Dork. Except when too busy being a doofus. Also, sometimes I go outside and pay attention to things.

Every time I see PeeWee German's cruel face, I think of this story. How broken do you have to be to have grandparents who fled persecution to immigrate to the U.S. and still have the self-righteous arrogance to support, encourage, and enable a government to do the same to others?

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: I searched and searched for the blue jay I could hear in the sugarberry tree, but #FirstBirdOfMyDay still ended up being a Northern cardinal.

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: Northern cardinals gathered in the loose flock they'll adopt for the winter, waiting by the bird feeders for their breakfast.

Hmm ... I wonder what was up yesterday with usual first birds taking a day off? 🤔
dauphne.bsky.social
Yes, and then I get used to them and wonder what happened when they're no longer first. 😁

They must be baking in that sun, because I'm 🥵 in the shade.

My cardinal/starling streak was broken today, too.

I understand they'd most likely, eventually, beat any legal action, but don't make this easy for them, @uhaul.bsky.social and Budget!

Our next-door neighbor cut his hedge to the ground a year ago ‐‐ it had been a house sparrow haven. Many of them have moved to our house now and spend their winters in our mishmash of shrubs and bushes, sharing space with cardinals, chickadees and winter migrants. I ❤️ it.

🤷‍♀️ We have no native starlings in North America. They (along with house sparrows) are considered invasive here, but I have a soft spot for all birds. Immigrants are welcome at my house. 😉

Appreciating and enjoying art is a good rest/reset – for brain and spirit – from the daily terror of living in this 2025 timeline. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, I recommend.

Cool ice sculpture at the member preview of the Architects of Being exhibit at AMFA.
Ice sculpture. The good ice, not the Gestapo ice.
