I like prog rock/jazz fusion, dogs and ice cream. Avoid using clichés like the plague. Atheist.

Nazis should be punched in the face. AFT.

I often post pictures of birds and other random objects to offset my doomscrolling. (Pictures my own unless noted.)

I'm still on my first cup of coffee when Costco shows me this in their ad and my first thought was *not* "handshower"
A picture of an ad for a handshower that, if you squint, looks kinda noosey

The coot meets Monday with its head down as it swims in psychedelic ripples of fresh rainwater. Ain’t nobody gonna catch that food for you.

The silhouette of a black bird is seen just before it dives underwater. The water has soft ripples and has a swirling abstract pattern.

When the news gets to be too much I try to get out into nature, before the rich people screw it all up.

I caught a few good pictures of the Eared Grebes (aka Black-necked Grebe) yesterday including this one that had just found something to eat. Love those bright red eyes. 🤩 More pics in the comments.

A bird gently swims in the water with an insect (?) that it just caught hanging from its mouth, looking quite proud. The bird has a grey and white back with a straight neck supporting its black-and-white head. It has bright red eyes and a pointed bill.

Weird. It’s like I’m suddenly tired an hour before my usual bedtime. Good night.

Here’s our Halloween pumpkin this year, “carved” with the help of the neighborhood squirrels 😂🎃🐿️👻

#halloween #pumpkin #jackolantern #spooktober
A pumpkin has been desecrated by squirrels with the eyes and mouth barely discernible due to the entire face having been chewed away by the tree-dwelling rodents. There is a red light shining from inside the pumpkin.

I love it when ducks dive down to look for food and their little webbed feet are left paddling air 😍

How’s about we put together a bsky crowdfunding effort to buy CNN?
Headline: “Futures of CNN and HBO at stake as Warner Bros. Discovery announces it’s open to a full or partial sale“

Ummm...
A red and white striped chair and ottoman... geezus, I don't even know how to describe it. It's all curvy and looks like it has a huge bosom at the top of the chair. It's got high, rounded armrests on the sides and front of the chair almost looks like crossed legs if you use your imagination. It looks like the kind of furniture that will be out of style as soon as it leaves the store.

Favorite sights and signs from a very peaceful but exuberant protest crowd today in Mountain View

#NoKings #protest
A woman is holding a sign that says “I have a dream” and it shows Trump being led away with his hands and handcuffs behind his back A woman is wearing an inflatable costume That looks like her riding the back of a big giant chicken. She is holding a sign that spells out TACO: Trump always chickens out. A man is stressed as a baby, with an orange shirt and orange shorts which are down around his ankles. He is wearing a blonde wig and a mask that makes him look like Trump. Hey man is holding a sign that says“elect a clown get a circus”. Also pictured is Trump wearing clown make up.

I like these cute little Killdeer, they look like they’re all dressed up. They do seem a little camera shy though.

#Photography #Nature #birds #wildlife
Two midsized birds are walking on the dirt terrain as they hunt for insects or seeds. They have a white chest and a brown back with two black stripes around their chest and neck. The nearest one is turning away from the camera, while the one in the background seems to be looking towards the camera asking itself. “what is that guy doing?“
