Hi. I'm Birdie and I'm a theatre professional who is occasionally about a billion other things including but not limited to a musician, a painter, a writer, a damn good cook, and a traveler. I wish words were physical so I could crunch them in my teeth. This is a blog an absolute mishmash of things interesting to me... fandom stuff, art, music, interesting political, medical, and science posts, cute animals, and homesteading and crafting stuff. Lately, it's started to morph into an art blog because in 2024 I started oil painting and I've been using Tumblr to trawl for inspiration. I am not very good at tagging, so follow with caution, especially if you're worried about harsh language, violent or NSFW images or medical stuff. I also don't censor words. I definitely understand this blog won't be for everyone just as every blog isn't for me, so feel free to block me, but I don't need to hear about it. Know that I respect your decision just as I hope you respect my decision to post what I want. Due the influx of bots making it harder to figure out if new followers are actual people or bots, if you want to follow me, send me a message or reblog a few of my things. Especially if your blog is blank. Otherwise I'm blocking you outright. I don't bite, I promise. Also please don't send me requests for money or gofundmes unless I know you in real life. As in, we could go get coffee together. I absolutely will report you since it's obvious you haven't actually looked at my blog. If you're interested in fanfiction for Hannibal, AoS, MCU, and Newsroom, find me under the handle Hesterbyrde on AO3. If you're interested in classical music, my music blog is @mygrandmotherspiano. If you're into Hannibal, I'm over at @drowningortolan. If you're interested in my painting you can find my stuff at @oilpaintingfortheendoftheworld
All-You-Can-Eat Buffet for this Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, a species I have found particularly skittish around humans (well, mostly me). Not this fella, and not today. He parked himself along the breakwall and feasted on crabs, his favorite entree. I had the good fortune of watching him for over an hour. Miracle. All of it. 4:50 to 6:00 am. 75º F. July 4, 2026. Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT. (@dkct25)
If you really care about preventing government tyranny, your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights.
And that's not a joke or an exaggeration.
If criminals don't have rights, then all the government has to do is find some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights. It's what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done.
If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you're literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.
“Who is the internet even for anymore?” is such a valid question. Companies are sanitizing the internet and stifling natural human expression in the name of child safety and being family friendly, but the kids such as fuck aren’t benefitting from this. The internet is becoming too childish for adults and yet still too adult for kids.
