Okay Bsky. A request from a new friend I met at the conference today! I asked about his rad shirt and he said it belongs to his coworker's dad who always used to wear it to this conference and so he borrowed it. But he wants to see if he can find one for himself so he can match his friend's dad lol
A photo of the back of someone's shirt. It has a colorful pattern featuring various birds such as owls, crowned cranes, hoopoes, looks like there's a zebra finch in there, some parrots, a chicken maybe? And vultures? I think I see a stork and maybe even a pigeon. Lots of birds

I feel like getting rid of the chairs for TSA agents at checkpoints is a form of violence. It's also just... pointless? Doing it for nothing more than "optics" that no sensible person cares about.

The colder autumn nights in Germany coaxes this magnificent eagle, Oropherion, to spend his nights in his heated indoor winter aviary. This is an African Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus), the largest eagle species native to Africa. (Cr @birdsofprey_nathalie_denolf) #birds #eagle

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Loaf: ❌ Baguette: ✅
Picture of a white with grey stripes cat lying down on a white and blue patterned bed. You can't see the creature's paws, which some people would call "loaf" but it is lying his head down on the bed, so he's being described as a baguette instead.

Photo of a beautiful and round silver tabby cat laying on his back on a white carpet. Sam is perfectly positioned in the nook where the floor meets the wall to hold his spotty belly in the perfect angle to the sunbeams and to prevent rolling when he falls asleep. His head is back so his little white chin is getting sun, his paws are curled up in pleasure and his back legs are outstretched. Sam feels completely safe.

We report: there are flocks of birds in the sky at nightfall again. The days are still warm, but they are getting short, enough that we have to look out for the height of the sun in the late afternoons. Our export reminds us that the autumn equinox is in a few days.

We report: since we came up to the mountains, we are now in the land of the clouds. Although one might refer to this weather as « a downpour », we like to think that we are « mapping the clouds ». We have not been able to take notes in the heavy rain, but we are paying attention.
