All right, let’s address the tit situation. You’ve left me no choice.

In bird names like blue tit, great tit and coal tit, the word tit traces back to an old Middle English name titmouse, which simply meant a small bird. In Middle English it appeared as titmose or titmase, where tit was a word for something small, and the second element came from Old English māse, an old name for these little birds. Over time speakers confused mose/mase with the more familiar English word mouse, even though these birds aren’t rodents at all, and eventually dropped the second part altogether, leaving just tit in the bird names. This shortening still survives in British usage, while in North America titmouse (or chickadee) is still used for many members of this family.

The Old English māse is part of a broader Germanic family of words for these lively songbirds: it survives today in German Meise, Dutch mees and Swedish mes for the same kinds of small birds. The related French mésange ultimately comes from the same cluster of medieval names.

As for the completely unrelated modern English slang word, tit is connected to Old English tit(t), Middle Low German and Dutch titte, and German Zitze, and probably began as a nursery term, perhaps echoing the sound made while suckling. Meanwhile, Swedish mes has taken on a figurative sense of a timid or weak person, which is extremely unfair to the actual birds, many of which are bold, acrobatic and surprisingly feisty at the garden feeder.

And that concludes today’s lecture on the tit situation. I fully expect the jokes to continue. I just hope you will now deploy them with proper etymological awareness.

The way that subtle undertones of color are brought out by the camera in these photographs.... It is truly unique to me, as I have not seen the exact effect before, and truly beautiful. ^-^

This is beautiful! It reminds me of a trip that I took to Alaska a few years ago! Also, the last photograph is of crowberries, which are absolutely delicious. When I was around Soldotna, I purchased an incredibly informative foraging guide (not an ad, I just LOVE this book) and had an incredible time making use of it. It's this one!

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it

another total lunar eclipse (blood moon) is occurring in 3 weeks on the 3rd of march (morning in the western hemisphere, evening in the eastern hemisphere)

anywhere within the yellow boundaries will be able to see the entire total phase of the eclipse lasting 58 minutes, while anywhere within the red boundaries will be able to see at least part of the total phase during dusk or dawn

I would not expect to gravitate so intensely to pieces with this color palette, but these pieces are truly wonderful. They have a healing energy about them. <3
