Addie

A gray snowy day, with flecks of white scattered in the air--upper left of the vertical frame is a bright bold red bird feeder, a squirrel proof kind (but spoiler warning, not raccoon proof since they would later destroy this feeder). Center of frame is a dark-eyed junco almost literally hovering there the way a hummingbird would. Usually dark-eyed juncos are round, bulbous little fuzzbuckets, but when flying, this one looks stretched out, graceful even, gunmetal gray, its wing out, tails pert and pointed backward, eyes forward as they are cast diligently upon the prize of precious bird seed. This junco is ready to take on the world. This junco will fuck your shit up. Do not be in the way of this bird or you will find yourself down on your ass, foolish human. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig.

open up your heart

and let the bird in

your heart is now a bird nest, too bad

it's your (ir)regularly scheduled bird break

It’s a lovely snow globe here today. I would prefer to be spending it snuggled under a blanket but looking out the window at work will have to do for now.

This movie shaped my life for real.

A very long and thin Amazon tree boa is wrapped several times around a person’s forearm. The snake is yellowish brown with black patches. His eyes are bright yellow.

Today’s snake content: Spaghetti

Love to delight strangers in the hospital where I work with my chicken themed attire

Having a great fucking Monday morning. Have a super huge cold sore, am fighting with one of my partners and I have the worst cramps of my life. Perimenopause is bullshit.

Love this one so much!

We just inherited this guy from someone who passed away and he must have done so much work handling him because he’s a very chill snake.

Weirdly, I enjoy the sensation of the snot freezing in my nose on a 13F day.

Well I really need this

Here’s What I Think You Do Today, January 20th, 2025 It’s gonna be a stupid, horrible day. We all know that. It’s going to be full of what passes for pomp and circumstance amongst the set of rich tacky dickheads that are about to take ful…

Here, I said some goofy bullshit about what maybe you can do today. Is it helpful? Probably not! But it's here! For you to ignore or embrace at your leisure.

Terrified today. Hugging all my people tight in my thoughts.

This snake really likes being on top of the world

I am so worried for my backyard ladies.

New snake! His owner tragically died last week. He’s an Amazon tree boa, about 6 years old and surprisingly chill!

Thanks to all the atheists out there just doing the right thing without me threatening you with fire and brimstone.

Had a dream about getting a cheese hoagie from Wawa last night. I miss Philly.

It’s the saddest! I say this as a person who moved to Vermont and desperately misses the ginkos.

Nobody’s gonna give you permission to be the freaky little guy you wanna see in the world, so don’t wait, just become it.

Obsessive thoughts about getting an Impossible Whopper and pickle fries as I’ve been fasting for surgery since last evening.

Thank you! Very minor. They wanted to do it in office but I was too chicken.

A person wearing a black ball cap that says BEES in yellow letters and a Vote for Pedro tshirt looks skeptically at the camera as a ball python climbs over the top of their hat.

Realizing I owe you all some snake content, and I need a distraction, so here you go!

As a surgical scheduler, it’s pretty weird to be on the other side. Surgery today at 3. Fasting since last night. No coffee this morning! 😩😭

Third visit to the ER this week. Luckily it’s a ghost town tonight so maybe I won’t be here for 8+ hours?

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

A cicada emerges from its husk, all pink and purple and shiny

Congratulations. You’ve survived until Wednesday. Here, have a cicada, as a treat.
