A hearty and happy #ThrasherThursday to all! This curve-billed thrasher was checking out a cholla cactus yesterday in Santa Fe, New Mexico. #birds #SantaFe #NewMexico

A larger and mostly gray bird with a long and gently curved beak is perched on a spiny cactus with new growth at the top. The bird has a bright yellow-orange eye.

I finished Everything is Tuberculosis today. Absolutely wonderful book. Fascinating, beautiful, and empathetic.

I can't resist $1 books. I went one round when they opened the book sale and then another round when we walked back through it after brunch. Whoops.

People line up before library book sales start here. Beautiful to see it! The Corrales Library Book Sale is pretty awesome!

With all the smog in the air, today was a great day to enjoy a book and a cocktail indoors with Silent Book Club!

I don't normally have much luck spotting porcupines in the bosque once the leaves come back, but I had perfect timing last night!

I can't tell if I'm tired, dehydrated, overstimulated, or just alive in 2025.

Stopped to say hi to the colony on Tramway. They were not particularly pleased to see me.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
