The Duolingo Yiddish course is absolutely delightful and frequently absurd. It has definitely made me want to eat babka.
A screenshot of the Duolingo Yiddish course where the sentence being taught is "They do not recognize me when I wear the mask."

A screenshot of the Duolingo Yiddish course where the sentence being taught is "Every night more and more giraffes disappear." A screenshot of the Duolingo Yiddish course where the sentence being taught is "Those evildoers took away my snacks." The speaker is a cartoon character child who looks horrified.

As Maggie would not stop scratching at a cut by her ear and making it worse, she has spent the last week or so in the Orange Neck Pillow of Citrus-y Shame. It's both effective and adorable.
A grey and white cat lies on the couch with a circular pillow around her neck like an Elizabethan ruff. The pillow looks like a slice of orange; the cat looks resigned. A chubby grey and white cat lies on a dark green chair with a circular pillow that looks like a slice of orange around her neck. She is lying on her side and looking up at the camera. A grey and white cat is napping in a dark green chair. She has a circular pillow around her neck that looks like a slice of orange and she is using it to rest her chin while she sleeps. A grey and white cat rests her chin on a circular neck pillow that looks like a slice of orange, looking disgruntled.

Squeaking in just before the end of International Cat Day with some photos of Maggie, a cat who every day finds new shapes to be.
Maggie, a chubby grey and white shorthair cat, sits on a green armchair with her body pointed towards the back of the chair and her head turned almost completely towards the camera. Maggie, still chubby, grey and white, and shorthaired, lies upside down, her front paws folded up on top of her chest like a bunny. Maggie lies on her side on a cushion on the couch with an expression of ennui, her front legs flopped in front of her, with one back leg propped up on the back of the couch to expose her fuzzy white belly.

Great egret, great model! 🪶

When you're getting ready to play hockey in the 70s.
Two illustrated fists pointing forward with the word "foil" written across the knuckles of each.

I exist here now! You may know me from such previous places as Twitter, Tumblr, LiveJournal, personal blogs, MySpace, and mailing lists. Here's a photo of an oriole I took a while ago:
