duck tales (wildlife, ducklings, some attrition involved)
of the two mallard duck moms (duqueens?) who've been raising ducklings in the nearby pond, one has ended up with five, the other with one. this morning I saw the singlet mom... with no duckling. "aw, she lost her last duckling," I thought.
then I saw the mom-of-five with... six ducklings. one of which is slightly *larger* than the others. .... oookay then. XD

thought this was important enough to retoot but wanted to put it behind a CW for all the things.

crow stuff
saw a crow fly past with a stick in its beak. I said "it's a bit late to build a nest, isn't it?" as it landed on the roof of a building nearby. "you're going to build a nest *there*?" and then I realized the crow was using the stick to dig through the gutters for bugtreats, and apologized for underestimating corvid intelligence, which I really should know better than to do. XD
... well I *was* going to go do errands but then the TinyCats feed went to the kittens visiting "Grandpa Mason," and now I'm hooked again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PowGFq6X3Co
Piracy was everything from naval militias defending port towns to slavery abolitionists, there was a black samurai in the 1500s known as Yasuke, and Charley Packhurst was a one-eyed, female-assigned-at-birth, male-presenting hardass who famously ran stagecoaches. History books are big fat bricks of whitewash.
