Golden hour crow 🤩🪶

An American crow perched on top of a chain link fence. The sun is coming up to the east and casting a yellow glow on the crow's feathers.

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

trespassing 🐾🛑 sticker design until the 30th on my patreon!

#art #indigenousart

a formline design of a wolf, coloured in bright orange. the formline wolf is laid over a few layers of a disjointed scene: a chain-link fence, with a snarling semi-realistic wolf drawn behind it; the top half of a concrete building; and lastly, a dark backdrop showing utility poles and street lights in the distance. a couple lights give off a lens flare.

This seems fake but it's completely real: Audio of Seattle's current Mayor dreaming of a giant computer-simulated Martin Luther King, something the King family has explicitly asked people not to do.
Big thanks to Erica Barnett for being the only reporter in town covering these events so closely!

Jackboots
#DOOMLOOP #seattle

GUY 1: Whats with the helicopters? Is Trump sending in the National Guard?
GUY 2: Nah, that's just the graffiti task force
GUY 1: And over there–is that an immigration raid?
GUY 2: Nah, they’re just doing a crackdown on street food vendors
GUY 1: When the jackboots come how will we even notice
GUY 2: Shhh, not in front of the surveillance camera

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

I never understand folks who complain abt how OTHER ppl protest. If you don’t like protesters to cuss or where frog suits, why don’t YOU go protest wearing a tuxedo and reciting the Magna Carta? No one’s stopping you, least of all the frogman, who will likely leap for joy for your involvement

It startles them at first but they get used to it. I always say "hello crow" 😂

Uncle Karen 💛🤍💜🖤 @mightbekaren.bsky.social · 4d

They may become uncomfortable when they notice you looking! But it's important that they notice you and see when you leave them a peanut.

Over time you'll get to observe their behavior, learn their personality, see their little family group. They're such cool birds. It's nice to know them, nice to be known by them.

Uncle Karen 💛🤍💜🖤 @mightbekaren.bsky.social · 5d

Eventually they'll tolerate you being closer to them. They'll probably start to follow you too. Don't be surprised if they swoop around you or bop your head with their feet. They just want to get your attention.

They don't need your treat peanuts to survive, so don't give a lot of them.

I do! They have their little territories. Show up where they show up, get to know the same crow. I do this on my neighborhood walks. Stare at them. They know they're being looked at. Give a little peanut (unsalted). Walk away. Observe from afar that they take it. Show up again on another day, repeat

This extremely handsome crow visited me today. Crow is not humble, nor should they be. 🪶
