I’ve been hearing them the past couple of weeks, only caught them flying by. Just needed to water the lawn and call them all in apparently 🤣 for some reason bluesky cut off the beginning of the video. I love hearing them and spotting them when I can, such beautiful colors & patterns!

Both Red Dead Redemption games are my all time faves. The characters, story, and world are all so insanely good and as nerdy as it sounds, they had a huge impact on my life. So to finally meet the voice actors for the two main characters (John & Arthur)?! Cloud 9!!! I’m still smiling about it

Went to a fantasy/renfaire and came back with a dagger. First time ever going to one and I absolutely loved it!

The Gap Fire by Inkom now has an evacuation order for the area of W Old Hwy 91 & Old Canyon Drive. It’s up to 200 acres. Sounds like the FS was using a helicopter to drop some water on it as well. Haven’t seen any official statements, but it all started along the train tracks. #IdahoFire

Put a blanket down on the floor because the dog’s been having a rough go of things lately and hasn’t made it up on the bed. So of course the cat made home right away

Shortly after I started work with the FS, we practiced with the router for making trail signs. After some struggle, I got the hang of it. Carved my name and you best believe I brought that home.

It truly hurts to see the agency I worked for posting propaganda. (I know all agencies are posting these on their websites, and it’s Trump’s doing)

This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.”

Howdy y’all. I’ve been trying to limit my time online and doomscrolling. It’s really scary out there right now, especially as a trans person. I’ve been spending time with the critters, reading, and writing. Tomorrow is a nature day (if the weather holds). Hope you all are well and I’m sending love ✌🏼

Sums the feelings up fairly well
Screenshot of an instragram post by the user ‘che_jim’ that states: 

“Charlie Kirk was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country.
Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate.
I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that.
In this situation, my empathy is reserved for his children.
May they grow up to live in a country that is the total opposite of everything their father envisioned.
May all
of our children grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously and reject any person who would try to justify senseless gun-related deaths - especially the deaths of children.”
