Now that the leaves are starting to fall, it's easier to photograph non-wading birds. #birds

Thanks! Sadly, and inevitably, there will be fewer and fewer until Spring returns.

People in Ithaca sent a message to those who would normalize sexual assault on campus, paying a visit to Cornell’s main administrative building, Day Hall, which houses the office of the university president. If graffiti didn't change anything, it would be legal. crimethinc.com/KillPower

Day Hall at Cornell University vandalized early Monday morning, October 5, 2026, with graffiti reading "Smash the patriarchy" and "At Cornell, rapists are protected, protestors are expelled."

Liberal democracy is literally a DICTATORSHIP OF THE CAPITALIST RULING CLASS. The capitalist ruling classes sponsor bourgeois electoralism and put their pawns (liberal and conservative politicians) in positions of power, in order to ensure that every decision they make favours the capitalist class.

Saw a new turtle at Centennial Lake, Ellicott City, MD today. iNaturalist suggested "Chinese softshell turtle", which is possible, as it was spotted in Massachusetts in 2024. #trtlpix #turtles

A turkey vulture very politely flew right over my head during my walk at Centennial Lake, Ellicott City, MD today #birds
