Just trying to be less of an asshole. Sometimes I make jokes. I like to hunt right wing trolls to add to my blocklist. I take requests 🇵🇸 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇨🇦

Update: If you're enough of an asshole I'll make room for you, too 🙂

I just rescued this carpenter bee from a yellow jacket that was eating it alive. Unfortunately her wings have been chewed right off. So I guess this is my new pet?

Her name is Karen

Not the best footage but I was pretty thrilled to see a woodpecker in my tree this morning

I was JUST talking about how what I'm really missing from my home decor is a giant croissant.

I think at this point Gertie is only pretending to be afraid of me.

I love watching her chomp!

You were right! Haven't seen Coco for a few days, she's been extra cautious ever since she got knocked up. In the meantime her summer coat finished coming in but I still recognized her when she came to visit.

Her belly is so big already!

Gertie's den

Oh boy. This is another different groundhog who I've named Gertie and I'm pretty sure she's Gus' mate and she's definitely living under my porch. I think I'm gonna see their behbehs soon. Is this bad?

Like, do I have cute pets or a pest problem?

Also Gus stayed with me for a LONG time today so I got lots of footage

Having my usual morning coffee with my critter friends when, without warning, they freaked the hell out and took off.

And that's when I see this guy. This is Fat Bastard, the raccoon that lives under my back deck.

Yeah, I named her after those old fashioned Humbug candies because of her stripes.

And she IS brave because out of the 3 she is the most afraid of me yet she is also the one who gets closest to me. She has run right across my feet a few times

The whole gang is here (Coco on the left, Pinky on the right and of course Humbug)

It looks all Norman Rockwell here but make no mistake, all three of them are very ready to throw hands.

Today's Value Village find. Did not have in my size.

This is Gus the groundhog who eats all my lettuce and breaks my heart.

And yet, I love him.

I have a jumping spider living in my back room and I love her so much. She is so cute, watch her work up the courage to jump!

We recently discovered that our 17 yr old has been making wine in his bedroom for the last year and a half.

Taught himself, got his own equipment & did hours of research. He now knows more about fermenting than I do.

Tried his honey mead & it's delicious.

You had it right, it was a sparrow. They do sound a lot like squirrels sometimes. They've been chasing each other around all morning trying to make sparrow behbehs.

But you know the Bluejays are VERY keen to notice when there's peanuts around. And willing to fight for them too.

@katyaandyourdad.bsky.social

This is Humbug, taking advantage of the fact that my squirrels aren't visiting today.

He'd stuff 3 peanuts in his face if he could. I've watched him try

Friends with benefits. I stopped recording when things got too spicy.

They were shameless.

Right in front of my salad. Literally, I'm growing lettuce in there.

Coco was neither pregnant nor nursing. This is her new boyfriend. They met in front of my car and have been dating about 15 minutes now. She'll surely be pregnant soon

There's no way this thing is a virgin.

Chez bestowing great honour on me by eating his peanuts in my presence. He does not like the little brown paper skins on them.

The skins are good for you, Chez that's where the fiber is!

Here is Coco stealing her peanut. Though she is still quite timid you can see she's much more relaxed than Chez.
