Once upon a time, my aunt and uncle took me to an amusement park and told me I could visit any attraction I liked. My aunt suggested the wild rapids ride. My uncle suggested the space roller coaster. I asked to sit in the quiet little chair under a giant tree and watch a young man cut peoples' profiles out of paper. Me, circa age ten. #ThrowbackThursday

I accidentally bumped my ISO settings before taking this shot and apparently uncovered a new species of vampire heron.

One of my favorite eldritch creatures, the green heron. Fifty percent heron, fifty percent Tiffany lamp, and one hundred percent skulky bridge troll.

"Most people know more as they get older;
I give all that the cold shoulder.
I spent my second quarter century
Losing what I had at university
And refusing to take in what had happened since.
Now I know none of the names in the public prints,
And am starting to give offence by forgetting faces
And swearing I've never been in certain places.
It will be worth it, if in the end I manage
To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage.
Then there will be nothing I know.
My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow."
--Philip Larkin, "The Winter Palace"

@kellyromanych@mastodon.social Lovely! This is one of the first birds I learned to identify by song, and I once followed that song across my neighborhood and surrounds until I finally spotted the wren in a tree by the river (my first time seeing one and knowing who I was seeing).

I've been waking up every morning with this little earwyrm from my summer gaming. It's not a favorite song or anything, it's just that it's like I've been isekai'd to an anime groundhog day experience where I'm stuck repeating my first semester as a new student at Gekkoukan High School every day.

@FIAR_Light@beige.party My vampire is actually a green heron (it's hard to tell in this light, but the streaks are red and the eye yellow). Really wonderful birds. There are juvenile night herons further along the river in this area, though. They are so fun and funny to watch! The epitome of gawky teens. 🥹
Here's that green heron in slightly better light. I just love how wacky and lovely they are.

I'm looking for something like but an alternative to Google's Recorder phone app, something that both makes/keeps a voice to text transcript and makes/keeps a voice recording (to go back to whenever transcript is wacky). Hoping for at least moderately accurate and portable (phone app), with no (or disable-able) ai and preferably no cloud req. Any friends or friendlies have something they use/trust/recommend? Thanks in advance for any recs!

@SaguaroLynx@c.im I've heard that new editions changed the date! It's a story that's stuck with me across most of my life (I also originally encountered it in a library copy of The Martian Chronicles).

I think this little glittermonster is a purple hairstreak! The kite-tail-like faux antennae in back are a clever bit of misdirection for predators.
