Makes sense! Iโm glad youโve gotten to experience some. :)
what if there was a snabbit. just consider it
That movie was seriously formative for my brain. Just amazingly unique while also referencing so much at the same time.
That would be amazing, crossing fingers
Are eastern bluebirds a possibility there? Iโm not familiar!
Ooof. So close. Sorry, that was my best suggestion
Oh this is lovely!!

Started a series! I want to print bookmarks or cards or something people would actually use or keepโฆ of native (upper-mid US) plants with a paired benefitting species and including printed info about them on the back
First one is wild strawberry & the grey hairstreak butterfly ๐ ๐ฆ
Four western bluebirds sit on a deck railing and feeder, the ground behind them is snowy and the trees still donโt have leaves.
The western bluebirds have arrived! They seem tired. ๐ชถ
A big reason Iโm digital now. Well, that and allergies.
I know the iPad and pencil are a heavy financial lift, though.
The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue

A tiny saw-whet owl perched on a horizontal branch of a coniferous tree, with a larger branch just above its head, creating a frame. It is in profile view, but has its head turned and is looking directly at me with its yellow eyes
Whenever I'm lucky enough to find a Northern Saw-whet Owl, they are usually sound asleep. This one was awake and active, looking around, especially straight down - something on the ground had its interest. #birds #birding #HamOnt #owl
Yes! Itโs rough out there! All supposed to melt off tomorrow of courseโฆ
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
Be well. ๐ธ
Humming bird migration dates.
The hummers are coming! Get your feeders cleaned and ready. ๐ฑ
A dilute calico cat curled into a ball in a tan blanket nest with a stuffed cheetah nestled carefully near her face.
The 5yo tells me he loves her, even though she still wonโt sit on his lap or let him pet her more than once or twice. #catSky

Hey, great news gang! Vinay Prasad is out at the FDA.
Again.
Letโs hope it sticks this time.
Sorry youโre sick!
Morning Emergency Kitten- tiny protests
Thanks. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Nope. Iโm pulling for one or the other, not both, at a minimum. The Universe owes me a solid, honestly.
Um. Update. Second window is showing stuff that is typically only lupus related. So now I have no idea whatโs going on. Hopefully will get a phone call this next week.
More affirming bloodwork, yay I suppose? Looks like autoimmune arthritis for sure.
