How to make friends as an adult.

1. Go outside. This one is hard but it's very important.

2. Put forth calm energy. No fast movements or loud noises.

3. No headphones. Trust me on this one, you'll want to be able to hear the new friends.

4. If allowed and safe (check local bylaws and reports of local illnesses) put up a friend feeder near your house.

5. Hang out near the friend feeder regularly so they get used to your presence.

Congratulations! You have made some friends. Now you can take pictures and even log your friends on iNaturalist!

*Steps not tested on humans. Results may vary.

How to make friends as a grad student.

1. Speak and move in a calm way. Don't yell or make sudden movements.

2. If your local bylaws allow it, leave food and presents out.

3. Establish yourself as the source of the food/presents. Sit quietly a ways away from them, but still visible.

4. On hot day fill a shallow tub full of fresh clean water for them to drink and bath in. Change this water often and clean the tub.

This works for crows, I haven't tried it out with people yet.

Can you imagine how hyped you'd be for spring in my grandma's garden if you were a bee? Like I'm hyped for spring as a human but to a bee? The first flowers of the year? In abundance?! Amazing.

Daffy duck uses he/him pronouns and lays eggs.

Okay so I saw the new Looney Tunes movie.

Why isn't there more hype around it?

Daffy Duck is trans and Farmer Jim is literally an ideal Tumblr SexyMan? AND a single father?! Where's the fan art?!
