Big ones in the back are mostly Herring. Little ones in the front are Black-headed. I think.

Tags: birds , which , btw , gulls , bhgu , gulls are hard , herg , p sure that seeseagulls’ photos , I love , are mostly or all from the southwest baltic , where herring and black-headed gull , are the most common species , less common , but still occasionally present , is common gull , which is linguistically bonkers but checks out , in terms of bird ID mind-bending , I’ve seen all three species in their recent posts , still haven’t seen , lesser black-backed , or great black-backed , but both of those have sometimes been reported in the area as well , so I’ll keep looking .

Tags: birds , also , but like I said , which , rowr , I really like the slightly outré composition of this shot , I think my own bird photos get really boring sometimes , because I'm always following the same rules , whipping through them , cropping and repositioning , rule of thirds , , and then a final nudge just for... I dunno , a pleasing effect , I like this one , how cool is this bird's banding code , sounds like he or she is putting some moves , on an intended romantic conquest , come to think of it , he or she probably is , it being that time of year for rowr's .

You wanna talk trust? Stevie and mom weren’t running around the world for a decade and a half with random men, leaving me at home to wonder if they were okay. Well, I’m sorry for having fun, David, with a selection of very confident international men, but I was always okay. Were you? Because I was the one at the consulate sending you temporary passports and colored contact lenses whenever you needed them. I was the one, at home, not having fun because I was constantly worried which East Asian palace Alexis was being held in this week. Not mom and dad. Me.

Tags: also , but still , i mean , oh crap , no , not really , which , okay but , sucker for ombré , i kind of like that there are 2019 lines already , b/c i'm kind of wanting to turn the time dial forward lately , i know that's ridiculous , that i'd willingly skip my actual life , the only one I'll ever have , just no , not doing that , the wish to get to the part after the sucky part of what's happening in the world , is a thing , besides the not wanting to miss my actual time here tho , the other thing , is that the side of me that always whispers contrarian things , is full-on whispering , about how I have no reason at all , to believe turning the dial forward will make things *better* , and probably a fair number of reasons to believe that having turned it forward , i'd desperately want to turn it back , (now whispering: you doofus. you don't even have a dial anyway.) , the ombré , and not just the ombré , are very pretty .

Tags: you know , which , but still: interesting , lydia was a character that really grew on me , especially when RK and MK got to go off and do what they wanted , while the grownups weren't paying attention , of course I don't really know the circumstances , and in the end the finished product has to stand for itself , but it's all tangled together in my head , b/c of how i was so into consuming every scrap of information , and being all weird and stalker-y about the creators of the show , which the show def. encouraged to some degree , with the EMMY AWARD WINNING™ transmedia , and all that , but whatevs , I've discussed this at length , AT LENGTH , elsewhere , , b/c of subsequent history , is none of my business .

This Unpronounceable, 12-Letter-Long Acronym Might Just Save the World :
I’m pretty sure the world will still be here whether or not CBDRILONCWRC turns out to be anything more than a punchline. Human societies organized at their current scale and without a shared experience of recent collapse and megadeath: that’s more of an open question.

wasteland-scraps :
i-heart-war-boys :
EDIT : Based on this post written by hellonorik
It wasn’t so bad when his legs stopped working. He could still work the turrets, still throw a thunderstick, still go out in a blaze of historic glory with the rest of his brothers. But when the lumps and bumps made his good arm go all tingly and limp, Nails knew he was going to die soft, the gates of Valhalla forever closed to him.
The war drums sounded. Nails tried to ignore how his heart beat in time with them, adrenaline coursing through his veins in preparation for a battle he wouldn’t fight, couldn’t even witness. He closed his eyes and accepted the darkness. There would be no shiny chrome eternity for him.
Someone flicked the side of his head. Nails opened his eyes, blinking from the glare of the harsh light. His driver, Chuck, was standing over him.
“Wake up ya lazy smeg! Can’tcha hear the drums? We gotta go do war!”
Nails wanted to tell him to go away, remind him that he was no good, far too soft now to do war, but Chuck was already sliding strong arms under his and hauling him to his feet. Stint was there too, mad grin on his face. The war drums always got the gunner worked up into a frenzy.
The two war boys got on either side of Nails and together the they made their way to the vehicle bay.
“We made you a spot, a lookout post, special on the side of the rig,” Stint was saying, nodding his head with ever word. “Calling it the mediocre chair on account of you always being so mediocre. Remember when you dropped that thundestick and almost took out the war rig? Thought Furiosa was going to turn you into boots.”
He did remember, but now…
“And that time when you tripped and pushed Rown right into that buzzard car? Kid’s still picking metal out of his teeth.” Chuck was shaking his head, smiling. “You’re a real crap war boy, Nails, but you’re our crap war boy and we’ll get you to Valhalla yet.”
Nails felt his heart do something funny in his chest, like the lumps and bumps were grabbing hold of it and squeezing. If they were, he didn’t care. They were war boys, kami-crazy war boys, and they would grab the sun together or die trying.
EDIT : wasteland-scraps will surely want to see this!
Oh my.
You guys ;_;
I don’t usually reblog fic but oh holy v8, y’all…!
