Poast brand herbicide (sethoxydim)

Spraying this all over any noxious discourse

Putting "MD" after my name because I incorporated as a municipality in Maryland

The human condition is to look at bird. Some of us simply have the early-onset version

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

Correct. The jello and mini marshmallows should be folded into cool whip to form fluff

Close-up of a glossy black bloody-nosed beetle resting on a bright green, unfurling frond of Hart’s-tongue fern. The fern frond is curled at the tip, with fine hairs along its edge. The beetle’s rounded body contrasts sharply with the vivid green, while the soft-focus woodland background adds depth. The beetle appears still, emphasising its flightless nature.

I made a pilgrimage to Greenbelt as soon as I moved to DC because I just couldn't get enough Resettlement Administration architecture

The design and influence of planned communities under the New Deal

I have been given a beekeeper's hat in case of bee-related emergency. I don't think I'll need to use it but they've been hanging out outside of their hive in a way that's scaring the hoes

Same. I think January 2021 was the toughest month of my life and it wasn't even because of anything that was happening to me, personally

Hard to say, all it says is "Made In Japan"

Looks like that's the matching ashtray? Insane

Mug featuring same slogan as above

Holy shit, I own a mug with this same graphic on it (found it at a thrift store and felt I needed proof that I'd really seen such a thing)

Bloom County being based on Iowa City is kind of earth-shattering news to me as someone who read all the compilations as a kid in Iowa in the 90s

I don't understand setting out to be late, I just end up that way somehow

(Spyglass trained on pelagic species, about to record a lifer storm petrel) yes, of course, maritime commerce

Getting into piracy as a roundabout justification for keeping a parrot

I'm only going outside for my job today unfortunately. And I allowed myself to be tricked into thinking cold and windy time was over

45°, feels like 36°. Today's temperature is cooler than yesterday

How could the weather betray me like this

My cat's back paw with one of his little toes sticking out like a thumb because he has his claw hooked on the upholstery

The foot!

Pine cone-like growths on the stems of an oak tree (lobed stem gall?)

Closer look at one of the galls

Vaccines? My ancestors got along just fine without vaccines. I'm about to get in my giant truck to go buy toilet paper from a Costco that's 12 miles away, btw

@tjvanhouten.bsky.social how I feel talking to Joel

Watching 'Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen,' a show that somehow manages to be too dark to see even during daytime scenes
