Still watching eagles, thinking about whales, yelling at the snow, at the world, but now also listening to the new Squeeze album 💚
Also here for all goat news
Info panel showing a lass in a wheelchair about to get munched by a leviathan because she's too busy looking at a sperm whale.
God this is such a rookie error. Bluesky ALWAYS ALWAYS check there isn't a leviathan sneaking up behind you when you're booping a sperm whale
Perfect time for baking!
If you need me, I'll be trying not to be too distracted from work while watching these bald eagles prepare their nest. This is being broadcast from VINS, a wild bird sanctuary and education center, not far from where I live in Vermont: vinsweb.org/exhibits-act...

oh... thank you... I'm in tears right now, but it's good. it's good. And I'm grateful (and for you, as well).
A poet friend and I are "meeting "(via text) once a week and write for 10 minutes. No sharing. No discussion. No judgement. Just being there for each other. And so I've written. For the first time in nearly 2 years. Not without tears and pain. But it's a start. I feel loved.
Fairly overwhelmed and I don't have anything to add to the conversation that isn't already better handled by so many others, but you can definitely count on me to share whale content.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Exeunt, leading Katherine.
Here’s some good conservation news: the first amphibian crossing tunnel to be built in New Hampshire.
“It’s very exciting for us to see that this community science data, this data that’s been collected by volunteers over many years, is being used to inform lasting conservation solutions.”
It was recommended to me by a bookseller who generally likes the same books I do, so I have high hopes.
The Ferryman and His Wife - have you read it? I just got it.
"A member of the crew wondered whether he believed places have feelings."
they lie at all times, all scales, in all ways, and so we have to adhere to truth at all times, at all scales, in all ways
I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.
But...we are strong...and getting stronger.
The absolute best days are spent this way.
