A little rough around the edges, but I’m ok with that! 🪶🪶

Gold is like a living thing. I love the way it captures the light, moves, changes colour.

Fuck Harry Potter Go read the Simon Snow trilogy by Rainbow Rowell It's about the chosen one magic boy in wizard school, but the chosen one thing sucks so he gets gay with his vampire nemesis instead. It's kind of a spinoff of Rowell's book Fangirl

The dudes accusing women of "lying" about what they like are really telling on themselves more than anything else. Leaving aside the power fantasy/sex fantasy dichotomy, there's always the question of "so if they're lying, what's the reason and where's the proof? Surely there should be proof."

First of all how dare you. How dare you be so correct 😭

It’s nice to have a mirror for preening 🪶

Spring is almost here.

today’s plan

Happy Easter everyone

the most bespoke cozy authentic hidden secret thing you can do this weekend is cast a ballot

Look, I understand the urge to say "I'm autistic and I date and I pay taxes," but that's unintentionally just buying into his argument. We are not the autistic people he is talking about. Some autistic people CANNOT IN FACT do these things. They also deserve care, protection, and basic dignity.

Another try at a daff this evening.

Holy shit this is gorgeous!

you're gonna wanna see this

Heard some pine warblers yesterday, but the Great Warbleration of Spring is still out a week or two (or three 😑). Just me and blackbirds for now 🪶

Non-backlit kingfisher from yesterday (woot) 🪶

I finally got my photos from my trip onto my computer so here are some photos from the Aquarium of the Pacific I visited last week in LA. #Invertebrates

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.

Obviously fancied some detail this morning.

The relationship between the cookbook and the occult text feels woefully unexplored in serious attempts.

This little punk popped out of the forest to say hola! Collared Redstarts are energetic warblers that fan their high contrast tail to flush insects from vegetation and leaf litter. They are native to Central America in the mountains above 1,500 meters / 5,000 feet. San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica

Wishing you all a good night and some beauty in your day tomorrow #SkySky 🌿

I have never played a Donkey Kong game in my life but DK Bananza will be mine if I have to drop kick a middle schooler to get it.

Psyched for the Switch 2 but you KNOW someone got fired for that screw up.

A beautiful cold night for an owl survey. We picked up about half a dozen boreal owls, and one northern saw whet owl. I would call that a successful night. 🌿🪶

Been struggling to figure out the tech and magic mechanics in a story I'm writing when I remembered something my mixed reality professor said: Readers (and users) don't need to understand it, they just need to believe it.

All right. I'm off to the word mines. Keep looking up, fam.

Fair warning: I don't think much of April Fool's jokes at the best of times, but this year in particular, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD.

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things: you don't get to talk about it. you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story. it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

"why did you block x but not y" because x annoyed me today more than y did yesterday and that's all the reason I need, I cannot give you a cutoff point for blocking, I am not a government agency, I do not have regulations, I have humours

A beautiful installation shot sent to me, of my diptych, Heavens Embroidered Cloth, by a client in London, who’s drawing room looks very stylish

The fact is, if someone is trying to bash their way into your car, they are way, WAY more likely to be trying desperately to save your life than trying to harm you.

Who wants some good news? The overwintering monarch population, which had plummeted last winter, has doubled this winter! www.worldwildlife.org/stories/east...
