Draining all the love and likeness from you Donβt worry though Iβll be sure to give it back when I can Thrice-fold! Sold! Or something I donβt know and canβt rhyme this early in the morning And my coffin is kind of cramped... YES. SOME VAMPIRES STILL SLEEP IN THEIR ANCESTRAL EARTH. In a coffin. Yeees. Mine has silk on the inside. And I still canβt stop having daymares about Twilight.

alright who the FUCK spilt all these cheetos in my bed
I dreamed I made this meme so I had to make it in real life.
Iβm in my nap era meaning I am asleep at 2pm and wired at 2am for no reason
A day in the life of me:
1. Wake up
2. Question why Iβm not a Cis girl
3. Sleep
4. Repeat
Entry 4: "No regrets" - hell yeah, little flamingo dude, I hope you have zero regrets as you sleep better than anyone here in Night City.
I guess I'm an owl guy now. Just last week I learned about an Eastern Screech-Owl pair that has been nesting in Monona, WI for at least three years, so I had to go take a look over the weekend. The pictures below were all taken on Sunday.
[ID: An Eastern Screech-Owl sleeps in the knotty hole of a tree. The Owl is a red morph, with tawny brown feathers on the head, wings, and breast. Dark brown streaks and white patches make for a scaly camouflage effect on the lower breast and belly. The Owl has tiny brown ear tufts that stick up from the top of her head above feathery white brows. From this angle, the Owl is facing the left side of the frame, with just a little bit of beak and talon visible among the puffed feathers. Her left eye is a black slit, tightly closed against the daylight. End ID]
I visited the nest site a couple times on Saturday between other birding excursions in the area, but had no luck. The tree pretty much hangs over the road in a residential area, so it was super easy to swing by and have a look. It may have been too cold and windy that day for the Owl to want to sleep out in the open.

The Owl has tiny brown ear tufts that stick up from the top of her head above feathery white brows. From this angle, the Owl is facing the camera directly, with just a little bit of beak and talon visible among the puffed feathers. Her eyes are black slits, tightly closed against the daylight.

I met several other nice birders that were there for exactly the same reason as me. Some just popping out of their cars for a quick look and others stopping to chat or swap birding stories and intel for a while. A mother and son from Monticello, a retiree from somewhere 90 minutes away (he didn't say) who left to seek out the same Snowy Owl I saw a week prior, folks who live just down the block and see the Screech-Owl at least once a week. We learned from past sighting reports that the red morph of this pair is the female and the grey morph is the male, due to their relative size and courtship behaviors. (With many predatory bird species, the females are generally larger than the males, even when coloration between the sexes is identical.) The owner of the house across the street explained that the female has been back living in the nest hole for a couple weeks, but she hasn't seen the male yet this year.

At the end of the day, I decided to wait with one other birder (who had driven about two hours from Menasha) in the hopes that the Owl would emerge before sunset. We weren't completely without luck, as the Owl decided to sleep in until around 5:30pm, when basically all light had gone from the sky. I only saw her because she immediately flew from the hole and landed on a nearby roof to take a look around. Neither of us got a single usable picture, but I could see her well enough through the binoculars to make a positive ID and log my 190th species. My compatriot had to return home that night, but I decided to keep an eye on eBird and pop back over if someone else happened to see the Owl during the day.

As I'm sure you guessed from the photos in this post, other folks reported the Eastern Screech-Owl sleeping out in the open midmorning on Sunday. So I finished my chores and tossed my gear in the car for yet another short drive to Monona. And much to my delight, she was still there when I arrived, completely asleep and looking quite comfortable! (One of the birders from Saturday had mentioned that she likes to sleep out in the open when it's warmer and not so windy.) I snapped about 700 photos from various angles, then went to meet up with my good friend Rachel.

You see, Rachel got me into birding in the first place, and she and her partner were coming to Madison to visit and go to a hockey game that evening. I made sure to let her know that she better bring her binoculars if she was interested in taking a small detour to pick up a lifer. And being a very well-behaved Owl, the Screecher didn't move an inch from her roost. The light was better this time, so I had to snap another 600 pictures or so. We met a few more birders and checked around the base of the tree for pellets, but didn't find any. We wondered about the species of the tree (I thought ash, she leaned toward box elder), then said goodbye to the Owl. It's certainly fun to pick up a lifer when I'm out by myself, but I find it even more enjoyable to share that moment with someone else.
Back in May of 2022, we were out at the UW Madison Arboretum looking for Warblers. We came across a couple of older folks with binoculars staring intently into the trees, so I thought for sure they found a good one. But no! Turns out they had spotted this little guy.
[ID: A juvenile Barred Owl sleeps in the shade of a tree. It's mostly brown and fuzzy, with grey marks throughout and a browner "mask" around the eyes and beak. It's sitting on a large branch with a pair of slanted tree trunks on either side, and a few young green leaves framing the scene. End ID]
This is a baby Barred Owl, having a little snooze in the shade. They woke up briefly to look around and check us out, but they seemed perfectly content to sit in full view from the path as people jogged by and stopped to peek at them.
Iβm real
Hey itβs me
It just tickles my brain smh
I just made a powerpoint, recorded a speech, and completed a 50-question exam in 30 minutes. Quality is unknown but I got an 86% on the exam so I'm doing okay.
Side note the speech was on Sonic the Hedgehog because that's my current fixation and thus the only thing I could make myself focus on.
I know this is different from my usual stuff but I'm sleepy and this is the second time I've pulled this type of shit.
I was gonna take a nap but then wall-E came on and i was like "Fuck no, sleep can wait, robot love cant"
π¦πsleepyππ¦
someone requested a 2023!tom fluff but i lost it so here it is anonymous
οΏΌ
iβm going to do head canons bc iβm not ready to make a full story
tomβs the type of person that if he feels comfortable around you heβs gonna be in a DEEP sleep
obviously you and tom are together so
ππππππππππππππππππ
backstory: you wake up before tom, his arms are tightly around you making sure you donβt go anywhere. as your eyes slowly adjust to the dark you roll over to check the time. 5:43am it says.
ππππππππππππππππππ
tom would definitely feel you moving around in his arms but ignore it due to being tired.
if he feels you moving he would whine and hold you tighter mumbling something
βy/nnn where are you goingβ
you can try to reason with him to let you get up but heβs not letting you.
trying to coax you back into bed
slowly pulling you back,placing soft kisses in between your neck and shoulder
overall just trying to make you stay in bed
if and when you do agree to lay back down he WILL put his head on your chest to hear your heart beat
play with his hair when heβs in your chest
tryβs to match up his breathing with yours
softly rubbing your hips with the pad of his thumb
soft kisses as heβs laying in you
SLEEPY MAKE-OUTS>>>>
pillow talk
when he does let you get up heβs gonna cover him self in your blanket to smell you not weirdly
if youβre making coffee he will walk up behind you and wrap his arms around you softly and kiss your cheek while bearing his head in your neck
SIKN CARE IN THE MORNINGS
very clingy in the mornings so you will have him around you until noon
overall just doesnβt want you to get out of bed
π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
