I was watching for birds in the backyard marsh when suddenly Blue Jays called out a warning. A female Cooper's Hawk flew in and landed in the tree behind me. She didn't stay for long and flew off over the lake, joined shortly by a male Cooper's Hawk!

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

far from my usual artwork, i'm having a lot of emotions about being a transgender american and an ex catholic. we have always been here, and we will always be here. if you're interested in snagging a print, they're $5 and funds go to my fiance's top surgery. #transrights #linoprint #artistsonbsky
