Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

I've been staring at this picture for a few days (using my old work as reference for new work) (how did I do that thing?) (lol)
Anyway you can stare at it for a bit now, also.

On LinkedIn someone said that asking ppl to talk about COVID in the present tense is pedantic. I disagree. It was Charles Sepulveda, who reminded me that when ppl talk about Indigenous people it is often use past tense, and he said that was so harmful for indigenous people. Language is essential

This is my yearly PSA that, no matter how old you are, you should have a basic health directive and will. The forms are free online in California. The number of senior citizens in my neighborhood with no directives and no plan who are already a little off the rails is staggering. A short rant 1/

These Teeth That Gnash, 2022

Some days it feels like the tension that i hold stretches beyond my form, pushing outward in wild, graceful arcs.

My body feels so small to hold such large emotions inside of it.

My brain’s not well at all today-depression, but I made this photo to try to lift my dark thoughts & have hidden a tiny owl in it. If you find it &/or your brain likes this image maybe let me know below? Connecting with other humans is another way to lift very low mood 🌿

By getting comfortable around humans (hello, garbage buffet), city raccoons may be on the path toward domestication … and community science helped prove it. 🦝
