The Whale & Dolphin charity that I work for (WDC) has it's Scottish office in the old salmon fishing station at Spey Bay on the Moray Firth coast - I always love going along for a visit, such a lovely area. #SpeyBay #MorayFirth #dolphins #fishing #Drone #RiverSpey

Chipping Sparrow
The camouflage on these birds is awesome. I also like the little crest of feathers on the head of this sparrow.
"The early naturalists had a gift for description you just don’t see anymore. In 1929, Edward Forbush called the Chipping Sparrow 'the little brown-capped pensioner of the dooryard and lawn, that comes about farmhouse doors to glean crumbs shaken from the tablecloth by thrifty housewives.'" - allaboutbirds.org

my goal is to be more like a mcflurry machine: accepted for being dysfunctional and celebrated when doing the bare minimum
US Politics, birdsite
Something I saw here lured me back to #twitter this morning, where I spent an hour or so making fun of Musk fans, telling catturd2 to rethink his life, Liking other people doing the same, and so on. As one does.
I suppose that puts money in Musk's pocket in some sense. And it's maybe not a great use of time? But on the other hand it felt good in a way, and there's part of me still glad that there is pushback against the insanity on the old site.
So I guess I'm still somewhat torn, and not yet entirely weened. :) Ah, well.

The tragedy of the commons is a pernicious myth.
The demise of the commons of Britain and Europe wasn't the result of misuse by commoners, but enclosing by the landowners. The original hypothetical was made up for storytelling purposes, and the term was popularized by an ecologist with anti-immigrant and racist views.
Here is my recommended reading for heading into 2023:

And these korbanot--these profound acts of drawing close-- can teach us a lot about what intimacy is, and can be. About what the daily, true acts of care and service are, and how they can draw us close to those we love most.

France is mandating clean air in the classrooms, requiring CO2 levels of 800 ppm. I hope this is rolled out in other countries. Apart from lowering #covid risks in the classroom, it will also address other respiratory issues. #CleanAir #COVID #SafeSchools

I just got a phone call asking if I wanted to be Speaker of the House? Does anyone know what that was about? Is that like Toastmasters?

If you’re in California and interested in weather I strongly recommend you follow @weatherwest. His newest blog lays out the likely impacts of the series of #AtmosphericRiver storms lined up to hit the West Coast in the next ~10 days. Those will likely be mostly positive in Central/SoCal but might include dangerous flooding in NorCal. At #TablasCreek we’re looking forward to this and don’t anticipate issues. But be prepared! #CAWx #CARain
