An Eastern Grey Squirrel from my walk today. It was a Bird Walk today, but I can't help myself if I see a Squirrel.

A flood covers the Earth, and a spirit named Nanabush asks the animals to dive for mud to recreate the land. After many animals fail, a muskrat succeeds. Nanabush places the mud on the back of a giant turtle, creating Turtle Island. #WetTribe #TurtleTuesday #TurtleIsland

Folks—I’m enjoying Mastodon, and especially the turtleisland instance. It feels very ‘community’ over there. I realized that I personally don’t need Bluesky, and really disliked the latest anti-trans nonsense. I’ll pop in from time to time.
