Unless it’s a chicken sandwich with real mayo and you walk outside for hours during a heatwave…

Also, increase in brain fog. Which directly leads to increased need for cognitive impairment accessibility on the web, and everywhere.

Thanks Steve.

Spending $1,500 on vet at a routine visit wasn’t on my weekend’s bingo card and yet here we are. Whether or not the lump is malignant, it probably needs to come out. 10+ YO isn’t a great age for surgery for my service dog 😱

What a shot! The light is glorious. The composition really nice.

@sentimentbot.bsky.social What vibes do I give out?

Thanks Glen

Looking for recommendations. I have too many peripherals and things are a mess!

I'd love a hub where I can plug in, say, 10 different USB-C cables. I don't use all the items at once, so power isn't a super issue. And I'm not too worried about data transfer speeds.

Does such a thing exist? Where?

Stunning! I've only ever seen one of those. I think it got blown out from a storm because it was about 300 Km inland on a large lake.

It was far - Never could make out such detail.

The eye is intense!

You'd be better off running down the stairs with a 12" chef knife ;)

But but but.... They are DESCRIPTION lists, don't you know? 😂

A great blue heron viewed from the site. He's standing on water. There are a few branches and grasses sticking out of the water. He's lit by the warm light of the setting sun.

This Great blue heron is walking on water. Frozen water, that is. And I wish him luck fishing through the thin layer of ice. He was full of confidence though.

@painteroflight.bsky.social puis-je vous faire une suggestion au sujet de votre texte alt sur vos photos?

Ahhh Lainey... I'm learning that nothing is obvious and common sense isn't so common... The world as we knew it seems to be evaporating at speed :(

If it’s a porker of a bad link, it’s a hyperloink

And once more someone in the neighborhood is accusing everyone with a large dog to have let their dog poop on their front lawn.

Turns out, neighbor across the street has a Ring doorbell.

Plot twist: It’s a coyote. He obviously can’t read the signs “No dog poop on grass”.

🤦‍♂️😱🤪

They always sound so aggravated 😂

A kingfisher on top of an old wood pile that is capped with old aluminum. The sky is uniformly grey behind it.

Belted kingfisher. They always seem like they are upset at something. This one kept going into the Fraser River and not catching anything!

I’m still experiencing trauma from a job that ended 8 years ago…

If you don't know how, I wrote a quick guide: nicolas-steenhout.com/alt-text-soc...

A long time ago, a colleague in a staff meeting pointed out that some sounds were very distracting. Even the sound of a soda can being put back on the table was problematic. Since then, I put a tissue on the table so my drinks don't make too much sound. Helps for remote calls as well! #inclusion

Ok, je dois admettre, ça m'a fait rire 😱

A great blue heron in flight, viewed from the back. He's flying low over frozen waters and a bit of land with long dead grasses. A Canadian goose is partially hidden by the grasses. We can see one wing spread high and wide and her head.

Much noise resulted when this Great Blue Heron that I was tracking flew over a Canadian Goose nest. The heron CROAKED. The Goose SHRIEKED. I hadn't noticed the Goose there 'till that happened 🤣

A coyote standing up and facing the camera. Its fur blends into the yellow grasses.

I caught this coyote out of the corner of my eye as I was driving on an errand. Luckily, there was a place to stop and I had my camera. And the coyote was kind enough to wait for me to take its photo before turning around and taking off :)

Close up portrait of a big black dog’s face looking up at the camera while having his head on my leg. His muzzle and chin hair is getting white.

A smoochable face! My very cuddly service dog off work.

Oldman is so, soooo good in that role.

Fuck hoomans who walk their dogs off leash.

I cannot take the risk of walking my service dog on public trails because of it.
