun

Another one! #birdart

Keeping at it. #birdart

I bought a small sketchbook in hopes that I'd draw a bit. Seems to be working #birdart

My hotel room today is not great but the breakfast is pretty good why is it always one or the other but never both

Recurring new years tradish that I did not ask for: car broken

Not sure why I chose to leave my home which was nearly guaranteed to have consistent power to go somewhere that is the opposite
