The flock of bushtits (and their occasional chickadee cohorts) that come through the yard every afternoon is so delightful. A peeping entourage of gently upbeat revelry that is not unexpected in this locale, but always a nice surprise. Like at a popular outdoor bar in some alternate reality where roving frat parties are actually enjoyable to encounter.

Here they are a few months ago at the bath. #birds #birdbathcam

thank you 23andMe for sending this ridiculous email to remind me that I should have unsubscribed long ago.
The most common comment on this vid (besides “Where can I buy one?”) is “This as a cookbook.” But my favorite idea is “This, but for DnD.”

A very thorough overview of Mastodon iOS apps, including this insightful graph that gives you a sense of development activity for each of them.

On that note, the winner in most of @transponderings’s categories appears to be Toot!, but it hasn’t been updated since Feb 2021 which is slightly worrisome. Hoping @tootapp are still awake over there and ready to respond to the new Masto influx!
