Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring". -
Advance warning: from tomorrow, I'm going to start sharing a poem each day again; so, if you were ever thinking about closing down your social media accounts, now might be a good time.i always say i'm going to do that but i don't think of any frequently enough...

Tried photographing starlings but I only got were these really dark shots of shapes high up in trees."fame is my dream, u can take my picture!" - sweet starling all posed nicely

The Society of Authors (UK) is helping launch this: an identifier for human-authored (i.e. non-AI) books: https://humanauthored.co.uk/well... we'll see but i fear it will be something else authors are going to be expected to pay for that doesn't really move the needle

Hundreds of scientists say stop! -
I have to show off this absolutely unreal quetzal I had the pleasure of seeing in person."i was not only not stuffed, i was pretty hungry, have you upgraded your offerings on the bird table yet?" -- big eyed hungry quetzel of cuteness...

Ant Fact of the Day:i have some anthill garnets around the house somewhere... pretty sure mine came from Arizona

If I could put my finger on the different scale of the problem of starting a forever war in Afghanistan and starting a forever war with Iran, it's that half the world's shipping doesn't have to sail right past Afghanistan.yes, the industry obviously desperately needed higher prices but it's all about filling the pockets of the few, i live in Louisiana, & i can promise that the great wealth created by our reserves & refineries sure hasn't been used to help our people
SIGH

none of these alleged "wars for oil" was needed for oil, they were needed so corrupt GOPs / defense contractors could keep filling their pockets

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴a girl can dream SIGH...
what a world it would be if this were true, instead, we have a world where crimes against women & girls are committed with impunity & if any dare whisper a complaint about the open buying & selling of our bodies, then the boys all wave their hands in the general direction of the falling bombs that they themselves released to say, "only our issues matter, k thanks"

In my 21 1/2 years of military service I don’t recall ever running into anything like this.they admit to being war criminals who want to bring about Armageddon & the end of life on Earth... admit it? no, they boast about it!!!
there will come a day when everyone will acknowledge that pretending white evangelical Christianity was anything other than evil was itself an evil...
all this, because girls & women complained about being bought & sold by rich men!

In it's Nth explanation for Trump's war with Iran, the US administration now says, the US had to attack Iran, because Israel decided to attack Iran.Epstein is wagging the dog from beyond the grave, we all know Russia has photos & videos of the Chester in chief, guess Israel has some too...
Believe girls & women, not decades later, but when they first speak out...imagine if these professional sex traffickers had been dealt with in the early 1990s... no one would even remember their names today, & so many other problems would already be solved!!!

I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport.some books are basic consumables
some GENRES are basic consumables
i sometimes wonder if non romance readers have ANY clue about how many many many gay hockey romances were published every month (almost all by self published authors) since (i wanna say) maybe 2012 or 2013 before the world took notice and made a TV series

I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport.i don't have a problem with it, some people have a competitive mentality & they literally would never do anything except to keep up with the Joneses -- any kind of reading exercises the brain, the imagination, & empathy even if it's just not that deep
plus many fast reads aren't worth spending too much time on, the Jenna's Pick I'm listening to now (moral of the story: rich Florida sucks) doesn't need deep thought, it's something we already know
disclosure: i do read a lot at speed

We had a lovely visitor on our back fence this morning - a Barred Owl!they look so sweet & innocent when they're snoozing!!!!
