Sometimes I see something in nature and then spend the next several years waiting for the shot. Sometimes I never get it. Sometimes you see it and a week later you land it: I give you tonight's murder of crows in front of the sunset. 🪶

I hate when my doorbell rings and I have to stop whatever I’m doing to be quiet and not answer the door.

What Banksy says…

Why is a baby alpaca called a cria and not an alpacino? And other questions that keep me awake at night.

Exhibit A on why the PRESS Act is vital not only for press freedom but for national security: the ongoing effort to force journalist Catherine Herridge to out alleged intelligence sources.

This little plumpkin doesn’t really love me, but she’s learning to fake it for Friskies. She’s also a mighty hunter in her own mind.

Deeply disturbing. We're living in an oligarchy.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

This one stepped out of the forest right smack in front of me, posed for a few photos and then moved on. Did you know wolf pups have blue eyes and they change to this bright yellow over time ?

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

Now I cannot unsee it!

Hey you! Use a piece of tinfoil to reflect some light under your mushrooms! Same enoki, with and without using a tinfoil reflector

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

Perspective is everything

The hydrangea by the front steps is so confused by the weather this month. Me, too, sweetie. Me, too.

Do you really even have your life together if you don't have a favorite pen?

Sometimes you just need a good hug

This is what I needed to see today!

The mistake here is the word “surrender.” That presumes X itself is like land, or a real-world resource. But its only actual resource is its userbase. i.e. us. Basically, if we leave it, we’re not ceding territory to the Nazis, we’re taking the territory with us. And telling them to fuck off.

@marcc.bsky.social Do you have this one? file:///x:/Desktop/Downloads/Hazel%20Louisa%20Hood.jpg
