And just like that… they’re gone. I watched yesterday morning as each little baby left the nest box, one by one. I’ll admit, I got a bit emotional about it. Watching them hatch, grow, and finally fly away was really special.

Baby birds, part 2: a mama Junco decided to build a little nest of her own in the grass near our front door. Too bad we don’t have a camera on this one! #NestingSeason #DarkEyedJunco #BabyBirds #BirdSky

They grow up so fast… babies are stretching their little wings, screaming loudly, and getting ready to break out on their own. 🪺 #BabyBirdSeason #BlackCappedChickadee #Fledglings #BirdSky

Mama has been doing great with her six lil babies, which all hatched just under a week ago! 🪺 #BabyBirdSeason #BlackCappedChickadee #Nestlings #BirdSky

Trump is celebrating police week, but pardoned all the January 6th rioters that attacked Capitol Police officers

My regular, weekly grocery trip is costing me $30 more this week than usual. #winning /s

OKAY GOOD THANK YOU #GoAvsGo #Game7

The streaming feed for the #ColoradoAvalanche game glitched out a few times and @burgundyblue.bsky.social and I both about fainted. I’m going to need a stiff drink or a Xanax pretty soon. #GoAvsGo

Sorry #AvsFans, Penny’s bandana has apparently lost its luck. It’s banned for the remainder of the series 😭 #GoAvsGo

👏👏👏

Woke up to eggs in the nest today! #BabyBirdSeason #BlackCappedChickadee #BirdSky

Game 1: Penny wears her bandana and the Avs win. Games 2 & 3: No bandana, Avs lose. Don’t worry guys, we made sure to put it on tonight. #GoAvsGo #ColoradoAvalanche

THE NORSE GOD OF HOCKEY!!!!

Oh Captain, my Captain! #GoAvsGo

The babies are coming. #BirdSky @birdfybynetvue.bsky.social

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

Sign of the day…

Credit to @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social who broke this NLRB/ DOGE story in the first place. Remarkable reporting. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Oh, we know it was a blatant move to keep Van Hollen out. So much for international diplomacy

The people desperate to yell, “See?! Kilmar Abrego Garcia *is* a criminal!!” are so off base. Our government shouldn’t be sending ANYONE to prison without due process (let alone sending them out of the country to a place they can be tortured and disappeared.) I don’t give a fuck who they are!!

If you hate autistic people, I hate you. If you hate trans people, I hate you. If you hate immigrants, I hate you.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

April 13, 2025: first sunburn of the year 😑 #PNW

The chickadees are finally checking out the new nest box. Hoping I can get some of the wonky connection issues sorted before nesting starts 🤞 #birdsky

About that tax break …

Finding the small bits of joy where I can.

So let me make sure I’m understanding this: tariffs announced, stocks take a nosedive for four days… then we reverse the decision and stocks come back up… so what, we essentially created a Black-Friday-like sale for the wealthy to swoop in and buy up investments while ruining our retirement savings?

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

Most birds have a fight or flight response. He forgot we’re flightless birds.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Joke’s on you, I’m not stressed about the stock market crashing because I don’t have a retirement fund anyway!

This exchange with @burgundyblue.bsky.social: Him: “You’ve been sitting awhile, so you needed to get up and do something?” Me: “I could have gotten more done.” Him: “… Schindler’s Checklist?”

It won’t be soon enough, but someday. #StitchTheResistance #CrossStitch #ArtIsRadical #NotSoonEnough

So we’re turning the management of special needs accommodations to a guy who said… *checks notes* vaccines cause autism, that kids with ADHD need “re-parenting” instead of medication, and thinks people with mental health and addiction challenges should go to “healing farms?” Cool, cool cool cool.

We’ve let this go on long enough.

Excited to start this project… maybe a little too excited. #StitchTheResistance #MoreComingSoon #ArtIsRadical

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Happy ides of march! Today it is tradition to give the gift of stabbing to would-be dictators 🫶🏻

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.
