fishtopher tuesday where fishtopher politely requests you donate what you are able (time, money, support) to your favorite animal rescues
Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, lays on a white floral comforter. He faces the right and looks relaxed but alert.

Happy grouchy #Caturday to all.
A very large orange cat is seated on a hardwood floor, his back to the viewer. His head is turned to the side, and his expression, in profile, is indeed a bit grumpy.

Public Transit has a marketing problem in Canada. Not to customers (who love it) but to senior governments (who are apparently not even aware it exists). May I propose:

"Transit. It's like a pipeline, but for people!"

Been working on my project proposal on income reduction for tertiary mental health patients for a year now, and what ppl get wrong is the cause-&-effect relationship between poor folks & financial literacy.

Poor people don't have financial literacy skills because they NEED MONEY TO PRACTISE THEM.

I do not know why my "sleepwalkers mysteriously walk across a violent, divided America during an unfolding pandemic being investigated by a rogue government-built AI" novel WANDERERS is a buck-ninety-nine for your electromagnetic book reader of choice, but it is, so go enjoy an on-sale apocalypse?

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

A unique look at the Pilgrimage of Grace. I listened to the audiobook. Highly recommend.
