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

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!

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.

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

homelessness 

EMERGENCY: My timescale just shrank by several weeks. I may well be homeless by the end of the month. The situation is extremely desperate. I need any help you can give. If you have any resources that could help me find a place to stay, *please* contact me. I'm about to be out in the literal cold of Michigan in winter.

Your existence is revolutionary ✨✊🏽🔥🏳️‍🌈

I'm also infinitely amused that is the day before my own birthday. ^____^ (well the day and several years before, DW is almost a decade older than I am!)

oh yeah, it's ! I've been a DW fan since I was... 11-ish? I think? maybe younger, but I know by the time I got into junior high school I was obsessed enough to make DW stuff in craft classes (I made a ceramic TARDIS and--something in a sewing class, maybe a pillow, with "I <3 DW" on it) and badger my parent into taking me to local conventions.

I still <3 DW, Moffat hasn't ruined it for me, though he did put me off it for a while. new female Doctor incoming! :D

Happy #Transgiving! Consider supporting a trans creator on our Transgiving list at github.com/Transgiving/Transgi - and if you're a trans creator (especially if you're a trans POC), add yourself to the list! <3

An affirmation for those of you headed home to doubters, skeptics, and concern trolls:
Your identity is not rooted in their belief, but in yours. Your identity is valid because you say it is. Whether you pass in your chosen life is immaterial to its truth. You are who and what you say you are. That you don't, and perhaps can't, embody your inner self is not evidence against its reality. I see you.

What if a vampire created Welcome mats as a loophole to get into homes without being invited. #Showerthoughts
