Red Crowned Amazon parrots. Not very happy to see me on the porch. Pasadena, California, Dec 23, 2025
#birds #parrots #pasadena

Two green parrots on a branch. Both parrots are bending forward, facing left, as if they are about to take flight. The parrot on the left is spreading its wings and both parrots are spreading their tails. The parrots are mostly green with lighter green tails. The foreground of the phot is partially obstructed by the edge of an out of focus tile roof.

"We will rebuild" is repeated a lot after climate disasters nowadays. Sadly, i don't think you can "rebuild it back like it was" and expect different results and a repeat nowadays.

Personally, I think the Japanese have the right idea with "Tsunami Stones"

Smithsonian: These Century-Old Stone “Tsunami Stones” Dot Japan’s Coastline

“Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point.”

Image shows etched stone with grave warning about dying of tsunamis if you build a home below that location

Oh, this is now my favorite shorthand

Etm.

(abbr.) Latin abbreviation for the literal translation of “and shit”, specifically, “et merda” Just like “etc.” (and so forth), “l.e” (that is), and “e.g.” (for example), “etm.” can be used to abbreviate “and shit”

Despite Republicans constantly wailing about crime in cities, crime is down.

So weird. It’s like they’re just trying to scare the crap out of their base. 🤨

The #library card is *the* emblem of a child’s standing in civic life: their direct access to a public service, not mediated or controlled by others. The library card grants rights to the politically voiceless and powerless.

It’s more radical than the idea of #democracy itself.

Another local radio amateur down with COVID-19.... appears to be a local surge within my social circle (he got it from his wife, who caught it at a funeral... or he got it at the same funeral and only showing signs now). Worth missing this one, mask up. No one is enjoying being sick, and we already have a number of folks with long COVID, no need to add more. #covid19

FYI: Make sure you give your lovely elderly neighbour a copy of "Love In The Time Of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marques, in Icelandic, so that when you inevitably misplace your key, you can buzz her apartment, safe in the knowledge that she will be pleased when you show up, wanting to talk of her youth.

Ho Ho Ho.
F*ck Hate.
