New research by Michael Pocock and colleagues finds that "Nature-based citizen science is more than just a way to gather environmental data: it benefits well-being and nature connectedness of participants, and (when in combination with noticing nature activities) pro-nature conservation behaviours."

I left some post stamps on my desk. I forgot that some of the #IdąPsięta dogs can climb on top of a tiny doghouse standing next to my desk. Guess someone won't get their postcards. [the two mauled stamps commemorate an old Polish comic book series "Kajko and Kokosz" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajko_and_Kokosz]
I wonder what made this hole – there were a few of them in the area. Vuko didn't try to dig so I assume whatever it was it isn't below that ice but just walked away :)
I'm watching the discourse about labor on that other site, and talking about states relaxing child labor laws, etc.
And still no one is willing to admit that the labor shortage is largely caused by millions of dead and disabled people who have "left" forever and are still... exiting the labor market every day. We just can't say Covid is still wrecking us every damn day.
I'm completely ignorant of sportsball stuff, but I can at least offer a #superbOwl to honor this day!
This is one of the barred owls keeping us up at night with their hooting contests. Up to 2 feet tall and with a wingspan of 4 feet, they even prey on smaller owls. I love how they - despite their size and noisy socializing - glide completely silently between the trees like ghosts.
Zondagsrust...
Fijne avond allen.
A lovely evening all.

How could I not participate in #SuperbOwlSunday .😉
A tiny #PygmyOwl for your enjoyment. These little guys are about the size of a sparrow and are #diurnal #owls rather than #nocturnal.
Zoom wanted everyone to know that as cute and dainty as she looked standing on a mushroom, she's also really fast!
Surfing @ActionRetro ’s http://68k.news on my Atari Falcon030 and keeping up with the events of the day.
Today was quite warm – around 3°C – but this ice is very strong, and even if it broke there's no more than 30 cm of water under us. And we're just a few hundred metres from our warm house.

Fuck nazis.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
