wildlife rehab: baby bird feeding (training edition) 

I got to hand-feed a couple of juncos and robin fledglings, I learned about crops, and I skipped the paperwork and t-shirt session at the end because done that, got one. :D all the raccoons and bear cubs have been released, btw, and the bobkittens are scheduled for release Friday! right now they've got a couple of short-tailed weasels which I will probably never get to glimpse. XD

wildlife rehab: baby bird feeding (training edition) 

CW covers the context! feeding baby birds looks like it's going to be particularly interesting and satisfying for me, though we'll see how I feel about it after a couple of months--I expect I'll be happy to get back to the variety of tasks upstairs once August rolls around. we have a couple of "mystery jellybeans" in the nursery that are "probably crows," though nobody knows for sure, but they're *big*--6" long?--and *hungry*. XD

We're at a "dinosaur gallery" and I would unironically hang this in my room tbh

#WINSday 

overcame an unruly digestive system to go to Costco and pick up a Rx they'd been bugging me about, as well as a couple of things off the list. also got my chorethings for the day done!

US Politics, Net Neutrality (+++) 

The Senate passed the Congressional Review Act to reverse the FCC's repeal of net neutrality under Ajit Pai. :D

discourse ™ and fandom thoughts 

so I found this where someone else put it and I have Thoughts

mostly that while capitalism commodifies it because it commodifies EVERYTHING, storytelling has been a massive part of human cultures since we invented stories

it's been a huge part of how we understand and contextualize the world and a huge part of how we entertain ourselves for a very long time

food, fruit 

I am about to tragically overindulge in strawberries

remember me fondly

"its algorithm will mute certain users so their tweets fall behind a “see more replies” link and their content will no longer be searchable. Del Harvey, vice president of trust and safety at Twitter, said to Slate that the primary factors will be how many complaints, blocks, and mutes an account receives"

nope, no way that will be weaponized against women, POC, queer folx....

no way at all

Friends, as we head into #Ramadan, please take special care to CW your posts about #food. Your observant Muslim community-mates will be fasting between sunrise and sunset, and using a CW will make life a little easier for them.

AND NOW an nb, furry, marine biology joke. 

“cetacean chicks are flat chested and I can’t tell them from the guys! You lied to me!”
“I said they had huge melons.”

hmph... it's a nice day weather-wise, I really should go out and enjoy it, even if I don't have a particular reason to do so. maybe grab a couple of things from Costco. yeah... I'ma do this.

experimental foodthing (mammal meat) 

I only got 1 lb of water buffalo, though, so the other lb is regular cow beef, so it'll be a mix. the water buffalo had an--interesting smell; Spouse thought it was really strong, but this is his first time prepping mammal meat since his surgery, and it didn't seem particularly strong to me, just--different. I'm looking forward to it!

tonight's dinner is fish and rice--basic, it's about all we have energy or appetite for...

Inquiring about Piracy Resources 

If you have a good torrent sites where I could acquire shows like Steven Universe in HD, I'd appreciate a link! ♥️

(I buy the show on Amazon but their DRM is awful and I like to have local options available. ^^)
