I fucking hate the stigma surrounding birdwatching. Birds are fascinating, intelligent, and social creatures, and they constantly do things you wouldn’t expect.

Today, in the US Virgin Islands, I saw a pelican diving into the ocean for food, a pigeon digging determinately in the sand, and some weird tropical bird tossing mustard packets into the air over and over again.

    Do you have any bodies of water near you? You could buy an inflatable paddleboard for ~$200 and just float in the middle of a lake reading, listening to music, or meditating. Or smoking weed. I’ve tried them all and they’re all great!

    Sounds like it’s time to establish a viable third party. Obviously, that is easier said than done, and many would consider it impossible. But left-wing sentiments continue to grow in popularity and we must not resign ourselves to a fate without challenging it!

    It’s crazy to think about what a viable third party would look like, and how it would get off the ground. It’s tragic and says a lot about the world we live in that the only way I see it happening is through virality — memes and influencers — but then, how is this campaign funded in a way that competes with the corpo vaults, and how do you get the right people onboard?

    For me, it was hiking to a waterfall in Costa Rica with no food and only one bottle of water. THANK FUCK it rained; we would have been in trouble if I couldn’t have had sips of water from the leaves to stay hydrated, and if the temperature had stayed as high as it was.
