crowburbles
I put out peanuts, and while I was out there two members of the Gang of Three chased away an interloper. that's the first time I've seen them do that during a peanut payout. as the GoT was gathering nuts, another crow (not sure if the same one they chased off earlier) tried to snag a nut and was chased away again. I suspect they're getting more territorial about food stations as nesting season approaches. it's neat to see their behavior change!

crowsquee
Spouse spotted and alerted me to the Gang of Three (nearby mated pair and their last offspring from last season) hanging out by the back porch. all three of them were sitting together on a branch, and Spouse said they'd all been preening each other. I was so ensqueed by this I immediately set out peanuts, which they aren't taking as quickly as usual--possibly because it's raining, possibly they aren't as hungry, or ????crowreasons????
I keep thinking about this article.

Congress yesterday: "Trump won't fire Mueller. It would be incredibly stupid."
Congress this morning: "Trump won't fire Mueller, we're sure of it."
Congress this afternoon: "We are begging the president not to fire the special counsel."
hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users
it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically
trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here

one thing i like about being an admin on Masto is knowing that I'm not doing free shit for a companies profit
like, it's one of the most frustrating things as a reddit mod, bc the site ultimately couldn't run without us and yet we make no money and get no respect. Facebook groups are the same way, as well as a number of other social networking sites
