These damn near fully-grown “teenage” finches flying around my yard following their parents and begging to be fed a seed they could easily take from the feeder themselves make me chuckle.
Dang, Khan Academy explainer vids are such a gift.
Family started questioning me about zeroth power exponents this morning over breakfast…and I was not explaining very well. Sal Khan to the rescue! Now they’re like “Oh yeah, it makes so much sense!”

I don’t know if this is just normal middle age status, but I get a real charge out of watching all the youngsters do crazy flips and dives at @therivieraclub diving boards. Been a fun summer with my kiddo here.

My neighbor told me that if I will plant a maple 🍁 in the yard to replace the glorious jewel of the neighborhood that previous owner cut down because another neighbor complained about leaves, the whole ‘hood would gather around the planting like the Whos at Christmas.
In 10-20 years it’ll help my calculations with @carbonneutralIN , too. Bonus! Definitely doing this in the spring!
Been really into animals my whole life; tried lots of different pets growing up; didn't discover until adulthood that all I was ever really wanting were dogs and cats: strange and furry little aliens to bond with and consider full-fledged members of the family.
I have an indoor/outdoor cat. I am sometimes conflicted about this, but we found her in an alley 19 years ago. I have trouble believing that her life would be as full and her ability to express her catness as complete if all indoors. I worried that it bugged my… (1/2)
