Crow parents have the patience of saints 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛
I am l flattered that the parents think I’ve made a safe space for them, but vaguely horrified - because a young crow screaming for food sounds like a mechanical whoopie cushion being both choked and stabbed at once

Word of the Day #2

hornswoggle
[ hawrn-swog-uhl ] verb

to cheat or swindle

To hornswoggle is to cheat or swindle, often in a humorous or exaggerated way. This lively Americanism from the 1800s is just as fun to say as it is to catch in action. Don't fall for it!

Word of the Day #2

griseous
[ gris-ee-uhs ] adjective

gray or pearl-gray

Griseous is a fancy way of saying something is gray. This word comes from Latin and adds a poetic touch to any description of art, weather, or fashion.

As shitty as life can be sometimes and as wild as it is that we are all alive on earth completely by chance and life is just happenstance, there are some pretty amazing things to see and be a part of. And I think that's really neat.

There are no rules, just write
