Random #ItchyEars #PeriMenopause observation: 1) if you have night sweats & your ears itch, your sweat is probably feeding a fungal ear infection 2) try using the anti fungal cream before bed 3) wipe ear shells dry with washcloth after showering, inside and out This helped my ear fungus.

When I was stumbling around in the mallee, surrounded by budgies, I looked up to see this wedge-tailed eagle cruise right over me. It was probably looking for budgies too. Gluepot Reserve, South Australia.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in the hallway of their apartment building, negotiating over a butterfly sitting on the ceiling.
Blue: You could climb on me and get the butterfly with the jar, right?
Green: Sure.

Climbing on Blue's shoulders, Green pushes the jar up towards the butterfly.
Green: Almost there... Why did they put the hallway ceilings so high up?

Caught off-guard, Blue and Green both freeze in place as a neighbour appears.
Green: Oh, hello neighbour. Just doing some bug rescue.
Neighbour fox: Ah, I see.

Back in their own apartment, Blue and Green release the butterfly from their balcony. Blue frowns in frustration.
Blue: Why do we only bump into neighbours when we're doing something weird?
Green: Fate?

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who is nestled comfortably within a large purple bean bag chair.
Green: How's the bean bag chair?
Blue: Comfy.

Blue watches in silent horror as Green jumps into the air, about to dive into the chair as well.
Green: Make way!

As Green dives in, Blue is launched into the air by the force of Green's landing.

Now cozied up in the bean bag chair, Green watches as Blue flies off in the distance, barely visible as a shred of colour on the sky.

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

I got a lot of knitting done on my vacation. These are arm warmers. :)
Two knitted tubes with dangling stitch markers at the ribbed cuffs. Each is made from fingering (thin) variegated yarn in black, charcoal, amber,pumpkin, and flame. 

Each tube is 7.5 inches long at 8st/inch.

My favorite part of this is that I literally just read an article in the Sunday paper (not this one) about how Target is working on their grocery department to make up for a couple of bad quarters and the article NEVER MENTIONS WHY. The boycott was completely left out of the story. And then...this.

Yesterday was my first sparring class in Tang Soo Do. Thoughts: The foam helmet holds my glasses on but is stupid hot. A torrent of sweat drips ran down my left temple the whole time. Ew. I am lousy at scoring points. Head and front chest over belt level acceptable , shoulders no.
