I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

the cool thing about student loan payments restarting is that I can't afford them

now I'm grumpy because I've remembered Bishop Barron didn't like the newest Star Wars trilogy because the lead was a girl

also I don't like that it's normal for both boys and girls to like books and media with male protagonists but it's weird and bad when boys like stuff with female protagonists

even when I was in elementary school, I clearly remember teachers consistently telling the girls we had to be role models for the boys and set a good example for them and tolerate their bad behaviors

on the bright side, it's never been easier to give your kids a competitive advantage in the world. just read to them at night and don't give them a smartphone until they're 13 and they'll basically be superhuman

Say it with me: Disabled people deserve to live even if they can’t work.

toddler has a book of saints (it was mine, from the 90s) that includes a picture of Maria Goretti, who looks much more like Lauren Bacall than her actual photographs

this has gotta be a joke...right

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

I see a lot of people talking about whether we should deport or not but not enough people talking about immigration reform

Luminous angel babby from my collection, ca. 1960s.

anyways I'm sick AGAIN thanks to the baby insisting on kissing me on the mouth multiple times a day (which is very sweet and I regret nothing)

happy meat friday to those who celebrate

I don't know this guy but I am pro-"having kids in political spaces." maybe it will help some politicians prioritize the real, important things.

I knew to expect a lot of weird things with a toddler, but "needs to listen to Bye Bye Bye on repeat to fall asleep sometimes" was not one of them

Another nice Costa Rican hummingbird, the tiny Violet-headed Hummingbird. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #birds #hummingbirds #nature

husband has a week and a half of internship left, just have to survive until next Friday and then we can all relax a little for a few months

Gorgeous photo from The Color Nature Library: CATS by Peggy Wratten, 1977. I can't find the photographer's name, unfortunately. None is noted anywhere in the book.

autism is not a disease, thanks!

them: do you remember what happens in this book ? me: nope them: and it’s one of your all time favorites ? me: yep

first millennial saint followed closely by first millennial pope

A Great Horned Owl leaves her increasingly cramped nest located in the hollow of a tree. #wildlife #birds #owls

annoyed that the news is already pitting Francis against JPII and Benedict though

maybe Pope Francis' intercession will grant a miraculous conversion of heart to the president and vice president

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Pope Francis. A beacon of love, compassion, and hope leaves a lasting legacy. May his spirit guide us towards kindness and peace. #PopeFrancis #RIP

C. S. Lewis, full name Christian Symbolism Lewis,

one good thing about tariffs: I am even more motivated to buy secondhand

It's rare to find a Great Horned Owl sitting on the ground (at least it is for me). In this case, it's because he was sitting on a muskrat, let's say to keep him warm (actual events may vary). #wildlife #birds #owls

when dresses still do not have pockets in the year of our Lord 2025 😒

Millennial office culture is comparing which antidepressants you and your coworkers are on

girls only want one thing and it’s A SWORD WITH WHICH TO SLAY THE WITCH-KING OF ANGMAR

@ God can you please turn the wind down
