Hi, I'm a photographer who focuses a lot on birds (mostly waterbirds), self portraits, and forest scenes. I talk politics, disability and mental health sometimes and make bad nerd jokes.

I cw for things related to politics, health (though mostly not my experience with disability), violence, food, drugs, alc, spoilers. I use the sensitive media tag on anything lewd/selfies/violent/common phobias.

If how I post is a problem, I won't be offended if you block/mute me.

Definitely need to do something about the hyperactivity in enclosed spaces/close quarters since she's going to be upwards of 50kg soon enough 😬
Already got her leaving the kitchen whenever I go in there and start pottering, Wednesday set a great example on that, she'll rarely go in there when I do. They both learn so well! I'm so proud

Going to be a novel quirk having dogs that want to hold hands all the time

Teaching our dogs to hold my hand when they want affection so they don't get so overexcited and risk knocking me over now that luna is getting so big. Wednesday is so high energy I can't even calm her down to just straight teach to chilli the fuck out.

It'll be a challenge to prevent them pawing but giving them something to do that requires staying still is absolutely going to help deal with it

Catching shit for not getting involved in politics for a while, given all going on, fascism etc, and not for the first time.

Before you criticise someone for something you personally feel they're not doing enough, consider that they might have a mountain of hell going on that they're not wearing on their sleeve. Familial deaths, mental health crises, physical illness...It's not up to you to decide what they're capable of coping with, and shouldn't have to share it's going on or justify it.

So if you grow sunflowers and they've gone over/started to dry, consider bagging up the leaves and stalks and giving them to your local small animal rescue.

Maybe even just leaving them outside with a sign saying free sunflowers for bunnies or something.
These kind of things have a tendency to be quite pricey, so it's always nice to help out pet owners where you can, and save yourself space in your garden waste bin 😊

Today is a great day for my bunny. A day she is actually happy to see me. No grumps! Like bunny Christmas. Why? SUNFLOWER HARVEST.

Sunflower stalks have a pith in their centre. When they dry out it's like a fluffy marshmallow substance. They go absolutely bananas for it!

As well as cutting them open and pulling the pith out, you can also dry and leave the stalks whole to give their teeth a good work out.

The leaves also dry easily and I've yet to meet a bunny who doesn't love them

(I am actually present on here btw, not just cross posting. I use it to reduce the amount I have to use my hands, and just mostly lurking in most places atm beyond media posts)

Had to redo the door on the right since I completely fucked it, but it looks ok. Nicer than clear glass

Everything kinda sucks but here's the puppy playing with Wednesday ♥ `
