Dear America,

Worth a minute of your time.

Kudos to @blumenthal.senate.gov for all of his words, but particularly these.

Additional support & so much respect for my own Senator, @murray.senate.gov

Keep it up. Vought would be catastrophic on top of everything else already being done.

Clip 3- lunchtime wander with my two pups. An area I visit often, and one they’ve also found as a safe haven- protected from being logged/harvested. This is mom with her 2 juveniles from this season. They showed up awkward & fluffy in the Spring. Look at them play now!

Clip 2- directly above my house, to have an extra close up hello/good morning. (This is the female- her partner is always on watch over her, in/out of site).

Typical morning to afternoon- in 5 clips. This is part of my extended family- they’ve been coming around & growing their families- coming up on year 8. Highly suggest making a corvid friend (or many!) if you can.

Clip 1- coming home to a hello/thank you for morning treats. #birdnerd #pnw #ravens

Casual Saturday, with bonus tail whacks from our (now) foster fail. He even snores adorably.

Out on the morning daily wander, and a friend made it very clear they needed to say hello.
Happy Saturday, everyone. I hope you find a bit of joy and a welcome hello from an unexpected space.

Take one for the road- a quip my mom would’ve loved knowing I used. If you ever need a minute to decompress, this is one of my favorite ways to do so. I’m lucky to have my little magic space of my own creating, never ever take it for granted, & happy to share bits that I think we all may need :)

Happy Friday to all of you! It’s been a chaotic period filled with impossibly stupid & dangerous people.

That being said-
•take a deep breath
•decompress in any (mostly healthy) way you can
•try to find some thing that brings you joy, big or small
•do something kind for no reason at all

Also adding everyone I see in the comments! Hi, it’s me. I have less patience for people these days than ever, but unfailing kindness for all things, so I think it balances out. Hopefully this makes your week suck a little less. Sláinte! #PNW

In case you needed a moment to breathe. I just popped on & already do.

My dad & stepmom are out on a long cruise. They’re getting encouraging texts from the siblings such as “stay as long as you can” “please buy the hobbit houses” “do we have dual citizenship anywhere” “we are fucked, y’all”. So as you can see, it’s going well! A minute of zen for all of us. We need it

*rapid. Damn missing p. In my defense this was simultaneously happening.

Nothing to see here, just a daily lunchtime bestie coming for their snack. A gentle reminder that just because some- ok, more than my brain cares to think about-suck, you can practice kindness & create relationships in all sorts of spaces. #PNW #WA #Raven #Nature #InterspeciesFriendship #Corvid
