photo of an american robin sitting on a curved ash branch surrounded by rust colored dried ash seed pods. The robin is facing away from the camera in profile toward the left.

There's a massive hatch of wooly aphids right now and the Robins are here for it!

This Ms. knew the seeds on the Oregon Ash would make a picture perfect frame.

The Great Gatsby is about the ills of greed and immorality, a not-so-subtle statement that “the American dream” is futile.

"And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

I really want to see the end result.

Im throwing all my positive vibes at Roki right now.

We're getting the gang back together!

Spotted the the first white-crowned sparrow of the season!

I'm so sorry you've been forced into this desicion, things shouldn't be this way and I hope we all work to change things here so people can just live their lives.

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Trying to blame the Dems cutting off SNAP (while sitting on billons of available contingency funds) as his boss bulldozes the WH to build a ball room like Saddam's palace, sends $40 billion to bail out Argentines, and eats "gold adorned" brownies in Korea is not gonna work.

Social media is a terrible place to hone those skills.

Doesn’t get any weirder than finding a Yellow-breasted Chat in someone’s back patio condo tree. It then flew down into another tiny condo back patio. Wild place for one of these skulky birds. First Meadow Park record here in SLO County. 🥹🪶🐥

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
