Birds, paleontology, food, & Star Trek. And mythology. And languages. And table-top games. Also most other things. I just like most things, okay? they/them/any

@evornithology I didn't vote in this poll but it says that I did? It chose Binocs for me, which is not what I call them. I usually say Binoculars, but on occasion I use "nocs".

Anyone want an invite code to the other place? (ive got quite a few stored up) It's pretty nice so far, but it definitely needs more people.

Also I've noticed people never mention it by name....so I didn't either. Is there a reason for that?

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

@MollyCohn Ah, awesome! I hope they stick around till tomorrow afternoon 🤞

@terrordroma 100%

@elizhargrave Ah! This is so cool! I would love to read a comic in this setting 🤔 it's such a great theme. I can't wait to play it 😁 also helping pollinators is a fantastic bonus.

I got a couple of Bl*esky codes if anyone wants one. It's been pretty nice so far but it still feels kinda empty.

@sciencewithtyus For a while when BLM started making headlines my brain always went "Wait, Bureau of Land Management is doing what?" at first.

@evornithology I listen to audio books on my commute to and from work, doing chores, etc. But it's pretty rare that I have the time/energy to read a physical book. Though I guess I read hundreds of kids books 🤷‍♂️

So, I've been doing #AvianAugust but I haven't been on Twitter much. I've been posting on insta and the sky app. But here's what I got. #AvianAugust2023

Went to Patuxent Visitor Center today, and it was absolutely perfect out. Also got some cool pics of this cutie. An Ornate Masked Bee, I think. Some Hylaeid, at the very least.

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

@elizhargrave Aaaaaah it looks amazing! I can't wait to see all the art

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

@brdcsstlbtt @inaturalist Makes sense.

Look at this gorgeous Cuckoo Wasp one of the kids pointed out at camp yesterday!

@baggins_bow I remembering watching this years ago thinking it was about birds. It was not, and I can't remember anything about it other than that disappointment.

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

@terrordroma 100% true

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

Look at this beauty! I feel a bit sad that people don't always have/take the time to really look at the small beautiful things all around them.

@AlHendiify I say either pond skater or water strider. Water skaters sometimes?

@thebirdsguy @ABA @MerlinBirdID @Team_eBird @MassAudubon @USFWSBirds @USFWS @ABCbirds @audubonsociety @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides Where was this?

[Another Matt @rine_matt]

@WorstGirlEva I see where you're coming from..
But Common isn't English, it's whatever language the players all speak. That's why it's called common, so they don't have to list out every human language?

Lingua francas are real (though often colonial) so why not have one in fiction?
