It was pretty amazing. The sheathbills were frequently absolutely filthy though.

I kind of wondered what Spotify would say about my listening history.
Who else was too weird for Spotify to figure out? (I listened to Spotify while I was traveling, I listen to albums I’ve bought mostly directly from the artist if possible at home.) (Also I’m 58 but apparently incredibly immature)

BUT! This homunculus has a peen! A teeny peen! What if you don't have a peen? Well, science has finally thought about that, and there's a paper that I can't access because MIT hates me. I assume the butt-side is the same regardless of gender assigned at birth.

For instance, the nerves for your hands are dispersed over a large area of your brain and the nerves for your arms are dispersed over a much small area, so that's why the little guy has giant hands and string bean arms.

I just learned about the motor cortex homunculi so now you have to TOO. It's the ratio of motor and sensory innervation of the various body parts. And if it was a little guy, it would look like this.

Found some time-lapse video of me painting an ungodly number of little blue flowers at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social - the only way I get through tedious things like this is because I love my friends there and they are infinitely entertaining while I work.

I walked past this mural recently and I wonder if anyone pointed out that it looks like this guy is farting butterflies BEFORE they started painting it on the building.

Because crows have eyes on the side of their heads, they see different things at the same time. Generally they use the same eye to see things close up, like food, and the other eye to scan for predators. So I am still getting the “possible threat” eye from them, even though they seem to trust me.

I was homesick while I was gone, and kept looking at old photos of familiar places like this intersection near my studio. I love how much of the past Portland hung on to. I can walk outside my workplace at lunch and almost see back through time in little ways.

More dispatches from war-torn Portland. My elderly father called and said “the tv news says you’re setting fire to an ice rink?” (I told him nothing is actually happening and to get off Fox)
