Ah!! I was nb on 26th a couple hours ago and was confused by someone who alllllmost rolled through the stop sign but didn't, but seemed confused just like the vehicle ahead of them had been. Makes more sense if it's new.

I just laughed so much at this. I trained myself to think of "e.g." as "for eggsample" and "i.e." as "in ether words..." And "et al" as "and Al(bert)"

Tell me more. How do I find them? What am I looking for? Do they wash up on shore?

I'll never not be mad at my past self for not being a birder yet when I visited CR...

Pike Place Market With Cars is in that magical middle of the Venn diagram titled "Where I, a new resident with small children, was THE MOST FREAKED OUT while driving and/or walking"

It really is!! Like a clown car of snail.

This is a delightful and worthy tribute to our slimy sovereign!

Thank you!!

Have they announced a location for next year yet? Hoping to attend but have to plan now and it was not settled when I inquired a few weeks ago.

Going outside is my favorite way to deal with it, no matter what it is.

Has she read, "I Feel Teal"? My 6yo's favorite library book at the moment...

Either way, they're brewing something

Realism is my passion, Tommy. And birds.

This calendar has become an annual gift to me from my spouse. It hangs by the front door and brings joy to all who gaze upon the supple limbs of each month's featured bird. There's a large sealed envelope in our closet right now and I know the 2026 calendar awaits.

Same. I keep saying I'm done after this batter but now I think I'm too tired to get up and go to bed.

Maybe just the angle of perspective, but.. do they prefer particular orientations in the water or certain limbs for different actions? Like right or left handedness, but five ways?

Never too young to join an aquatic coven! My 6yo daughter wants to join her grandma's, too 🧙
