btw my best stream from 2024 (and perhaps all time) was the three-hour just chatting stream where we did sandwich taxonomy. It's one of the only vods i've cared about keeping
today i bumped the fridge door shelf and it fell, shattering condiment jars all over just as I needed to take shmackson somewhere and shmusband cut himself.
later, a big part of the plaster ceiling just... fell. Was streaming, and got on camera a very spooked lem-geck.
I just... no threes please.

I've done a lot of appraisals and supervisions in the past few weeks and a lot of conversations have ended up like so:
Reflection is not just the "what happened and why". The final, essential step is "what am I going to do next".
Reflection without action is absolutely pointless.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you deserve friends who treat you with kindness / respect. You deserve friends who assume your intentions are good.
Those friends exist. They're waiting for you, patiently, and won't be upset at the time you took. They'll just be delighted you've arrived.

Bartleby, my first cat, was an angel on earth and I would never have subjected him to such indignity. Onion wakes me up at 4 in the morning for wet food by screaming directly into my ear canal and has broken ~$3K worth of my personal belongings, so Onion is going to be a Happy Little Sunflower today

If anything could be a better indicator of how I need to take time off and let myself heal, it's the way I feel so differently on a Saturday where I allow myself to enjoy life and rest versus a Sunday where I am imbued with an intense anxiety for the week ahead.

On Saturday a tip from a follower led friends of Central Park's Lost Budgerigar to nearby Morningside Park where we saw what most probably is her, looking and behaving as usual, and seeming to be in good health as she foraged peacefully. 🦜 💛

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.
LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.
These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.
The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!
Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.
FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

The Lost Budgerigar continues in Central Park, often near a rock outcropping by West Drive and 83rd Street. She is fine with the slightly cooler weather but will need a rescue when cold arrives. 🦜 💛

Don’t understand what Indefinite Leave to Remain means? Let me explain from a personal POV
If Reform get in, my Mum will be deported.
Taking out the emotion: she has lived in the U.K. for 50+ years, paid taxes, worked as a midwife in the NHS. She has contributed more to the UK than these racists.

If this happens, it will tear apart families, and destroy the UK.
