This is just too good an idea not to share.

Please share here and elsewhere, and let your local food pantries know about it so they can give out the URL during turkey drives! ivacheung.com/2025/09/afte...

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

A unique look at the Pilgrimage of Grace. I listened to the audiobook. Highly recommend.

I’m not crying about being retired and not going to ACES. I’m grateful to have been able to retire thanks to how ACES helped me in my career. If you’re still in the editing biz, you should go.

Night night sweet dreamies

Some days are just too much.
Let them be.
They won’t always be.

You don’t have to fix everything tonight.
It’s okay to rest.
You won’t always feel this tired.

I promise

Time for my annual Covid/flu Vaccine PSA for Toronto folks:

If you have mobility issues and need a vaccine at home, Toronto Paramedic Services will come to you! You don’t have to be a senior to qualify. (I was referred by a TPH nurse but self-referral is fine)
