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

Question for anyone who's gone through a university or technical school CS or related program (or whatever):

Written language is one of the coolest things we jank-ass apes have ever figured out how to do.

Current status: doing my best to do the social-crafty side of :fox:​

I try not to let on too much but uhh messaging for desired effect is actually something I spend a whole lot of time thinking about.
