Hempstead animal shelter #1 thing they're looking for in an adopter for MELIA.
"Hello, we would need an applicant that has experience with resource guarding and stranger issues, as she does have a bite history with both those behavioral issues."

Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra): This 17cm (6.7in) American songbird was originally considered a Tanager but has since been classified as a member of the Cardinal family. Breeding is normally in open wooded habitat in the southern US. Neat photo taken by Mark Watts in Alabama, USA. #tanager #wildlife

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

Happy Thursday free thinkers in the sky that's blue. As a bad birder, one of the things I love about trying to follow Rob and Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is it forces me to learn. Today's is #Songbirds and I now know cardinals fit the ... bill ... and the beak 🐦🦉

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box.
Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!
