yesterday’s loss was gross and due to own-goals; let’s not pretend the Niners looked good. anyway, go Bills!

also fuck this super conservative play calling ugh

the refs have made this game unwatchable and are personally responsible for several players’ injuries.

I haven’t watched CBS since probably last time they broadcast Seahawks game and I completely forgot their television lineup is entirely copaganda.

biking to work today I hopped up on the sidewalk to avoid a back-up saw this poor window struck Swainson’s thrush on the ground outside of a brewery. 🪶

I gently picked it up, put it an empty shopping bag I happened to have in my pannier and got it to work less than a minute away. my classroom has a balcony (it was supposed to be a greenhouse but the district ran out of money). I gently placed it there, sort of hidden behind the empty bag.

I check on it between classes. after a couple of hours it started to perk up. by lunch it was gone! statistics aren’t great for window struck birds but I hope this one bucks the odds. I’ll follow up with the business about preventing collisions like this in the future. good luck, buddy!

Eight lifers on this Spain eclipse trip so far, including my main target - European bee-eater! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 🪶 #worstbirdpic

My god, the men on #TheValley make me want to put ALL men into reeducation camps. I’m a newish casual to Bravo but I do not know how all you OG girlies and gays dealt all these years. Braver than the troops!
