Not my best photo, but as its the first time I have photographed this little bird, I thought I'd share it with you.

This bird is a Chiffchaff. I have seen them before but never near enough to attempt a photo.

I spoke to three people from my High School class today. I must say...I'm aging marvelously. 😏

After a very long ordeal in trying to get my packages from the USPS, I finally got my Final Fantasy IX shirts! So happy with this.

This has worked well for climate scientists. 🙃

I heard this is Rep. Heather Scott, a state representative in Idaho. I also heard her husband threatened to sue the reporter and publication who printed it for printing it. I wonder if the internet will still have a copy of it in 100 years if we share it, and posing with a treason rag will be her legacy. #IDpol #uspol

This cloud-free view of Ireland, the Emerald Isle, was captured from space by our Aqua satellite back in 2010. Happy #StPatricksDay!

I have used “incarceration” to describe our time in the camps. Glad to be having this discussion. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/la-times-drops-word-internment-003214475.html

Today, a clown held a door opened for me.

I thought it was a nice jester.

Is there a word for “trapped under a snuggling cat, so currently unable to whatever it is I wanted to do”?

(It can also be under a puppy, or a sleeping baby, human or not).

¿Habrá alguna palabra para la experiencia de estar atrapada bajo un gato toñeco, sin poder hacer lo que uno iba a hacer?

(Podría ser también un perrito, un bebé dormido, o cualquier cachorro.)

“Toñeco” = mimoso #Venezonalismo #Venezuela

@Tilopa we all are, but I for one will never forget the actual vote count . No republican got the popular vote in this century (2004 was fixed as well)

The 2023 #Oscars were historic in many ways, but let's not forget that this is the first time that not one but two actors with hot dog fingers won acting #Oscars

If you say "both sides have a point" about LGBTQ issues then presumably you think the same about antisemitism and racism.

You're wrong.

Attacking someone, refusing to accept them, denying them agency in their own lives, is unacceptable. Always.

So stop.

In the 1950s, the belief was that all of these advances meant humans would have more leisure time.

Under capitalism, we now know that is false. It just means it’s harder and harder for humans to carve a niche where they can make a good living.

Quilting

I just got back from the local quilt show. My wife volunteered me to take pictures, she's the VP of the guild. At the house she's the Pres.

I know there are a few quilting enthusiasts on Mastodon, so here you go. Here's one of my wife's quilts, she and I are both retired soldiers so ...

Sure, commiting a Freudian slip is embarrassing, but I'll take it any day over a malapriapism.

#Today I’m on a serious roll. I finished my granddaughter’s Birthday cake, 3 layers with homemade chocolate icing (not the crap from the store) the inside is vanilla but colored it teal, all done by 9:30! Yay me. And no caffeine! Now for my #Friday workout and this afternoon cook a great Italian meal for my Gia. It’s a cold day 26deg F (-3 C) in the woodlands of #MO and not going to warm up much the whole wkd. Enjoy your TGIF.
I better get moving. Be kind always, it’s contagious.

Anti-LGBTQ Shapiro Host Performed In Gay Sex Scene - Joe.My.God. https://www.joemygod.com/2023/03/anti-lgbtq-shapiro-host-performed-in-gay-sex-scene/

One small step. This morning, had conversation w my 15yr old twin sons about trans kids at their school. I asked if they knew of them. We talked about how the trans community is under siege right now w propaganda. One son turned to me and said, “you don’t have to worry Mom, we are allies”, to which my other son agreed.

I do think small conversations like this can make a difference.

Uhhh Ohhh 😲

You might recall that Tuesday, I posted a photo of a sparrow who was staring me down. It looks like it's had enough😂. Is it just me or does this chipping sparrow look kind of tough.
