I am not tall and I still have to alternate between soaking the torso and soaking the legs. I'm like a flesh seiche.

Interesting...I've never tasted one despite growing (and usually killing) them for seven years. Would love to try someday, maybe next year!

Ooh, fun photo prompt for October. Here's I found some of a squirrel on a hike through the woods. Raptor? Not sure. #SpookyNature

If the stream contains fish there are protections required like no equipment or clear cutting.

Everybody likes it, even the foresters. My agency is constitutionally mandated to maximize revenue, but within the confines of the law. When the law protects the stream, it makes everyone's job simpler.

Today I discovered some beautiful fish in beautiful creek -> riparian trees now protected from harvest. ✅ 🐟

I wonder if Bluesky has a custom labeler that you can use to help you remember things about specific accounts...

Counterpoint: you'd be a lot cooler if you lived near them.

Wow! It frosted on my car windshield last week, but the garden didn't get it. They're forecasting 80F even in Kootenai County on Sunday, which is obviously crazy.

I love them so much and if you don't I will be forced to fight you.

SUCCESS! It's a family of otters, one of my favorite animals ever.

I decided to set up a trail camera across the creek pointed at this rock in the hopes that I could capture a photo of the critters using this community bulletin board.

How do you identify them? I grabbed one empty shell while I was there.

I guess you're lucky to not be a small aquatic mammal or you might be violently acquainted with both.

What intrigued me about it was that it was advertised as a physical book, but like...how could a printer be involved? I see how A.I. ebook ripoffs could be made ad infinitum, but how had some business actually agreed to print illegal garbage for Amazon distribution? I still don't know. #booksky

When an actual physical garbage book arrived (much to my surprise) I pointed out to Amazon that selling A.I. ripoffs of wildly popular fantasy books was illegal. They refunded my money. So I guess I've still never paid? I've only skimmed it because the book is insultingly bad. Such a weird timeline.

Colton the fish squeezer🐟🪴📚🏕️🐝 @fishsqueezer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The only time I've ever (sort of) paid for A.I. was a time I saw a book for sale on Amazon that was such a blatant and audacious ripoff of Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive magnum opus that I couldn't believe it was possible. I paid $9 as an experiment to see if it was real.

A copy of Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings sits on a coffee table next to another book called The Way of Kings: a New Dawn by some made up author named Glenda Hidleston. The covers both have very similar and hilariously dramatic art of a caped guy with a big sword under a turbulent sky.

One time while I was electrofishing in a tributary of the St. Joe River I captured an Idaho giant salamander that was eating a water shrew. It spit it out into my net. I was very disappointed to have not been able to photograph it while it was in the salamander's mouth, but I can't blame it. 🦊🐍

I did read the editorial, so I'm sufficiently confused. With some more digging it appears they later became "game mammals" in 1970? I don't understand these tiers of hunting regulation.

Hahaha I mean, I guess she's technically trying to understand or explain something with the limited amount of information already available in her brain, which is commendable. But the steadfast refusal to accept any new information that might help you understand is very *gestures everywhere*.

It looks so beautiful, a wonderful memory regardless. And where else can you wet a line surrounded by bison? So cool.

Black bears in Oregon were apparently reclassified from predators (unprotected) to game animals (regulated harvest) in 1961, with additional restrictions on hound hunting and bait in the 90s.

I know, but in my defense I didn't approach the bear in order to get a good video. This is just what happened once I noticed it and let it get along its merry berry way.

Every time some families go hiking at least one kid ends up piggybacking on Dad. 🍄📷
