four things: great blue herons, bookbinding guillotine, mommy baby tyrant serf, learning things
one
oh my gosh?! I just learned this week that great blue herons, though they mostly eat fish, will also eat "amphibians, invertebrates, reptiles, mammals, and birds"
here's links to a sequence of three photos of a blue heron eating a least bittern. it's WILD. (content note for these photos for animal death!)

You can also find photos of great blue herons eating crocodiles if you search online for it!
anyway this is why I need to do more reading about very common birds, because there's just so MUCH to know that I won't necessarily pick up from watching the ones I see around me!!
two
finally took the time to figure out how to use my manual guillotine for trimming text blocks for bookbinding; I got it secondhand and it came without a manual.
and it turns out to be remarkably straightforward!
LOVE it.
more bookbinding projects to come!
three
a very important way of conceptualising relationship frameworks for your blorbos: mommy baby tyrant serf
anyway Mei Changsu is determined to be a mommy tyrant but you put him with Lin Chen who can outdo the mommy tyrant in anyone, and Lin Chen wins. mcs does not get to mommy tyrant back at him. and this is why lin chen/mcs is such a fun and funny ship!
four
it's so cool to be able to learn things over time! you start knowing nothing and if you just keep putting effort and energy into the thing then you grow in skills and knowledge! and there's always more to learn, but it doesn't have to be in an intimidating way, it's just like.... the world is out there offering. and you get to explore! you'll never not have the opportunity to experience the joy of seeing yourself grow!
(yes this thought is about birds. but it's also about anything you want it to be about!)
