Went to the lovely Stones and Bones Museum in Sarnia. The bones were cool, the taxidermy is amazing and...not right at times. I did not see uncle Earl, but I did meet this little fell and thought about @tkingfisher.com
a badly taxidermied albino raccoon is lying on a stick with his left legs draped down into the air. On the floor is a taxidermy ptarmigan

Brought home a new friend today
An old gargoyle sits contemplating life with his hands under his chin. He's green but in places the paint has chipped off a little so you can see the concrete underneath. From the tips of his cloven hooves to his facial expression, you can tell he's seen things

When you find yourself on the side of a pot at the Goodwill but the price ($75) is a wee too steep to bring home

Apologies that I do not know the artist, but this is excellent advice

From Micah Bazant's website: This piece was created during Pride 2013, when almost no one remembered Marsha P. Johnson, one of the mothers of the trans and queer liberation movement. I created it as a celebration of her life and legacy, and an expression of rage at the white supremacist corporate appropriation of Pride. This poster was inspired by the research of Tourmaline, who first popularized Marsha’s legacy for new generations. To learn more about Marsha, watch Pay It No Mind - The Life and Times of Marsha P. Johnson. This image is based on a photo by Marsha's friend, Randy Wicker, with permission. The phrase "No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us" was originally written by me, but has become globally attributed to Marsha. This attribution has made it much more meaningful and powerful for trans and queer communities, and I am happy for her to receive credit for it. I am unendingly grateful for all Marsha gave us, and for the countless other warriors who sacrificed their lives to create space for trans existence.
