Amazing agility.

Look at this northern cardinal. Despite being in the center of a thick tight tangle of branches it moves with relative ease. Any acrobat would be envious. The bird is making its way to one of my bird feeders. In this photo, I'm not sure whether he's flying to his next perch or simply jumping. I suppose it's probably a combination of both, because he will need to right himself from the dive. Don't you think so?

"The female cardinal sings duets with her mate during courtship and while she's on the nest. During that time, her singing tells her mate when to bring food β€” and also when to stay away. This warning keeps the more conspicuous male's visits to a minimum, lest his flashy color expose the nest to predators." - abcbirds.org

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.

Deadly allergic to bees, since I was a toddler (first trip to the ER - hooray?) and I carry an epi-pen at all times.
But as an adult I've learned that they don't want to die any more than I do, and they're happy to let me do my thing, as long as I let them do their thing. Interesting to watch, and I keep flowering plants and a fountain in the backyard, so I can watch them more.

I may be too firmly grounded in the space-time continuum to park here.

I feel cheated. My "human sexuality" class was just an afternoon of slides, in the gymnasium.

Probably not as rough a time as the students he ignored when they told him the PE doctor was molesting them, though, so I'm all right with this.

The thing is that corrupt people think other people are just as corrupt. They’re angry and confused when they don’t find the criminality they’ve been screeching about.

Alright, I’m a sucker for water. Here’s Lake Arbutus in Traverse City, MI. Pretty much the same spot, noon and night.
