also saw Lefty earlier, picking up its own peanuts. from the size, I *think* Lefty is male--he's on the larger size, and males are larger than females. Lefty's not part of the Gang of Three. I don't remember seeing him at all last spring or summer, so I don't know if he's a seasonal visitor or part of a local family.

yay, I just put out peanuts for my crow Gang of Three. two of them were working on the suet feeder earlier--one clinging to the support rod, the other standing on the porch railing and reaching up, by which I know the one on the rod is last season's "mom" and the one on the railing is one of last season's kids. I watched that one figuring out the "stand on the rail for suet" trick as it was growing up. :D

mh, elder care 

@noelle I worked in a nursing home for a while, in my very early twenties. it was grueling, emotionally wrenching work. *sends much empathy*

Black Friday 

Just a reminder that if you do feel the need to shop this weekend, try to do it somewhere local, and that you be good to the folks working today.

Local shops and their employees all over will really appreciate it! <3

a few minutes ago a swarm of little birds showed up on the porch, picking at the leaf/seed debris and suet. I had to use the bird book to identify them, since I'd never seen them on the porch before--it was a flock of pine siskins, at least twenty of them. neat!

@cute_weeds I tried that but two of the mods are conflicting and my gender keeps glitching out and crashing. :|

RP that includes the reader 

@lizardsquid oh!! oh no! okay, gosh! *carefully makes small nest for egg next to heater* I wouldn't want to swallow a poor baby lizard... *gently pats and cuddles egg*

Animal Crossing confession: meh 

since so many people on my TLs are burbling about Animal Crossing, I downloaded it on my phone and played with it a bit, but I have to admit I am deeply "meh" about it, and probably won't play more. part of the reason is that I'm deeply wary of the false engagement of timed tasks and time-degradation mechanics that can be countered with microtransactions.

A gentle reminder as we approach dinnertime on the US east coast that it's kind to CW food discussion and photos.

PSA, dog stress, addendum 

@kit I used to have a dog that, when she was happy/excited, would bare her teeth--while sticking her tongue out, ears forward, neck relaxed. she'd also make a whiffling sound. it wasn't usually in response to anything other than seeing a family member come home. some dogs do naturally "smile."

Looks like the gender has become the gendee... :thounking:
