Such a busy mama! It's a full-time job keeping the nestlings fed with fresh berries and a few insects mixed in for protein. The young are growing rapidly and are much more active now, which concerns me, as their nest is right above my pond. White-collared Manakins #birds

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

Here’s a poem about the miserable weather.

Today’s Weather Forecast
 
After a wet start to the day,
rain will give way to intermittent showers,
interspersed with outbreaks of rain.
 
There will be further pittering and pattering
as the morning progresses,
alongside some spitting and splattering, 
spotting, stotting, spithering, sprinkling and tinkling.
Some smirring and sneesling are also likely.
 
Any dabbing, dotting or damping
is expected to die down in the late afternoon,
when the heavens will open, the clouds will burst,
and it will tip it or chuck it down.
 
Please note there is a risk of falling buckets,
stair rods, pitch-forks, chair legs, cats and dogs at this time;
sheets are also possible.
 
The deluge will finally let up in the early evening,
when some much-needed wet weather will sweep in from the west,
resulting in relentless, never ending drizzle.
 
Tomorrow’s outlook: rain, with occasional intervals of rain.
Summary: nice weather for ducks.

Sometimes you just gotta wear a sign to advertise how you feel. Especially after a momentous accomplishment such as clawing your way out of your own grave and smelling sweet outer air once again, at long last, after so very long
