Update: Have already seen one purple finch using the feeder, two sparrows checking it out, and a thrush of some flavor sampling the suet.

I thought it was supposed to take a week for them to find new feeders?

Afternoon project done!

Wake up, go to get breakfast, discover that two Stellars Jays are waiting for signs of human activity, staring at the back porch.

Okay, fair, toss out a peanut for each of them. They grab them, fly off, and less than a minute later they're back and looking expectantly at the door.

That's not enough time for them to actually eat a peanut. So I wait and sure enough, they fly off again and I hear the noises of peanuts being disassembled in the tree outside.

Nice try, guys.

I think I just saw a crow fly by with a full-sized Snickers bar in its beak. Unwrapped.

Feeling pretty outclassed here with my peanuts.

mh still not great 

Weeded the shit out of the front yard after I got back home. From hell's heart I stab at thee with a $30 weeding tool, dandelions. Later when I have things planted this will be important, right now it's just a dry run.

You know that thing about how "working on something will make you feel better" - It's not actually true.

Therapy this morning got into gender, sex, dysphoria, passing, surgery, safety in this current political climate, and more.

This may have something to do with why I'm feeling tired and also terrible. Would like to go to sleep and wake up in the right body please.

Starting to consider a masto account for an NPC my group hasn't even met yet. Not sure what instance to use though...

Friday? Sorry, you're taking a three day weekend. Kobolds' orders. Yes, that apostrophe is in the right place.

I'm not sure how many kobolds it will take to carry you out of the office on your rolling desk chair but we'll figure it out.

Casual speciesism (+) 

"You're just a cosplay snake. All scalies are the same right?"
"So I can call you a mola-mola capybara then."
"That's totally different. But now I kinda want to get someone to draw that."

It's hot enough outside that all the crows are panting.

Hatchday is coming up and I'm torn between wanting to do a thing for it and just taking the day off.

Outside today: three way hummingbird territoral fight. With occasional pauses to attack the jays that are coming down for peanuts

Star Raiders is so, so bad. And the film Rifftrax found to put ahead of it is even worse. Wow.

Someone regarded me with suspicion and then decided the offering was acceptable.

If you’re cold, they’re cold.

So I managed to trigger a partial flashback on the way home today. How, I have no idea. Maybe it was just a random one, I'm not sure.

I've had a lot of practice dealing with these over the years, so the good news is that I'm only clocking in at "emotionally shaky" and not "absolutely devastated". Bad news of course it's that these are still just kinda happening...
