In Milwaukee, you can request the city install a bike rack. I know of at least four spots in the city who have bike racks because I requested them!

Oh! Yeah that makes sense... (Goes to change what meds are on the grocery list)

Status report, “Lunchtime Confusion, or How To Do ‘Technobabble’ Lesson” dep’t: …So this has to be a thing that happens to other people with similar developmental issues. …If you’re raised on one side of the Atlantic and live on the other, seems likely this might come up. (1/n)

I therefore went to hit the Greek words for “continent”, “utensil”, and “confusion”. …And this is why I will heretofore be referring to this issue as “ipeirogenetic skevioataxia.” …And if you have alternatives? *Knock yourselves out.” 😄 (7/7)

I woke up convinced its Saturday

But so the the electrician seems to think he can fix our problem, the biggest question is if he has parts on hand

Beautiful graphic with the text "The Biggest Week presents Birder Prom sponsored by Birds and Blooms, featuring performing artist and birder Bonner Black!" The graphic shows two birds anthropomorphized into human body shapes, with a Cerulean Warbler in a blue dress and a Blackburnian Warbler in a suit.

Obsessed with the unintentionally(?) queer illustration for birder prom that has both species in male-type plumage. A female Cerulean Warbler would be more yellow-blue than that pure soft blue, and the beautiful orange is a male Blackburnian Warbler.

like 200% more likely to participate now

Thank you for the red circle, I needed to zoom in to find it 😂

A day photo of rock formations with, I think, Cheyenne mountain, in the background. Brush/shrubs in the foreground. A Canada goose is perched on the top of one of the lower rock formations almost in the center of the frame.

The Canada goose in question, from photo 1. It's not good lighting but that's the goose.

A day photo of a red rock formation with a blue, cloudless sky behind. Trees and shrubs/brush in the foreground. A red circle is around a Canada goose that is up on the rock formation.

The goose from photo 3. I've never seen the Canada geese like this on the rock formations and I go to the Garden of the Gods a few times a month for many years now.

Went to Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs this morning and the Canada geese were in unusual spots maybe getting ready to nest? It was fun spotting them, way up in the red rocks, here a couple of examples.

DO HARM TO YOUR ENEMIES; TREAT YOURSELF WITH KINDNESS!

Cormorants are so neat

Welp

Looks like the time has come. The cormorants are ascending to godhood.

Tiny goats in tiny coats will boing away your Sunday sads.

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO?

Wow! Alt text is hilarious and perfect

Meme that shows a skeleton lifting weights, with the format: "my body is a machine that turns blank into blank" I've edited it so it says "my patch birding obsession is a machine that turns middling urban parks into hotspots loaded with rare bird reports"

When I moved to the edge of a 0.4 acre urban park, my goal was getting the eBird hotspot to 100 species (up from 92). It took me a few months, but the park's now at 112 species and I've personally seen 102 of them.

Y'all.

They do sound very distinct! Congrats!

Editor’s note: If you plan to solve the Sunday Crossword in this week’s New York Times Magazine, you will find that the answers will not fit. After the issue had already been printed, we discovered that there was an error with the solvable grid of the Sunday Crossword. A corrected version of the puzzle can be found on Page 25 of Sunday’s daily New York Times. We sincerely apologize for the confusion.

PSA: Your sneaking suspicions about the crossword are, for the one and only time in your whole life, correct!

Just a little reminder that security experts routinely say that biometrics are actually do very poorly as a security measure.

Not just for technical reasons, either.

Imagine a password that you can't change after being informed it was compromised in a hack on a company that forgot to encrypt shit.

I've been inches from being crushed by a tree. 0/10 do not recommend.

American Coots have started arriving and… good thing those giant, lobed feet are also pretty decent snowshoes 😂
