       I dunno, I really love this park, but do you think they could get some woodpeckers in? 🤣(These are just the picidae that I got photos of *in the parking lot*.)#Oregon #CentralOR #BirdPhotography

       Here are a couple of the dozen-ish Lewis’s Woodpeckers I saw once we got past the parking lot. 🤣 #Oregon #CentralOR #BirdPhotography

       @futurebird I never saw them until I moved to the Midwest for college, but they’re kind of amazing! I tried to describe them to someone from back home and could only think of the phrase I’d seen on computer game loading screens: “reticulating splines”. That’s what they look like.

       @futurebird Well, on this island, do I have a volleyball or anything else I can daub a human face on? 🤗

       My sister: What year did you visit Austin?Me: How am I possibly supposed to answer that?! How would I remember a year? Time is a flat circle! It…wait a second, we saw Prometheus for the first time at an Alamo Drafthouse. 2012.Movies are one ruler for the stretchy wiggly timeline of our living memory!

       @art My extended family used to go to a movie after Thanksgiving almost every year, which was convenient for this purpose!

       This was the Widow Garret’s reaction to us trying out the various options on our new door bell chimes. I know, Alma, I feel like that about people coming to the door too!#CatsOfMastodon

       Every time I read that another tech CEO wants to make his company into an Everything App with passport-rigorous real-world ID of users, I think of how much I hate it when people try to send me actual important communication via Facebook messenger. Every tech CEO thinks he's going to be dictator of his own little corporate state, but really we're just all going to be more isolated because all our family members chose (or got hired by) different walled gardens and never just send an email.

       When I show you this photo of my cat Alma from last night, you may infer from her expression that she is up to something. However, that is unfair and inaccurate!She is up to multiple things.#CatsOfMastodon

       While I had a phone call with my allergist‘s office about the continuing saga of trying to wring effective asthma meds out of my insurance company, this bundle of allergens was making lovey eyes at me and sweetly extracting pets. You are so worth it, little kitty! #CatsOfMastodon

       I may actually have seen my first red-shouldered hawk! I jumped the gun and posted on here that I thought I had once, but decided it was two red-tails and Merlin SoundID mistaking a northern flicker.But this bird (pardon the terrible quality: my most silhouetted photos of the day, so I've had to blast them to bring up the plumage at all) really makes a more plausible California red-shouldered than a red-tailed! Any opinions? (Greater Portland area, #Oregon.)#Birding #hawks #WhatsThisBird

       @futurebird I’ve been reading them too! I read a few when I was a teen but figured “enh, I guess I’m a Douglas Adams person”. I’m really enjoying them now, despite some winceworthy moments (especially in an orientalist vein). I have been using a complex reading order so I can deal with my library’s long hold times/gaps in availability on the excellent audiobooks. I love the witches ones (both the text and narration) and I’m putting off reading the last one of those so I won’t run out.

       @futurebird I grew up and live in a state with a small black population* (Oregon) and have never heard ‘ambalance’ in the wild that I can recall, so, anecdotally?*(I swear I am used to hearing Oregon called the whitest state in the union but playing with the Wikipedia data table, it looks like we aren’t even the least % black (#10) and we are #22 for percentage white. So I guess there are lies, damn lies, and vibestistics?)

       Random #recommendation! If you are at all a fan of the sort of Iago narrative where the main character is dastardly but you want to see what he does and whether he succeeds, you may like 1968 quirky small-town crime thriller Pretty Poison, starring Anthony Perkins and the incomparable Tuesday Weld. She is fantastic in it! I recommend going in COMPLETELY UNSPOILED! Really. Content notes: some ungory violence, suspense; and a creepy age-gap (25 year-old Weld plays a 17-year-old girl.)#movies

       Someday I will explain ancient times to the young ones.“And to change out any of these 5 compact discs, you had to stop the car and open the trunk!”“If you wanted driving directions from the Internet, you had to print them out in advance!”“We were ashamed of our president. Really! George W. Bush seemed the most foolish, thoughtless, and embarrassing president we could have!” I’m not sure they will believe me.
