The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

I think it's mostly timing, so you have to repost yourself, but then people often have reposts off or use a Feed that doesn't show them-so you have to hope someone else sees and shares so more see that and share from there, or quote your own post. People also seem fairly adverse to resharing

I wanna be critically clear: this whole account's deal is an amazingly beautiful simpsons assassin AU, and has less than 300 followers: unserious website, you know nothing of art

Condolences, maybe next time-and in the meanwhile I'm sure the Tory MPs for the area will do a great job, this time, definitely, for sure, it's different now because...

Very cool style! I like the thicker outlines helping the MC to stand out against the background

It makes their little attempts even cuter because they're still just doing their best and the ones that bother with more complete nests are like the genius pigeons of their generation 😂

The nests thing is that they evolved from rock doves, so all they needed was one or two twigs to stop eggs from rolling away off the cliffs on which they nested. There was no evolutionary pressure as a domesticated species to change much, so they still only bother with a few twigs in general!

Got to try and remember to bring one from my country for you when I next come to the UK then (no exchange or whatever wanted), because the stuff here is amazing

Oh definitely! City crows are fun to say hi to, because they're so used to being invisible/ignored that many of them will do visible double-takes at being acknowledged 😅

Well worth watching all the way through... pretty sad to see the poor crow's reaction to it all. And add to that, other birds, other wild animals, pets, humans (especially those with PTSD)...

XD; thank you, I completely failed at making it clear it was a painting-but I'm also really happy in a way that people constantly mistake it for a photo, because it feels like it means my rendering skills (for this piece, at least) were just that good. I love to make the unreal look real!

And the local wildlife, especially the bird life. Alternatives like laser light drone shows are just cooler anyway!
