This is definitely a heron and not a muppet, I swear.

📷: KRT, Commodore Park/Ballard Locks
Three great blue herons (two juveniles and an adult) in a nest in a red alder tree. The juvenile in the middle looks at the viewer with an open beak and wide eyes. There is a thick upright tuft of blue feathers on his head.

This account is just Severance memes now.

(Not my creation, if it needed saying.)
Four frames from Severance: 1. Burt (Christopher Walken) says "I got a fever!" 2. Burt says "and the only prescription ..." 3. (over a photo of Patricia Arquette) "... is more Cobel." 4. Burt smiles.

Today in “two things can be true at once”: 1) I miss Joe Bar, and 2) I’m thrilled that the new place seems to be devoted entirely to freshly baked bread products.
A photo take through the window of a small coffee shop decorated for fall. There are pumpkins in the window and a chandelier up above.

I'm just saying, tho.
Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers mascot. He looks a lot like the gorgon in the OP.

Fall in Seattle: where by the time you've switched out your umbrella for your sunglasses, you need your umbrella again.
Portage Bay from University Bridge. The sky is a wild mix of silver and white clouds and bright blue. The bridge is visible in the left third of the photo. There are buildings in the distance. Portage Bay from University Bridge. The sky is a mix of gray and white clouds and bright blue. A boat is moving toward the bridge, and there are trees and buildings in the distance. A wet street full of puddles and fallen leaves. The red and orange edge of an umbrella is visible at the top of the photo, and there's a Top Pot Doughnuts across the street, dwarfed by a still-full green tree.

Last time I checked, they were sold out here, but a friend got me the last one at her Target. It helps to have friends in high places, and by "high places" I mean Delaware.

Really excited for this! I enjoyed her Odyssey (and the Claire Danes narration) so much.

Trying out yet another Twitter replacement like
Still from The Good Place. Eleanor sits on a couch in front of a green sign that reads "Welcome! Everything is fine."
