How do I get my insanely xylophagic weird cats to stop eating all the Christmas presents?!

I have a fairly brief recording from one of my pine barren wanderings in the middle of the night that I swear I didn't set up, but it has a woodcock flight song, yellowthroat flight song, and ovenbird flight song all in the same recording. (Plus a bunch of coyotes howling, but that's normal.)

all the stuff I ordered for work *yesterday* arrived today as if I need it right now, while half the stuff I ordered a week+ ago for Christmas with a delivery date “arrives before Christmas” has yet to arrive

remembering that time when we lived with tree frogs that would start chorusing in the middle of the night. #frogs #pacificchorusfrog #cute

the number of times I've been asked to somehow produce a video with almost no media to work with has is getting a little ridiculous, I'm out of ideas.

I have such bad laryngitis that I have no way to call my doctor's office before they close for the holidays to order refills of the meds that are "too spooky" to be able to refill online thanks to octogenarian lawmakers who know nothing about pharmacology and are too proud to try anything I take

The hummingbird clearwing video reminded me that that’s what people think tomato/tobacco hornworms turn into.
They don’t. They turn into weird and beautiful hawkmoths. They’re fluffy and have big eyes. If you’re a gardener, I recommend buying a hamper.
These are Manduca sexta.

My Louisianan friend sent me a crawfish Santa Claws ornament and it is the most brilliant interpretation of St Nicholas I’ve ever witnessed. Look at this thing!!!

if I've been out of contact for 2 years, maybe more, it's not because of you. I'm afraid of people, I've adopted the most anti-social hobby, and I'm so near-sighted that I need to be far-sighted in order to see anything now and simple tasks of reading and writing are just such a pain and I'm lazy

I guess I've already reached that age where I need to write in "deceased" over like half my card list.

ok I'm managing to do cards after all, last minute. if my handwriting is extra bad this year it's because my hands are freezing all the time and everything hurts.

if no one gets a card from me this year it's because I'm depressed and forgot to do them

I don’t know what’s to become of my hit show about a garden. I can’t bring myself to do the talky bits anymore and that was kind of the whole point.
I’m better at not talking.
I just uploaded my hummingbird clearwing moth, many months late, no narration. it will have to do! #moths #gardensky

i left higher ed for a host of reasons, and the looming threat of mass shooters was certainly on the list. The current glass walls trend no one asked for really doesn’t help matters.

I learned how to take a photo but I don’t understand how to zoom in without it deciding to take a video instead.
