I got this perfect pin today from @nobordersbooks.bsky.social

A handmade pin-back button that is light blue with a pair of binoculars that has pigeons in each of the lenses. Words above/below the binoculars say “NO BORDERS YES BIRDERS”

You would think photographing pelicans at sunset would get old after a while, but I’m here to tell you: it does not 🌅🪶

The fact they could get that many New Yorkers to willingly go to Times Square just shows the severity of this situation.

Long-billed Curlews, San Simeon CA, September 2025
Two Long-billed Curlews foraging on the beach - large shorebirds with long necks and impossibly long bills - in profile, facing each other, their down-curved bills forming two arks, also reflected on the wet sand

I remade my sign from the last No Kings march that got stolen, but unfortunately my body decided to stage a revolt this month and I spent most of the last week in the hospital (I am fine), which means I have to stay home today, and I am bummed

Literal summary of my week
A still from the cartoon “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” featuring two kids dressed as ghosts, in white sheets, holding brown paper bags. The ghost on the left has 2 eyeholes; the ghost on the right (Charlie Brown) has several holes in his sheet, and is holding up a rock. Text over the image says “I got a rock”

They also brought a surprise bird for me, specifically - a cockatoo named Handsome, and yes he is fully aware that he lives up to that name.

Handsome hung out on my arm for a while and we took a lot of selfies, but this is the best picture I took of him 🤍
A cockatoo, white plumage with a crest, yellow underwing, dark gray beak, and very expressive almost googly-eyes, in side profile on a driftwood perch, beak open, wing extended out toward the camera

And this perfect angel is Celeste the yak 😭💖

(wish I’d taken better pictures of her outside the trailer, but I was a little distracted)
A young yak with shaggy black and white fur, a soft pink nose, and two little horns looks inquisitively toward the camera from her pen Close-up of the young yak in 3/4 profile.

This is Daizy 🖤🤍
A baby zebra standing with her butt to the camera, and head turned to the right, glancing back. She is in a gravel parking lot, with mountains and fog in the background.

I arranged for the dromedary 🐪

The dromedary’s name is Tulie - she sounds like a dragon, and I do think she is my soulmate
A woman with brown hair, wearing a black dress, blue denim jacket, and silver boots looking delighted as she pets the dromedary next to her (the woman is me, the dromedary is named Tulie)

Elephant Seal, San Simeon CA, 9.30.25
A juvenile Elephant Seal (without the signature trunk), perched on the shore where the water has just receded. The seal is “sitting” up, fins out to the side, just barely touching the ground.
