Birds

It is fun to feed the crows. Five big crows showed up today. Blue birds show up. A female cardinal shows up. I still have a few sparrows and doves that show up. I have little plastic lids on top of the snow and I put the seeds on top of them. 

This dove is on the ground level on dirt that is not covered by snow because of the deck above it.

A fun aspect of feeding eggs to a fox is seeing fox footprints in the snow roaming all over the garden. 

Hunter Biden used something called ibogaine to overcome his drug addiction. The Ukrainian military is experimenting with ibogaine to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). Hunter did his treatment in Mexico as ibogaine is illegal in the US. There is a (singular) study in Nature Magazine that found impressive results for TBI. It comes from a root in Africa. They are using micro-dose because large doses do bad things. 

Latvia’s defense chief is assembling a coalition of almost 20 countries to arm Ukrainian forces with “thousands” of new drones. 
Ok so remember that one of the reasons Russia invaded Ukraine is gay people. In a post on Telegram, St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov claimed that Russian soldiers were finding bathrooms in schools for boys, girls, and “gender-neutral people” and this is what Russia was fighting for. Putin at some point said that a lot of Russians who move abroad come back because of those gender neutral toilets. Ok, clap back came when Boris Vishnevsky, a member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, responded in a Telegram post that "a quarter of Russians do not have centralized sewerage.
And basically, it is hard to imagine something more gender-neutral than a backyard 'latrine'-style toilet.”
