Black and white art. a bunch of small birds noisily chasing after a big eagle which is rushing away from them down towards the bottom of the page. This is bird mobbing: the behavior where small prey Birds en masse attack a predator like a hawk or an eagle. By rushing at the predator making lots of noise they can often scare the predator away and occasionally kill it. see the link in the next post. The link above is to the artist's shop if you want to buy a print of this art.

Unsurprisingly, I’ve had ‘em both for a while here, but I love observing the bsky wave of spring firsts as a personalized real-time remote experience of the latitudinal tide of springtime’s joys.
A goofy little found object still life with a bottle of empty vampire blood drizzled over a rock with a plastic bird skull next to it in front of some pink and blue graffiti
Imagine my cackle of delight when I found the plastic bird skull 10 yards from the blood bottle
My health is not healthing and I feel like shit, so I was in dire need of something cute.

What a magical ride this story is.
the weather is warming up so i want to share a nice resource for people in the US who want to get into gardening! there is a program called Free Heirloom Seeds aimed to promote sustainability that will mail you vegetable and flower seeds by request (5 packets w/o donation, more with donation)
Late-night ibuprofen and jug wine.
Same. Sitka is magical, even though I only saw it during a work trip. I may not be a SEAK local anymore, but I’ll return sometime to take a nice, slow milk run.
Can concur.
This is a very powerful place. Even if things are not being gentle with me right now, I'm happy that I'm here, and it feels like I'll be ready for whatever happens next.
A few days ago I lay down in the arroyo and fell asleep on the warm silt, and dreamed I was seeping into the earth and expanding outward, as if I were part of the seasonal river itself, but also living roots questing deep into the subterranean waters. I woke up feeling surprised that I woke up.
I returned to the high desert to process grief, revisit crossroads, and perhaps metamorphosize once again, and for some reason it's REALLY taking it out of me this time. Since I got here I keep thinking "I just gotta make it through the next week," and then new weeks keep just cropping up.
I had pre-liked the post that you have shared with me, but I like it even more now that I know you thought of me ✨
haha zzzzzzzz
hahaha clopening AND spring forward 🖕
Huh! I could swear ours was octagonal.
A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

Rivers are living beings.
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
*me writing my HS book report* The sensibilities-challenging plot device is an allegory for uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … ummm … making friends with wild bears. I think.
TO BE FAIR, this is the same establishment where, in recent history, literal guns have been drawn over this (and other) shiz, so I am justifiably concerned about escalation. And yeah, sometimes I do wake up wondering why I’m working there, but maybe it’s for moments like today’s.
Today at the convenience store I ran into a lady I’d met while bartending, and she was like, “You cut me off last week!” I was ready for a confrontation, but her tone changed and she hugged me. “It was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.”
Today’s unexpected validation & gratification 🍻

I know the feeling, friend. I look forward to hearing about the adventure that grows your family with a new critter.
