Incapable of shutting up about owls. Queer neurodivergent leftist millennial. I make art sometimes (not as often as I want to). Expect cat photos (her name is June). Wildlife rehabilitator & educator. Unreasonably goofy.

Going to a Catholic health care facility is fucking wild because they just casually have a fucking execution device (complete with tiny corpse model!) in a place of prominence on the wall. Ghoulish behavior

My bedroom is a huge-yet-cozy converted attic in my friends’ 150-year-old farmhouse, and mice aren’t too uncommon in a house like this. Nbd. There is currently a skittering sound in the ceiling and my cat - who gleefully dispatched the last one a couple months ago - is Losing Her Fucking Mind

Important reminder: “AI” programs/LLMs cannot know things, feel things, understand things, synthesize information cogently, be reliable, and they most certainly cannot apologize. They are incapable of having “intelligence,” even. They are predictive text machines, not sentient beings.
This anthropomorphized framing of Grok in the media (claiming that Grok has "apologized") only serves the interests of these tech companies. It gives the appearance that some entity has taken responsibility for what is happening, when in reality no one has.
Is anyone going to take accountability for this?

Played dreidel tonight. I got gimel like 10 times in a row and kept throwing extra coins into the pot to try to rebalance things a bit but still ended up with every coin in the game. Anyway here’s my friend fucking up the photo I was going to post to commemorate the occasion 😂

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Maybe it’s just a “working on a college campus” thing but I was just asked if I’m almost done with finals 😂 ma’am I have been done with finals for a decade and a half
Not to be all “omg millennials look soooo young teehee” or anything but I did just get asked, a month before my 39th birthday, what I am majoring in. Dude should definitely get his eyes checked but I’ll take it anyway 😂

Delayed realization on my part I’m sure but is the trend of putting everything in video form basically just a result of teaching three-cueing as a method of “reading”? Because now there are that many people for whom watching a video is ACTUALLY faster than reading words? What a colossal fuckup.

Also this morning on the way to work I watched a Bald Eagle snatch a dead squirrel off the road and carry it off while being chased by several crows. Quicker than waiting in line at Dunkin I guess 🤷🏻♀️😂

I wasn’t kidding about this btw. That one job didn’t pan out but I’m now working at UMaine in Orono, just moved here last week, drove from Santa Fe by myself (with my cat), currently living with aforementioned bff. Hell yeah.
Visited (or drove/flew through, mostly) 14 states in the past week. Best trip ever except for the part where I had to leave my best friend’s new house in Maine and fly back to New Mexico. Already have one job app submitted in Bangor, will do everything to get back there asap 🥲

Started a new job recently, and I’m now realizing that I’m gonna have to get used to being expected to awwww over photos of people’s dogs and kids instead of cats and wildlife. I’m not a hater I’m just not actually interested in dogs or children and I’ve never had to fake it before 🫤

Last night I found a paper I wrote in grad school, about 15 yrs ago, about ways to assess and improve students’ access to sex education materials in Indiana secondary school libraries.
That paper would look awfully different if I wrote it now, and not in ways I might have thought. 🫠

💯💯💯💯💯!!! It takes so much more than love and passion to care for animals. It even takes more than money (often in short supply). You HAVE TO have proper training, skills, depth and breadth of knowledge, ethics, oversight, support, infrastructure, certifications/licenses, etc, etc, etc
Loving animals does not necessarily mean you are qualified to care for said animals, in the case of many a viral exotic animal “rescue.” The average social media viewer does not understand that what they’re seeing is animal abuse because they don’t know how to identify it

Hey if you must bring your loud anxious dog into a public place (and here’s an idea: don’t), perhaps don’t bring them into a tiny waiting room and just stay there while they bark and growl anytime something happens. You can, and should, fuckin Leave

It was kind of a ripoff of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with an unreasonable number of Monty Python references and a very “awkward teenager” title (“Sanity is Never a Good Thing”). Writing it was a blast though and I still quote parts of it to myself occasionally haha
so, to the writers... what was the terrible novel you wrote at 14? Mine was about a redhaired freedom fighter called Eleanor Sunstripe

I’m sitting here eating a Klondike bar and, apparently, about to find out what my cat would do for one

Big long birding day today. 40 species! I don’t have a real camera so these photos I took with my phone through binoculars will have to do. Very cooperative Green Heron model, plus a bunch of nesting Double-crested Cormorants! Northern New Mexico, USA

Finally saw some Horned Larks today!! Plus Common Nighthawks, Black-crowned Night Herons, a Lark Sparrow, various other neat birds, and a bat (not sure what species though, maybe big brown?) 😍 Video is shit quality but features a lark yelling a lot

Opened facebook after being out birding and thought someone was reporting some kind of weird coot or cormorant

My cat, who once grabbed a fly out of the air to eat it and once nearly started a fight with an enormous centipede on the bookshelf, is staring at the floor slow-blinking at a bug
