I could’ve been titling these with that this whole time! Dang! An entire metric dang! Okay, so my boss and I had our weekly check-in meeting; without ego, I’m good at my job, so there isn’t really a lot to go over job-wise, and eventually we get around to Current Horrifying Events1. Optimist-with-a-budget that I am,...

I came to work this morning to learn that a coworker—almost a decade younger than I am—had lost her father over the weekend out of nowhere; combine that with ICE murdering and kidnapping people amidst the fascist overthrow of my country, the literal country-wide protest in Iran that’s cost hundreds of lives and is...

YES HELLO I CANNOT STOP FUCKING SNEEZING LONG ENOUGH TO DO A PROPER BLOG TODAY. Okay uh, here’s a thing: I was invited to hang out with some pals of one of my pals!

I. I work at a law firm, and we’re presently orchestrating a settlement...

I am today filled with DEADLIEST ENVY, specifically of Mrs. Columbo, She Who Is My Tiny Wife, against whom I have no defense and who, by law, is entitled to a bite of whatever I’m having1. For today she enjoyed a privilege known to few, but dreamed of by many: SHE GOT TO PET SPUD THE FRIGGIN’ CAPYBARA. Fuck, it’s...

Okay gang listen I am a very casual birder: I’ve got a Sibley’s and a NatGeo, a pair of extremely decent store-shelf-grade binoculars, and I don’t generally go anywhere beyond a 3-mile walking-radius around my human home; y’ain’t findin’ me eatin’ oatmeal on Attu in neon pants, is my point. NEVER THE DANG LESS, I...

Antecedently: Holy water cannot help you now; #attemptacle; Isaac inflicts 6d12 guilt damage, keep the fucking change Just a reminder: An asshole would like to fight us!

2026 has announced its arrival with an UNPRECEDENTED birding-boom; in addition to the visit from a Guardian of Ga’Hoole on the first of the year, yesterday brought me this brand-new homie! This handsome little weirdo with the Poirot mustache is apparently the only flavor of woodpecker that doesn’t…peck woods??? They...

Look if I’m gonna do a post every day we’re gonna need to get a little more liberal about what constitutes ‘effort’ and ‘content’ and ‘language’.
