Hi! I enjoy hiking, birding, reading, and playing video games. I live with my three cockatiels and husband in Maryland.

IT’S A THING!

You get cremated, they mix your ashes with the eco-crete, attach a plaque, and take it out sea.

Honestly, as gimmick burials go, I kinda love this.

I rearranged some toys in the bird room today, and they are pleased.

Three cockatiels in the picture, two male normal greys and one male pied. There are several large toys, one is white and spherical and one is a flat circle made of thin wooden strips.

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Great to be on Whenua Hou last week, helping attach GPS tags to #kakapo ahead of the breeding season. We caught up with Rakiura - whom we're hoping will use the same nest for the 7th time. That's unusual - kākāpō normally don't re-use nests. #conservation #parrots

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

🌌 Keep your eyes on the sky (or your feed)! Strong to severe geomagnetic storms are expected tonight & Wed. Tonight’s show should stay north of DC region -- maybe a glimmer on camera. Wed could deliver northern lights you can see with naked eye if timing’s right. 🤞✨

Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The comet C/2025 A6 (LEMMON) grew more prominent in the morning skies as the Moon's phase waned and its tail brightened. Here is a series of photos showing this modest comet's tail emerging as the skies darkened. The comet was not visible to my eyes.
This is a series of photos made of the modest comet C/2025 A6 (LEMMON) as the skies darkened each morning earlier this month. It is barely bright enough to see visually under ideal conditions, especially in more Northerly latitudes, but it is a rewarding object to observe and photograph through telescopes. These photos, cropped from a series of photos made with a 50mm fast lens from Joshua Tree, California, give an idea of how fainter things in the sky show up as the background sky brightness, usually due to city lights, is reduced.
