That person at the party who won't shut up about birds. They/them. NYC.
I resent having to go to work today. I just want to sit at home and look at my idiot sons.
The receptionist at the vet just said “Snack Falcon. Snack Falcon! I love that name! It makes me laugh every time I see it. Can I meet him?” Thanks to @bombsfall.bsky.social for creating such a memorable setting that, years later, we named our food-motivated cats after the bodega and supermarket.
Imagine saying this without a single shred of irony. I wish nothing but misery on each and every person who worked toward this result.
My phone delivering powerful memories of dreams that never manifested. Maybe 2026 is our year.
Extremely pleased to see the birding community coming together this weekend to fundraiser for Birders of Palestine. My role was mostly in the "pledging funds to my friends' efforts" but I'm proud to have helped Jeana reach her 50-species goal as well. charity.pledgeit.org/2025fbcbirda...
My colleagues at Bird Inc remain undefeated in the "weird notes to each other" category, in this case posted above The Slowest Water Fountain On Earth. That, or my dad re-emerged on this mortal plane just to send me a hello in these trying times. 😭
Love it when I'm on a call and @zgrueling.bsky.social slides this across my desk. Going to demand people give me treats for every meeting I successfully attend going forward.
It's RTO so that means @robyniwitz.bsky.social is up to her regular hijinks
My colleague @robyniwitz.bsky.social draws incredible scenes at NYHQ. And then my pedantic ass rolls in and adds important caption information.
Incredible innovations in the toasted corn sector happening at work today
Gotta say, when you have to migrate (and rewrite/edit on the fly) a crap-ton of web pages, Sons of the Northern Darkness is an absolutely clutch choice to keep you focused.
My colleague just dropped this in bird Slack with the caption "I vant to eat your peanuts" and I've been wheezing for five minutes straight.
I've been doing this for years and yet every year it's the same damn struggle.
It's FEMALE BIRD DAY all weekend!!!! If you are a birding type, go outside and appreciate one of the most unappreciated birds on the planet. I promise you, it'll be fun. femalebirdday.wordpress.com
It's the very earliest days of spring migration and I am back on my bullshit
The only good thing about late February is that it's SEXY POTATO TIME
Absolutely terrible photo of 30-foot waves off Bodega Head. Haven't seen a sea like that for quite a while!
Cleaned out a very cluttered closet today and I think I might be ready for winter birding. (These were bought at different times so you know what my main concern is these days.)
This motherfucker tried to kick my ass and steal my donut.
