my guess is something to do with springtime, but i'm not sure

today seemed to be some sort of crow meeting day. 30 or more of them seemed gathered near the tops of trees, mostly gathered around 4 to 5 trees within visible distance of each other. lots of cawing.
no swooping attacks at each other.

one or two crows would fly off in a particular direction, then one or two more in another direction only to come back within 5 or so minutes.

eventually 4 came over to our house (and i do believe these 4 to be the regulars that stop by our house daily) while the rest stayed at the tops of trees that i could see from my porch. i was a bit nervous, not wanting to be swarmed by the whole pack, but i gave them a bit of food in our regular manner, which they gratefully accepted and flew off with.

i want to see this teeth exchange

i gave my crows some lime shrimp for the first time recently and they are so funny about it. they hold it in their beaks and touch their tongues to it over and over again before putting a bunch in their mouth and then fly away

there are like 6 bald eagles flying around my house today

watched one land on a tree, next to another one. and then a third swooped at it with its claws and they both tumbled to the ground before catching themselves with their wings and swooping up and away

dude literally said "it's not possible to have self-consciousness without it involving mediation through language" and hasn't backed it up with a single thing

of course it's the marxists acting up, too

getting mad at the human supremacists today

dune 2 is definitely better than the first but it still leaves me with relatively little to think about by its end, none of its messiah and power problematics feel juicy enough and none of its visuals have that psychedelic edge that i feel like spice should lend itself towards.

Those Who Walk Away From Omelas is a revelation of the sacrificial-machine as the self-legitimating center point for justice (or any other concept that works to transform acts of subjectivities, individuals and institutions into something that's "for the good of the whole")

our dog is getting dementia and nights are getting harder for her :c

what i think i sounded like: "well you see like, there are characteristics and then there are extrinsic relations, right? and each set of extrinsic relations composes you as a power and part of a power, right?"

what i sounded like to the auto-transcript-generator:

one of the questions they asked was "who are you" and i swear to god i rambled for minutes trying to answer it

yesterday a friend came over and interviewed me about my crows for their class

The Curse is genuinely one of the best and most horrifying shows i've ever watched

what i'm saying is let me curate a perfect feed from twitter without making me go to twitter

like without those websites starting to use federated technology, yknow?

i wish there was a fediverse instance that let me like, API-connect to other social media sites so i could choose to get a stream of my other site's feeds and could interact through the fediverse posting on the other social media site.

I also really loved this bit about their family's morning ritual and the author's transforming relationship to that ritual
