cranes

I saw some sandhill cranes in the yard not long ago. There was a juvenile and two adults. They are common in the area, but I've only seen them in the yard once or twice. Photo taken with my phone, through the blinds.

Guardian:
他这个人呀,个性太深沉,喜欢哑巴吃黄莲, his personality is too serious, he likes suffering in silence
明明是荒诞不经的一个故事,却可以写得细致入微, obviously it's an absurd story, but it depicts the finest details
因为错过的方法片面的视视角就歪曲了事实,甚至因此伤害到了别人. his mistaken method and one-sided perspective bent the truth and therefore ended up hurting people

Me:
哎哟,这么麻烦。
没有证据,因此就不能把他抓住。

Birdfeeding

Today is mostly sunny and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, plus a squirrel up a tree with a walnut in its mouth.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden and some of the savanna seedlings.

A few sunchokes are blooming.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work on the old picnic table.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 9/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the yard.

strangers only

Name:keplers_angels




Age:40s




Location: US




About Me: I was born at livejournal where I went to escape loneliness and to worship loneliness and to tell my darkest secrets to intimate strangers. I am here for interactive relationships. It makes me sad when I read people's posts and become invested in their lives and they don't reciprocate. That's not why I'm here. I don't want to follow people-- I want to feel less alone. If you're not going to read or comment, I don't want you in my feed - I can just watch tv.




About My Journal: Sometimes it gets explicit without warning. Or dark. Or beautiful. Or even optimistic. (lately it's gotten pretty sexy) Not every post is warn-worthy but some things I talk about that might trigger: sex, infidelity, menopause, child sexual abuse, suicidation/depression, mathematics, feminism, breasts/mastectomy... In general, I am an adult (with all sorts of glorious and effedup flaws) and I will not avoid talking about adult, glorious, or effedup things.





What I Write: posts are frequently poetry or poet-y. Often on themes above. Catharsis is important to me. I write to process. I use language as a weapon, as a seduction... I'm drawn to the surreal. The poems of my own that I like the most are love poems, sex poems, or poems that feel like psychadelic sci-fi vignettes. I also have a recurring alter-ego character who lives on the tundra and flies an airship. She pops in from time to time (but never on invitation.)





What I Don't Write
: I like to believe that even when I'm posting to vent about whatever nonsense I've gotten myself into that it's interesting or well-articulated. I try to not write boring things or boring-ly. I do however repeat myself (we'll call it recapping) or conversely, refer to things that I never explained. Also I sometimes forget to close parentheses, and always use too many ellipses. I don't write fanfiction here. (though I may mention it once in a blue moon.)





What I Read:
IRL? sci-fi, dystopia, science, math, education, poems, mostly female writers on principle. On DW? I read my friends page maybe weekly? I always catch up. I read it all. Unless someone isn't interacting with my posts -- then I will be sad and not read them either and eventually unfriend.


What I Don't Read: Fanfiction outside of MfU, other journalled works of fiction (usually) as I'm really here for more personal and autobiographical confessions, poems, and exchanges

FFA DW Post #2348 - Ass Eels Anon II: assier, eelier, nonnier!

 
Ass Eels Anon II, second of their name, continuing the dynasty.

It's still so fucking funny. Of COURSE Other Ass Eels Nonnie thought everyone was talking about them... They saw a bunch of nonnies mention a nonnie known for talking about shoving eels up their ass and thought, "Well, who the fuck else could that be?"

Code deploy happening shortly

Per the [site community profile] dw_news post regarding the MS/TN blocks, we are doing a small code push shortly in order to get the code live. As per usual, please let us know if you see anything wonky.

There is some code cleanup we've been doing that is going out with this push but I don't think there is any new/reworked functionality, so it should be pretty invisible if all goes well.
