They should call it dinosauring instead of birding.

This image shows a natural forest environment, likely a wetland or swamp, with a group of white birds—possibly white ibises—gathered on the forest floor. The scene is misty, suggesting an early morning or humid atmosphere, with trees and scattered branches framing the birds. The surrounding vegetation includes palms and other plants typical of a subtropical or tropical ecosystem.

Aurora over north Georgia. I could not see it but my iPhone could.

An aurora appearing over the skies of north Georgia, with a vibrant gradient of colors transitioning from deep purple to pink near the horizon. Stars are scattered across the night sky, shining brightly. Below, a line of trees and bushes are illuminated in subtle hues of yellow, green, and red, contrasting with the colorful aurora above.

🌀 Baywalk boardwalks at Ken Thompson Park are closed. And the fishing piers. Also, the Ken Thompson memorial plinth is gone. #Sarasota #Helene

Turns out all those nature words we were worried about being removed from the dictionary are now found in the kids' apps and games instead. #endlessoceans

Today I'm bringing back The Butt Political Spectrum ™ What is A Butt? How do you even define a butt? Tag yourself I'm Butt Chaotic

a chart showing animal butts with a slider going from pedant, normie, inclusive, chaotic.

1. butt pedant: must fulfill all 4 criteria

it has a hole, in the rear, round, expels waste
the bear & baboon butts are butts

2. butt normie: must fulfill 3 criteria
image of a bird cloaca
it’s a hole, in the rear, expels waste
also used for peeing & mating
the bird’s cloaca is a butt

image of a clam siphon
it’s a tube hole, in the rear, expels waste
not round, but inflatable
the clam’s siphon is a butt

3. butt inclusive: must fulfill 2 criteria
image of a squid funnel

also used for jet propulsion
the squid’s funnel is a butt

image of a sea anemone’s butt

it’s a mouth, also an anus, it’s a manus
the anemone’s manus is a butt

4. butt chaotic: whatever you want it to be
