peachfront

Senior parrots, birds, birding, rock swaps, crystals & stone-cutting. Sometimes I write funny dialogue for the birds in your photographs. I read books, & I vote!

Formerly known as Peachfront on Twitter & Instagram, & Amethyst Qu on Medium.

Haven't owned peachfront.com domain in years but you may find my old trip reports at peachfront.diaryland.com.

Pro Tip: Diaryland does not have any www's.

it is a very large ginger colored owl that hunts along the river but it's pretty rare, the locals knew our birding tour was coming so when they saw it they told us where to take the boat and look for it

The value of the dollar is collapsing. Job reports falling well below expectations. US GDP shrinking. US credit rating downgraded.

The reviews are in, Donald Trump still s*cks at the economy.

Let’s be clear:

The people saying “Alligator Auschwitz” are not blowing things out of proportion. They are not putting words in MAGA’s mouth. This is a clear and explicit endorsement of the mass murder of an entire identity group in the US.

And yes, obviously she is “joking.” Of course she is “joking.” But with quotation marks. She is not joking.

Screenshot of BlueSky post:

Laura Loomer: “Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.”

El Norte Recuerda comments: “The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.”

he wanted the big tax cuts for himself, if he can confiscate the wealth of all of the other oligarchs for himself (& in theory he can) then there is no reason for Stalin not to Stalin

there are lots of ways to seize Elon's assets under civil forfeiture, i've thought of several myself, but jailing/deporting the guy would just be the icing on the cake

at last, a GOP policy I could support

SpaceX should have been nationalized years ago...

Wait until Trump finds out that he can denaturalize and deport Billionaire immigrants and TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL CHUNK OF THEIR ENTIRE ESTATE.

One of the most delightful birding moments I’ve had was seeing three Piping Plover chicks last year, so I thought this little one would make a good stand-in today for my son on his birthday.
