I was in awe

(I have a background in scenic design, yes)

Would really love to see the ground plan and elevations

Incredible scenic design, without a doubt the coolest set of any halftime show ever

If the MTA really cared about me they would make this train go express

😂

A photo still from the Milan 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Dancers are dressed as bright, colorful moka pots, with lids worn as hats and matching bright stockings and black pumps on their feet. The dancer’s arms make the handles of th moka pots in the same bright colors.

this is now my whole personality

Anhinga in Audubon Park, New Orleans, December 2025 🪶

Close up of an Anhinga, a large water bird with gray and black plumage and a long pointy orange-ish beak. The bird is perched over the water, in 3/4 profile facing the camera, wings hanging open, wispy feathers around their face and neck catching the sunlight.

Congrats! What a beauty!

I think I’m going to just start handing people masks when they are open-mouth coughing and/or sneezing near me on the train

Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl on the same perch as the above photo. In this photo he is on high alert, and has all of his feathers puffed out to make him appear larger to any potential threats. It gives him the appearance of being constructed out of pom-poms

tfw there are crows nearby and u must become a pom-pom 🟠🪶

Flaco, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, perched on a large diagonal branch, many another bare diagonal branches in the background making angular shapes against the gray sky behind him. He is facing the camera, but his head is turned slightly to the right, large fluffy eyelids mostly closed

To commemorate the anniversary of the first time I saw Flaco, here he is providing us all with A Mood

Public transit should be free, and it should fucking work

Six dollars is still cheaper than taking a car (or owning one), but still !!!!

We are paying six dollars a day to be late and stressed tf out, fix it !!!!!

Desperately need the MTA to get their shit together

A Common Raven in flight in a blue sky. Their wings are folded down and close to their body, mid wing beat. The raven’s formidable beak is open, and their tongue is visible

A Ring-billed Gull in flight in a bright blue sky with wisps of white clouds. The gull’s black-tipped wings are extended out and angled downward, almost in an “M” shape. The gull’s face and part art of their white undersides are illuminated by the afternoon sun

This formidable Red-tailed Hawk often visits the neighborhood to coast the thermals and give the pigeons a fright. She is always a beautiful sight to behold 🪶

Burrowing owlet flying by, looking at the camera.

Good morning! 🪶

Right? I am always amused by them

The same Tufted Titmouse, still perched on a bare branch, facing out, and looking out/to the left. The white plumage on their front illuminated by the afternoon sun, their signature gray head crest still not visible. The background is other bare tree branches and blue sky, out of focus

Eatin’ snow 😋❄️🪶

(thanks to the Mallards and random passersby for providing additional scoring on this video lol)

A White-throated Sparrow looking very floofy on the snow and ice-covered ground. Two thin branches with a clump of snow-covered dead leaves is in the background, matching the overall buff/brown color palette of the sparrow
