I 100% had to start adapting to this change myself. I take so many pictures. I'm disabled. I'm home all the time. If I feel well I want to be out with them. The result is I have so many photos and don't know when to post or space them out I now just keep a running backlog of themes/animals/seasons.
A screencap of my photos folder from the first year at my new house and just how ridiculously unmanageable it gets if I don't pace myself.

Peregrine Falcon with it's head tilted inquisitively at the camera. 4. Rocky Mountain Bluebird posing with his back turned to the camera looking over his shoulder.

Get fucked Kim Davis.

Like I'm going to be lectured on the sanctity of marriage by some dumbass on her 4th marriage to her second husband she cheated on her third and first husband with our whatever the fuck she did. You can read below how much marriage means to this fucking bigot:
Davis has been married four times to three husbands.[2][202] The first three marriages ended in divorce in 1994, 2006, and 2008. Davis has two daughters from her first marriage and twins, a son and another daughter, who were born five months after her divorce from her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis's current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried.[8][59] Joe Davis has also stated his support for her stance against same-sex marriage.[3] Davis's son Nathan works in her office as a deputy clerk and has taken the same position of denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples.[203] Shortly after the same-sex marriage license controversy, Davis said she and her husband switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[1]

Just now saw this. Please stop watching AI. It'll typically lie to you. He has been politically more on point of late, but he spent years & all his star power at the peak of it with Jenny McCarthy to give his credibility to the antivaxx movement. Google his ex that is dead too from his actions too.

Those hands are something too...

I do understand what you mean in the whole a human is a human sense, but when those evil people don't follow those rules for all those they hurt I have to listen to Yu-gi-oh's advice:
Yu-gi-oh "Don't speak ill of the dead" card "Don't be a piece of shit while you're alive card" Man challenging initially gets vaporized.

"It kind of exploded." It's like these people forget we have video of everything. It didn't even unwrap:

It would have been great, but at least the consolation prize is he's still in hell now.

100% of my photos posted are taken from my porch here. I've been happy for the 1.5yrs since I moved. The peace has been good for my health. That's why I invite everyone to decompress 😊

I have probably 10 different ones lol
a black coffee mug with the words "I hate people" under a bird with orange and black feathers. A second mug that is white with a vulture on it that says powered by spite.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #thinking.
When I'm cleaning the feeders my hummingbirds sit on the porch watching and waiting for me, but if something startles them they go into longboi mode trying to analyze what's going on.
#birds #nature #wildlife #photography
A rufous tailed hummingbird named Hobbes, inquisitively looking around as I clean and refill his feeder and displaying his bright orange and areas of green iridescence of his gorget each time he sees anyone else. You can see a better photo of this gorgeous bird here: https://bsky.app/profile/joel-rocketco.bsky.social/post/3lxu5i26cfs2w

Arc Raiders can fuck off I guess. Trash ass GenAI is always trash.
A close up of the helmet from a shot from the game arc raiders. It's made with garbage GenAI, which never does anything right. It shows random skeletons in the reflection of his mask and a weird hose connected device on the front of the helmet that connects to nothing.

Vibes are off. Post sassy hummingbirds. #birds
My boy mark this year being very annoyed by his gf always hanging around. The photo shows a broad tailed hummingbird male, with a ruby/magenta gorget. His wings are up and all his feathers are flared out as he is displaying and poofing up to chase another bird off.

This is the only important part of this terrible @statnews.com article you need to read. The article poorly tries to once again do "bothsidesism" bs about the origin of Covid19. It was zoonotic get over it.
Unlike most of those who write about the origin question, we do not bring a strong point of view about whether the virus that causes Covid was crafted in a lab or jumped from animals to humans (the “zoonotic” possibility). In fact, our best understanding right now is that the answer to this question is unknowable — a “known unknown,” if you will. We are very much aware that others on both sides feel certain they do know or at least have very strong suspicions. (The two of us have merely guesses, and weak ones at that; not having much confidence in those, we do not share them in our case study.)

For my pseudoscientist reply guy. I thought of you this morning while I poured my coffee and I know you're still creeping my profile:

Thanks for the great mugs @effinbirds.com

If only there was an outside source where people could come from and move here to increase our population. There's got to be a word for it but I'm just not thinking of it...

Women don't like the vehicle:
(yes this is an incredibly niche #battletech version of the joke)
This mech, the Blue flame has a horrible reputation because it is associated with a cult, Word of Blake, a splinter faction of ComStar that was created in 3052 from a religious backlash against the removal of ComStar's mystical and religious aspects. They instigated a Jihad, which ended with the defeat of the Blakists in 3081 and the reintegration of the remaining Blakists back into ComStar. While officially destroyed, adherents to the Word of Blake's ideals existed within ComStar and terrorist groups well into the thirty-second century. The Blue Flame began production after the Word of Blake took possession of Terra and upgraded the factory that produced the Shootist to produce four-legged BattleMechs. The Blue Flame is an extremely stable platform due to its quadrupedal configuration. The Blue Flame's primary armament is two Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER large lasers that allow the 'Mech to engage the enemy at long ranges. It also has three Hovertec Streak Streak SRM-2 launchers for close range combat. The 'Mech is built around a Dennenbach-Mitchell Series 8 endo steel that cradles a VOX 225 light fusion engine, giving the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h. The Blue Flame carries an impressive eleven tons of StarSlab/2 armor and has 10 double heat sinks. To allow the 'Mech to share targeting data with friendly units, it is equipped with an improved C3 computer that allows it to exchange information with other C3i equipped units.

Meme of a guy who is horribly offended by what he sees on his screen. He then turns to the side to show it's given him a raging boner and that his true self and the wants he can't acknowledge are what really offends him.
