Birds. Books. Democracy. Dogs.
No other literary subscription holds a candle to McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern from @mcsweeneys.net, as evidenced by the current issue, an actual Trapper Keeper full of things you'll want to read, as opposed to those assignments given by your sadistic middle school social studies teacher.

The Mrs. thinks the Mr. is a bit of a show-off in that ostentatious coat, but he wears what he wants to.

Juvenile #WesternGull stuck in the parking lot because the grownups snagged all the good spots on the beach.

A beautiful amanita muscaria, looking for all the world like a tiny little birdbath.

In honor of Veterans Day, I made my submariner husband a classic dish from his days in the Navy: Shit on a Shingle. I don't know that he's ever been happier with one of my meals.

This committee of vultures would rather be overhead looking for lunch and are of the collective opinion an e-mail would have sufficed.

The Northern Black-throated Trogon, captured on my iPhone through a scope: #least represented in my photo files but not least in thrilling sightings.

The aptly named superb fairywren, standing on a rail for no reason other than to be admired.
