Well, I guess that will reduce my use of Bluesky on my phone... it wasn't loading posts, so I closed it and re-opened and it wants my birthdate. I don't know why it needs it, but regardless it won't let me give it to it (my browser session on my PC is still working, hence this post) #bluesky

Was taking rapid shots of this short eared owl, and I have no idea what they did with their feathers in that second shot 😀 #Birds
