Today I lost a good friend. I wasn’t able to keep him with me due to noise laws. I raised him from a chick and spent everyday I could with him. Sadly, sometime in the past half month, he suffered from a foot injury (bumble foot? frostbite?) that turned gangrenous.

Sadly, the only option was euthanasia. Held him in my arms as he passed away. Mr. Bawkbagawk was my friend. I’ll miss him forever. #chicken #rooster #loss #poultry #pets #thewayofallflesh #interspeciesfriendship #goodbyemyfriend

Rinsed off the most interesting specimen; anyone know what mineral this is?

@svatli well, maybe discussing this when I’m hopped up on Benadryl isn’t the best solution to this issue. Lol

Still a very interesting article

@svatli it’s hard to put into words in a concise manner, mostly because I’m currently discombobulated and don’t have the words. I guess my main concern is that people might use this knowledge to grow cynical, and then discount the stories completely, when (whether factual or not) our stories have their own importance, and tell us things about ourselves. The experiences, of course, are also important, even if they are in our heads.

If that makes sense, but I fear I’m rambling l.

@catselbow well yeah, but he’d look cooler while doing it. If he’s going to be all judgy, at least he can be ‘80s action star judgy.

@catselbow I feel like it’s judging me. Someone put some tiny sunglasses on it!

@svatli interesting article. Although I can’t help but wonder if by reducing things to their basic components, we strip them of the things they makes these experiences special.

@GreenWitchTea those are some cool photos

@flickingfeathers noted

@flickingfeathers especially where I’m at in central Washington state. A lot of bow fishing pressure had made them super skittish. Still haven’t gotten one on the fly (mostly due to lack of effort lol) but I’m hoping this is the year.

@flickingfeathers great article. I don’t fish saltwater on the fly much (PNW is a bit too cold and deep for that) but I’ll definitely be remembering this when I target carp this year.

Too Late for Climate Greenwashing

However, their journey has just begun – it is in the complex, global supply chains that most emissions occur when manufacturing materials and products. As much as 80 percent can come from fossil energy in manufacturing processes

Trump's upcoming return to Twitter, and abandonment of the "Truth" Social sinkhole, has one redeeming feature: a reminder that the birdsite is not a place we should support in any way. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/donald-trump-ditch-truth-social-for-twitter-facebook-1234665307/

@KentuckyConjurer that’s a lot of words for “Tremors”

Well, here I am on Mastadon. Yet another social media outlet I’m not sure how to use. #doingmybest
