1) That's a stunning photo, and 2) I thought for a moment you were captioning your selfie as if you were the sheep.

Being a furry is the easiest thing ever. You pick the animal you wanna be and for all time your friends will send you pics or vids of that animal while saying "this is you🫵"

Hah, this was my life in Peru. Sitting on Today Weather, scrolling through weather forecasts from 30 public and private providers from countries all over the world, trying to find one, even one, capable of telling me that it's raining outside while it's raining outside.

tip brought to you by a bird who went straight out into city traffic my first time driving on the left (in Uganda), and who managed to pop a tire against the left curb within two minutes

Viridia @viridiaross.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Genuine tip: Plan to spend an hour just slowly driving in circles around the airport. Try to get used to sitting on the right, get a feel for where the sides of your car are (the left is a LOT further), where you need to put your right front tire in relation to the center line, etc.

If you can make the finances work, it's okay if you don't have something lined up. A job search takes time and brainpower, and it sounds like your current job is the thing keeping you so exhausted and beaten down every night that you can't even start looking. Leaving might be the only way to start.

You can do this. You have power over your situation. As long as you have a bit of money saved up and/or your partner is continuing to work-- you can leave. You don't have to keep being miserable.

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!"

You play your video games on “hard
mode?” That’s cute. I play them on
easy mode and get to solve the
same puzzles and see all the
cutscenes and dialogue.
The only difference is
you press X more to
do the same thing.

The quote is what gets me.
Arizona DOT installed a wildlife camera at Route 87's pedestrian crossing outside Payson last September. Standard deer migration count.  After six months, they had footage of zero deer and 147 clips of the same coyote pressing the crosswalk button with its paw at sunrise.  The animal waits for the walk signal.  Steps into the road.  Crosses at a trot. Every single time.  Biologists believe it learned by watching hikers at the adjacent trailhead. "It's not random," said the lead researcher. "That coyote understands cause and effect better than half our interns." DOT voted unanimously to keep the camera running.  The coyote hasn't jaywalked once.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is carrying Blue on top of his head. Blue looks wide-eyed and stunned, completely wrung dry and shriveled, hanging limp like a rag.
Narration: How to revive an oversocialised introvert:
1. Gently remove from crowds.

Green gently lowers shriveled Blue into a metal stock pot. The pot's lid is leaning against the pot on the side.
Narration: 2. Place in a chilled, dark and quiet place, away from strong smells and sounds.

Sitting down to wait next to the now lidded pot, Green reads a newspaper.
Narration: 3. Let simmer until normal.

Green turns to look towards the pot as Blue peers out, still not fully recovered but now looking much more like his regular self.
Green: Feeling any better yet?
Blue: A little.

To be fair, probably any such archive is hurting badly right now in proportion to how much they depended on federal funding. Who knows if the person who *used* to monitor that mailbox is still employed.

bird furries liking my designs is so flattering because they consistently know the most about their species of interest, they fucking LOVE birds, they will wax poetic about birds forever and tell you so many bird facts. No offense to you mammals but a lot of you need to step up your knowledge game
