about a half-dozen crows were gathered in the woods behind our porch, calling at each other. I put peanuts out for them, and suddenly there were a half-dozen crows mobbing our porch--and then they all quietly dispersed, to break open and eat or cache their prizes. XD they can only carry max 2 peanuts in their beaks, though I've seen a few learn the trick of swallowing one first so they can get 3 in one trip.

Some people may feel a bit of a delayed reaction to the loss of Natalie today, or just be finding out, as tends to happen.

Don't forget to support others. ♥️

Depression 

One thing to remember:

Depression is real.

Whether it's "justified" or not, it is very real.

That is, whether the person who is affected by depression thinks they have cause to be justified or not... whether bystanders think they just need to go out hiking in the woods and "get over it" or not...

Your feelings are real.

Their feelings are real.

If someone ever tells you how they feel, BELIEVE THEM, even if you don't understand why they feel that way.

If you need to distract yourself for a little bit by just doing something "normal" for a while, Our Friend The Hexagon ( @HTHR ) is streaming some Flash games for a while.

You might know about lionfish. They're also called zebrafish (not to be confused with true zebrafish), firefish, turkeyfish, and butterfly cod, because apparently every fish is a kind of cod.

The lionfish aren't actually a species - they're a genus! They're so diverse that they've got multiple species under the Pterois genus. But they share characteristics: they have banded warning coloration, spiky fins, and venom that's distributed through their spines.

this hummingbird is *still* sitting in the tree outside my window singing. it's been doing this ALL DAY. hummingbird "singing" sounds like some kind of malfunctioning electronic device, btw--high-pitched random twittering, Morse code on about a billion pixie sticks.

I *think* we're at mixed rain and snow, now, darnit. there's still plenty of snow coming down, though, so... we'll see how it shakes out.
