I had dinner with the ex-husband and he was wearing one of the new Disapproving Rabbits shirts.To my surprise I got a notification of $343 from Red Bubble deposited my account—just a little over a week from putting up the merch that I can send to The Bond Between.

It says a lot that the folks who really love the old terribly designed colonialist Minnesota flag are out calling ICE unAmerican.

@birdchick.bsky.social Nadja….approves..? I can’t tell

I got Scalzied!

She liked the belly rubs that happened during it

Image of a bunch of text between two people. One person is trying to offer support from out of state. The other person sends a garbled message about a dog being adorable and being a good girl and needing time on the couch and a treat. The out-of-state person responds that it’s fucking adorable.

When your out of state friend checks on you and voice to text ignores your heartfelt gratitude and instead focuses on a conversation you are having with your dog when she’s dancing at you.

Maybe I should drag that design out too. I just found it in the archive.

That’s the approval I need.

That’s the approval I need.

This is just inside the door of my locked office building. Because pepper spray is being deployed without care for what’s nearby and mostly because an ice agent doesn’t like the sound of a whistle. Call your elected officials. You do not want federal occupation in your city.

I was trying to explain to my husband the other night how the Gar Guy - a scientist who posts exuberantly and almost exclusively about his study fish - is now posting about ICE alerts and how this indicates both the level of danger we're in and the confidence we should have in our fellow Americans.

My dog is like, “For the love of all that is holy, please turn off Cities 97!”

I’m convinced this is an elaborate plan to Wham us.

It could a trap to lure us all in and then hit us all with Last Christmas.

Can confirm. Cities 97 is not ok.

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

Halloween costume ideas for birders.

A handmade pin-back button that is light blue with a pair of binoculars that has pigeons in each of the lenses. Words above/below the binoculars say “NO BORDERS YES BIRDERS”

I got this perfect pin today from @nobordersbooks.bsky.social

I'm super excited to share that I am part of the October lineup for Mary Jo Pehl's Garage for the Performing Arts on October 18 at 6 pm talking about why moose are the worst.

Tickets are $5 and you must email Mary Jo to reserve a spot. mjopehl@gmail.com

The University of Glasgow groundspeople are going to be quite annoyed when they come in to work tomorrow...

Oh hell, this is based on that Birding with Benefits book. Which was not great, but I’m glad that author is getting some money.

Thanks, Hallmark Channel, I hate it. Of course it’s a guy introducing a woman to birding 🙄 Also he wants to be a bird guide and he’s using porro prism binos?? he doesn’t have a real neck strap? Or even a harness for that matter? Where the hell is his spotting scope?

Maybe quetzal? I’ve tried for them twice and I’ve heard them, but I have not seen them. But I did write up about my spruce grouse when I finally got it in Alaska. www.birdchick.com/blog/2021/9/...

Wait you and I both had spruce grouse as nemesis birds? Did I know this? Congrats BTW

He’s definitely not dead.

I mean, that’s technically an egret hat?
