René, a Pacific Wren!

I’m just a silly goofy bird incidentally validating the climbing and D&D polyamory stereotypes. Portland-ish.

Thoughts about nature, conservation, photography, product design, urban affairs, and failure will follow.

This is really gonna fuck up the polycule
Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches
Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

A queer person said my fit was great today. Mission accomplished.

Great, now I want to write an essay rebuttal because my brain Did Not Like That Thought and needs to process it.
polyamory is just relationship capitalism where partners compete in the free market

Yet another issue I process in therapy circles back to my father and childhood. So, thanks, parents.

I’ve been told my casual aesthetic has become “Portland beatnik” and I couldn’t be happier with the descriptor.

Had to nope out of a blood draw for the first time today. That was… not a good time, yeah. It used to be a 50/50 chance I reacted poorly, but in recent years it’s been more like 90/10.

Oh, yes, for sure, he can have Florida and Utah.

It feels surreal but the time has come that my selection of gins is depleted and I will have to buy more gin for the first time in like three years.

Sorry… I just love these guys… so much…
A Bewick’s Wren may be tiny, but he has a BIG voice! 🎶 As a young male, he stays close to his parents, listening and learning. He makes a few subtle tweaks to his father’s song and, by the time he’s 30 to 60 days old, he’s crafted his own unique melody—one he’ll sing for the rest of his life.

Probably one of my favorite wren shots I’ve taken to-date. I just love these spunky little bird fwrends.

Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing U.S. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. And there may be no relief in sight.

Every day I’m saying “what the fuck” a little louder than previously.

Thanks to my great massage therapist, my rotator cuff injury has fully healed—I was finally able to do an overhead press without immediately flagging in pain.

I told my yoga teacher this morning, “I’m running on three hours of sleep and the dredges of day old coffee, but I’m ready to breathe hard and fight god.”

Now it’s time for a chicken fried steak treat.

Probably the greatest gift my partner’s ex gave us was the notion to chop a cold slice and scramble with eggs and seasonings of choice. Thus: Pizza hash.

The dysfunction of the current administration would have me rolling on the floor with laughter were I not lacking the air in my lungs to laugh.
