I'm noticing my ranty political posts travel faster than my positive ones. Let's break that trend.

Boost this after you reply. Let's see if this can get as far as a politically charged post.

People don’t understand bird watchers.
I do it because I don’t trust birds.

Hi all, my wife Annie is researching exceptional computer/video games for kids (ages 5-12) with equal parts entertainment value and social emotional learning (#SEL). This is for a #devcom talk she's giving. Can you offer any recommendations? Thanks!

It's a good one so far :)

new episode!

Trans people are such a small part of the population that very few medical studies are done on us. As a result we end up learning more from each other than we do from our doctors. And that's MESSED UP. So let's talk about it.

Writer, director, & actor Ava Davis joins us to discuss jelly beans, and finally feeling at home in your own body. Also you can't surgery yourself so please don't try.

I did get out early this morning, and spent a couple of hours in the park before work. It was slow at first, despite the apparently heavy migration last night, but I wound up sitting for 40 minutes or so at Azalea Pond and the birds came out one by one; 11 warbler species including nice views of a Bay-breasted and a singing Tennessee Warbler.

I ended up with 40 species on the day, and one new species for the year, Lincoln's Sparrow.

Research Article
Knitted origami
Elizabeth L. Wilmer

"Techniques are presented for embedding horizontal, vertical, and45◦diagonal crease lines into garter stitch knitted fabric. While theseare mostly based on standard lace knitting stitches, the horizon-tal creases use double-cable-crossed elongated stitches in a non-standard way. This crease library suffices to knit a model of a squaretwist, a foundational origami tessellation unit."
