I've started using Open Street Maps for navigation, and I love it. No ads. Polite warnings about crosswalks. Easy options for walking, public transit, and horse routes.
Telling people voles and groundhogs and whatnot aerate their soil and improve their plants over time which may be true, but have I ever looked it up? I have not. I just want the little guys to have homes.
Six foot tall weeds bring the dragonflies to the yard!
Certain things melt my heart, and Wimsey tucking her head against mine is one of those things. #caturday
A center of utter contentment.
(I'm sorry if I've been erratic with replies and everything. Health and mood have been erratic, and they've brought out my impulsive novelty seeking tendencies... You are all great, thank you for being patient, I am not ignoring you, I was very very grateful to know about the tent caterpillar mass, I just can't find the replies)
I'm in the sort of mood where I keep looking for little projects to start and not finish, and in that spirit: any recommendations for little shops sell basic star stickers and whatnot for rewards?

A star is actually not the shape of a single maple spawn, now that I've had a closer look. They're actually a spray of four buds on stalks connected at the bottom, with little yellow pollen heads on the tops. Sometimes the bases of the stalks are also connected. Flowers are complicated.
What's this thing on the wild black cherry tree? Northeast USA.
Got to gently harass a garter snake today, as a little treat.
Listening to the almost water-splashing noise of distant turkeys gobbling. #BirdCallOut
Body nonsense is showing up with fatigue and, bizarrely, an appetite that won't turn off! Never in my life experienced this, and it is weird. Doctor stuff has been initiated, and I continue to use what brain I have to soak up litRPG audiobooks. Almost like playing videogames myself!

@idzie@kolektiva.social I live in the wake of melted glaciers that carved the landscape into hills and valleys rife with their rocky debris. The trees around me are relatively young, white pines and red maples with scattered hickories and oaks, grown from land cleared for farms then abandoned. The undergrowth is lush and scattered with laurels, spicebush, and blueberries, with carpets of wintergreen, ferns, and sedges.

@checkervest I feel like the "Kenough" shirt I've been wearing since the Barbie film came out speaks for itself here.

@trachelipus@masto.ai @idzie@kolektiva.social I know we are in the same place and it's so cool to see the different focus. Also eeeee hybrid coyotes.

@handmade_ghost@sunny.garden what an amazing kitty to let you play with her mittens. (Wimsey says no to things like that)

@wanderinghermit@mindly.social @idzie@kolektiva.social coyotes, so you're in the US. Javelina, so south west ish. Maybe Arizona?

@danmccullough@ecoevo.social aw, a moment of feline peace. Always happy to read a Pippin story.

@8ofpentacles@posts.ashleymcquaid.com @danmccullough@ecoevo.social saw one fleetingly once!! I wish you an abundance of buntings.

@handmade_ghost it seems natural for birds to dance, but the way pelicans swing around their ungainly bodies and looking beautiful is a particular delight.

@AzureKingfisher@mastodon.art I want this for you, too. My wife had long COVID that made it so she couldn't walk more than a block without a metabolic crash for years until Zepbound turned out to help it. Being bedbound is a degree of magnitude worse. And. I'm so sorry.
We regularly swap around interesting fatigue and autoimmune studies in my little friend group if you ever want any of those you may not have already looked into.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space Wimsey the cat flexes out her claws menacingly, as if to say, I'll show you prepared.
