if you're Nazi and you're fired it's your fault *clap clap*
if you're Nazi and you're fired it's your fault *clap clap*
you were spotted in the mob, and now you've lost your fuckin' job,
you're a Nazi who got fired, it's your fault *clap clap*

heard the crows giving the asshole alert, and hurried to a window in time to see a coyote trot across the field and slip into the bushes. I'm glad the coyotes are back. I'm looking forward to hearing the yipyowls this autumn as they work out whose territory this is going to be.

it sounds like there's a four-way contest out there to see who can be the loudest between a cooper's hawk fledgling, squirrel, flicker, and crow. EVERYBODY IS SCREAMING

@mxsparks this is startlingly accurate. :D

I strongly believe that what we're seeing is an extinction burst. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_(psychology)#Burst on some level they know they're wrong, that the thought processes they've depended on for years are wrong, that the society they've built around those concepts is fading away. this is the defiant lashing-out of people who know they're collectively circling the drain.

@vahnj @literorrery plllllllllaces.

@Jacel *snooooooorrrrrt* ow ow I think I prolapsed my sinuses

:P

just discovered the webcomic falseknees.com and I am enjoying it muchly, yes

today I fed a baby squirrel (when I told Spouse that he asked "to what?" and I had to swat him) and incidentally terrorized two batches of seagulls, four mallards, and a pigeon while trying to teach myself how to clean their enclosures.

I also encountered a wild @Jacel but I'm pretty sure I didn't terrorize them at all (though I did do some light gnawing).

currently I am tired, a bit too warm to be comfortable, drinking peppermint tea, and tired.

@adeptomega @literorrery YES. YES THIS WAS MY THOUGHT IMMEDIATELY TOO. YESSSSSSS I am exactly the target audience for this idea. :D

@mawr much luck, much empathy, and long-distance grrrring at your sister. :|

going to volunteering today. not entirely sure I *should*; my digestive system is percolating unpleasantly. :| wish me luck...
