The fancy Redwinged Blackbird with potential bilateral gynandromorphism is still around, here are some more clips from the last couple of days. I have not edited them other than stringing them together for this video. This is how they were recorded. Every time I think it must be a molt, this bird turns around and looks completely like a female. So intriguing. It also has a lot of red on the face.

Edit: I also just noticed that you can see the right ('male') wing and leg are longer and thicker than the left ('female') side!! Male RWBL are usually a little bigger and heavier than the females so seeing this on the same bird is so cool!!

Recreating a core memory. 🥹

it’s sad to me because the aspect of fanworks that i enjoy the most is the community aspect. i love having long conversations with my friends and other fans about work i’ve created and work they’ve created and work others have created. you don’t get that with AI works, right? you get, like, the dopamine rush of New, More! and then it fades because there was no real creative process involved. but there’s a lot of fandom spaces where that dopamine rush is all you get, because fanworks are treated as content being created for the fandom rather than by the fandom. idk man!!! it all sucks!!! i have a lot of empathy for people who have been raised in this environment when it comes to everything — school, social media, friendships, relationships — and bring the same processes into fandoms. we have to engage with the world to have a world with engaging in
