With any luck, Weeper will be our first #TNR this year ๐Ÿพ heโ€™s scheduled to go in on the 13th. I plan on grabbing him on the 10th so I can give him a Capstar & some Panacur before his appointment.

A photo of a California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica), a medium-sized songbird with a vibrant blue head and wings and tail, pale gray underside, gray back, white throat, dark eyes, white eyebrows, and black beak. It is perched on a green plastic platform feeder with a peanut in its beak, facing toward the right of frame in diffuse cloudy day lighting.

A photo of a male lazuli bunting (Passerina amoena), a small finch with a vivid blue head, back, and wings, perched on a thin vertical dried stalk set amongst purple blooming lupine flowers. Its back is to the camera and it is facing to the left of frame, showing off all of its blue coloring.

The lovely lazuli bunting, which apparently like bird feeders, but NOT MINE. #BirdOfTheDay #Finches

Three things that helped me manage flares better: 1) Identifying my personal triggers 2) Planning rest days in advance 3) Accepting that some days just won't go as planned

Yes, I can't always tell what is cause versus effect, but gut problems and flares do tend to coincide. For me, I think more often than not the root cause is stress, which then throws off the gut & triggers the flare.

I get that. I love Bluesky, but sometimes you just have to step away for a bit; no one expects you to keep up with everything. I've been worried about you, and I'm glad to hear that you understand the situation and know how to cope, and that you have support in taking care of yourself.๐Ÿซถ

Tiny hairs with little white dots on top are the fruiting bodies of a fungal mold on rotting wood. In the background, a yellow slime mold network grows on fallen leaves.

A fiery sunrise over the pacific ocean. Two jetty's stretch out into the bay from a tree covered land mass. Across the textured water a mountain range set aglow by the rising sun. Birds can be seen in two places, just above the mountains, and far left in shadow

she writes a silent manifesto
every day
she knows no borders
she works to heal
the scars that we create
build a cage
she covers it with vine
spill blood
her tears bring
a soft bed of moss
her gift to us
fragile
yet still we war

Five little wooden stairs deep in the forest, slightly random but all is well. Filtered sun streams through the landscape highlighting tree trunks covered in moss. Wild ferns live happily on the forest floor as all around them trees dance and grow haphazardly

High tide and high surf have kicked up the sea foam, which makes it even more fun to watch.
