View of a heron swooping over the water along a rocky beach. 2 deer are standing on the shore behind the heron, with a tree covered hill in the background. Industrial buildings are also visible in the background.

Fun hike with @kelleyjones.bsky.social on Maplewood trails in North Vancouver. Spotted great blue herons, a bald eagle, kingfisher, ducks, gulls, and black-tailed deer on the beach!

If this were true, Democrats would be wiping the floor with Republicans. (They aren’t.)

From rave to grave

Well looking at their profile leads me to believe they are a TERF so…

I bought the new book from @mattielubchansky.com after learning about it from her skeets alone.

I noticed it was dark but never that it was actually pink or red. I’ll have to bring my readers next time I’m out on a walk.

I remember checking it out from my school library and then couldn’t finish it. I could hardly deal with how scary the cover was!

A pair of swallows are working on building a nest in a gourd-shaped bird house. One swallow is mid-flight carrying a small stick in its beak and the other is standing on the bird-house structure.

Beautifully constructed but abandoned robin’s nest with a strawberry plant growing out of it.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
