Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 2hI have a mild obsession with whaling. Not because I think it was good--it was horrid, whales are sentient beings. Yet I still just yearn for that era in American life, maybe because I want to and have just left and gone across the world. I always took Moby-Dick with me when I traveled. 000 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hJackie the famous eagle had bird flu. This had made people mad at the vets who tried to help her; "you couldn't cure flu?" Reminder that bird flu is not like human flu to birds. They don't get a cough, they hemorrhage. They turn into bags of blood. Those people did their best with her. 000 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hSometimes I really miss Kenya. 2015. 6 weeks tent-camping at the extraordinary fossil sites of Koobi Fora. No internet! No contact back home. I yearn deeply for an era without social media; I have tried getting rid of it but unfortunately news and such is so intertwined now. I flash back often to it 010 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hI traveled through Qatar once (hadn't realized who I was so used women's toilets; trans man) and not only was it impossible to see into them, I felt like I could comfortably live in the stall. It was huge. The US really needs to deal with its bad designs 😂 000 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hI think what you are doing here with your advocacy and reforesting and the animals is wonderful. I know it's really hard. I hope you stay. Once I get paid I'm going to make a dent in your MA. It won't be everything but I hope others step up too. 💚 120 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hYep, I was about to try to make a follow-up about how trauma doesn't end. I have cPTSD so I get that, definitely. Dang this character limit 😆 110 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hI knew someone in high school who was a foster kid and it was clear her takers just did it for the tax write off. Very abused. We did our best for her at school but we were kids too. I lost contact with her in college. Put me off "adoption" forever. I'm so sorry you went through that. 110 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 10hMy dog cried for days after I got him because he missed his mother. It was real. He's an excellent dog, devoted and wonderful, a therapy animal as well as a working dog, but I would never dismiss that separation. 120 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 11hYep. My dogs are dogs, not people. I love them absolutely but they're not people. I despise the term "fur baby". Have I taken the role of parent/leader in their minds of our little pack? Yes, but I'm not their actual parent and they know that. People are so disconnected from the natural world. 210 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 11hIf you ever have the urge to visit, I bet Magic City Books downtown would host you. I don't go as often anymore since I moved west, but I bought Absolution from them back when. 010 0

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 11hInside again. I hate it. I do get to watch the dogs though. I take baths at hotels because we don't have one at home. One of the dogs hates watching me take one. He cries. I don't know what he thinks is happening. 010 0

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Desperately need people on this show who are from like Philadelphia to stop saying they're "from the south", like where I'm from I worked for a guy who shot squirrels all day and my dad won a boat in a bass fishing tournament and there's feral boar getting hit by cars, no Philly ain't south 000 0

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Cannot stop watching clips of Hell's Kitchen, help. I think it's because I'm on a diet of rice cups, tuna, and ramen. I want seared scallops with a whatever the fuck puree sauce dammit 000 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Oh damn, lmao. A well-made video game is an art form! Improved hand-eye coordination + experiencing a story just like reading a book. Hell I sometimes break out my Pokémon and Spyro just to relax, if we're talking "childish". That person sounds sad and dull. 130 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I didn't want to do it because we're in the weeds with this job, but I'm inside today. Woke up dizzy. Can't play with that in this heat. My second has the crew out and I trust him. Weather should break tonight, from 100s to 68 tomorrow! We should fly. 80 holes a day is reasonable. 100 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I prefer reform over destruction re: NYC carriage horses, but it's done. I doubt those horses go anywhere good. Astounded by the # of people saying "send them to a sanctuary" uhh...they're not tigers. Domestic animals cost a lot of money, especially if they're no longer earning any. 010 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026They kind of played down Seabiscuit's pedigree too in the film. A grandson of Man o' War out of a Whisk Broom mare was not some dirt pedigree, lol. Actually very good, and he ran to it. I love the film but my obsessive racing fan brain has to correct. 010 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I need new guy to stop detailing his every thorn scrape to me. There's a way you learn to walk in the woods. Not saying you'll never get a scrape, but there's a way to do it and do it quickly that's not just blundering around getting spiders in your face and thorns in your thighs. 010 0

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026If I made a game called Survey no one would play it. You have to dodge the spiders at face level and the snakes at boot level and also not get stuck in thorns or fall off a cliff while simultaneously constantly judging landform disturbance and spotting stuff like rusty metal cans in the leaves. 100 0

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Won't post the photo because dead animal, but we found a massive rat in the forest today. Like, longer than my boot. Snake-bit, pretty clear double puncture wound and signs of hemorrhage, so rattlesnake. No sign of the snake. Never seen a rat dead or alive just wild before here. Kind of cool. 000 0
Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 14/10/2026And Secretariat's height was average, 16.2 hh, he was just oddly wide. Even Zenyatta and Phar Lap and Midnight Lute were not 18 hh.

Dayspring @transgemsbok.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Game of Thrones: in the last season they're re-firing "dragonglass", which is obsidian. You cannot melt obsidian, it was formed by volcanoes. You can knap a bigger piece into a shaped weapon, but you cannot heat and work it like iron or steel. 3993 0
