Scooter the parrot likes the unsalted nuts we keep in the cupboard, especially when we just open the lid and let her pick her own. She's learned that we close the jar and put it back in the cupboard as soon as she takes her head out of the jar. No problem, she doesn't take her head out.

Guess I need to toot an #introduction, since that's just good manners here ;)
I'm an ex-single mother ("ex", bc my children are grown up), exhausted mainly bc of it, chronic pain and life i.g. That's why I love to read jokes and good news here and see beautiful things. If I'm having a good day, I even MAKE beautiful things, mainly #paintings π Painting has turned out to be a necessary part of my life and my well-being. Also, I love animals, #gardening, #photograhy and I became vegetarian π
Oh, I just saw many people here are posting squirrels because it's Squirrel Appreciation Day.
This little guy here is a bit shy, but he came out of his hiding place to say "Hallo" and he appreciates being appreciated π

If petting dogs lowers your blood pressure, and a weighted blanket calms and soothes, I should be about the most chill human on the planet right now. #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #chill #NapTime
#Google could give EACH of the 12,000 employees it just laid off a $1,000,000 severance and still have $5 BILLION in profits left over from its last quarter alone (Q4 profits were $17B)
Instead, they just dumped 12,000 people onto the job market, which affects everyone, in a society in which such things as healthcare rely on employment.
When are we going to stop giving corporations that leech off us a free pass on civic responsibility?

Excuse me but I found a beaver dam earlier and it made my day. Possibly my week. Or month. Weβll see.
Can anyone send me a link for a penguin-to-inches conversion calculator?
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
