A quick digital drawing of the new starter Pokemon, Brownt. It is a small yellow green bird with a green beak that extends upwards into two leaves for the eyebrows. The pokemon looks like a puff ball with grey legs. Done in Krita. The outline is dark green. “Sb” is written small underneath the pokemon.

NEW BIRD POKEMON
he’s so grumpy

and now I feel like I'm selfish for thinking about myself and not the lady who may or may not have overreacted at the library. idk because I didn't fully witness it!!

wild how much getting yelled at by a stranger wrecks my mental state

a patron interaction went down really poorly.
ended with a lady yelling f-bombs at me because another patron was rude to her

I get being upset, I was struggling to shut that fellow down, but maybe don't take it out on the person trying to help

#library #libraryproblems

Does anyone else read in this way...? Cause I honestly would like to stop, but it's like I can't help myself lol

#booksky #books #reading #librarianproblems ???

I like to read by "sampling" books. I'll read 50 pages or so before switching to another book, then back to the original, then maybe a third one, adding in more and more. Eventually one book wins in the tournament for my attention, and the rest are dropped until the champion has been completed...

Choosing between Talarico and Crockett was ridiculously hard, but I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to vote for them at all

Mr. Oliver is a balm on my soul… oh, thank you for returning to us 🙇‍♀️ #johnoliver

We did it!!! I’m so excited to actually have a rep that represents me

BREAKING: Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat, just won the Texas SD-9 special election,

He just flipped a district that Trump won by 17 points and that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the legislature in 36 years.

Despite Trump’s personal endorsement and sustained push for Leigh Wambsganss, Republicans LOST!!

After reading King Sorrow, I have to wonder... is Joe Hill a birder?

#Booksky #KingSorrow #JoeHill

Today is election day for SD9 in Texas!! It's a runoff and closer than ever before, so get out and vote!!!! #texas #politics #uspolitics #tarrant #TaylorRehmet

A digital drawing of two Blue Jays. One is standing on top of a brick mail box with a small pile of peanuts at its feet. There is one peanut in its mouth. To the right of the standing Blue Jay there is another one flying down from above. Its legs are outstretched, but much of the bird is a blue and grey blur. The eye has been drawn with a twinkle in it. Above the standing bird there is a speech bubble that reads "Am I in danger...?" Done in Krita.

Blue Jays are such wonderful little jerks

A Blue Jay is standing on top of a brick mail box that has a pile of peanuts placed on it. The bird has one long peanut in its mouth and is holding it just at the tip of its beak longwise. The bright blue colors of the Blue Jay stand out against the dull background that is made up of yellowed and out of focus grass. The mail box is primarily a washed out pink color.

Move along. Nut-thing to see here. 🪶

An American Crow is perched on top of a brick mail box that is covered in a layer of ice and sleet with peanuts on top. The crow is facing the viewer though slightly askance. It is looking at the peanuts with a "serious" looking expression.

He's serious about peanuts

A digital drawing of a Cedar Waxwing in a cartoony style over a flat, pale pink background. The bird has its back to the viewer but is looking over its shoulder. It has a pale brown upper half, while the lower half is grey. The bit of visible belly is pale yellow. The tips of its tail feathers are bright yellow. Attached to the edge of the secondary feathers are small red little points that the Waxwing gets its name from. The bill is dark grey and the bird has a black mask going across its face. The feet are dark grey. A small "Sb" has been written underneath the bird to the right of the tail feathers. Done in Krita.

trying things out. I like the silhouette of this one more than the actual drawing lol 🪶

I am fucking sick to my stomach. State-sanctioned killings of citizens…

A digital drawing of a male Mallard in a cartoony style. It is facing forward and standing on a rock that hasn't been shaded. The duck has a green head, a rusty colored breast and is primarily grey in the body in wings with a small bit of blue, white and rust in the wings. Done in Krita.

A cartoony drawing of a Mourning Dove. It is a pale brown bird with pink feet. It has a few darker gray/brown spots on its wing. The eye is drawn in an extra large oval shape. It is dark gray but surrounded by a thin light blue ring. The beak is drawn as a long oval and is dark grey as well. Done in Krita.

idk, modo 🪶

I wonder just how many people are going to have PTSD in our country because of ICE’s actions. This is causing massive amounts of trauma in the affected communities. Even if everything stopped today, people are still going to live in fear because of it. Idk. Just sad thinking about it. #politics #ice

A shot or two Cedar Waxwings perched on a thin branch with broad, oval shaped leaves. One leaf is in between the two birds, who are facing one another but blocked by the leaf. The sun is shining right on them and their eyes are closed. The birds are mostly pale brown with a yellow underbelly. They have crest and black masks across their eyes. The tips of their tail feathers are bright yellow.

A flock of my favorite birds stopped by

Lord God Bird - Orion Magazine Does the ivory-billed woodpecker still exist?

Like many birders, I have a fascination with the IBWO. I desperately want to believe that it's still out there, but I think it most likely is gone.

Those of you with MAGA family members… how do you cope?

This makes me feel ill…

We're the baddies.

Drove out to a prairie to watch the first sunrise of the year and search for a Burrowing Owl! Success!!!

Happy New Year!!
