Blue Birds of Happiness

Blue is an extra-fun color for birds to be, because, as you may have heard, it is not created by a pigment. Blue feathers (and the blue scales on butterfly wings, and the blue irises of some humans) are structural, meaning that the color is created by the physical properties of the living tissue, which are arranged in such a way that they reflect the short wavelengths of blue light. Often this is paired with a dark pigment which absorbs other colors of light and makes the blue 'pop'. Look at all the tints and shades they can make!

Before Us

By W. S. Merwin

Before Us

You were there all the time and I saw only

the days the air

the nights the moon changing

cars passing and faces at windows

the windows

the rain the leaves the years

words on pages telling of something else

wind in a mirror

everything begins so late after all

when the solitaires have already gone

and the doves of Tanna

when the Laughing Owls have

long been followed by question marks

and honeycreepers and the brown

bears of Atlas

the white wolf and the sea mink have not been seen

by anyone living

we wake so late after many dreams

it is clear

when the lake has vanished

the shepherds have left the shielings

grandparents have dissolved with their memories

dictionaries are full of graves

most of the rivers are lethal

we thought we were younger

through all those ages of knowing nothing

and there you are

at last after such fallings away and voyages

beside me in the dawning

we wake together and the world is here in its dew

you are here and the morning is whole

finally the light is young

because it is here it is not like anything

how could it have taken you so long to appear

bloom of air tenderness of leaves

where were you when the lies were voting

the fingers believed faces on money

where were we when the smoke washed us

and the hours cracked as they rang

where was I when we passed each other

on the same streets

and travelled by the same panes to the same stations

now we have only the age that is left

to be together

the brief air the vanishing green

ordure in office tourists on the headland

the last hours of the sea

now we have only the words we remember

to say to each other

only the morning of your eyes and the day

of our faces to be together

only the time of our hands with its vexed

motor and the note

of the thrush on the guava branch in the shining rain

for the rest of our lives

Mini Website Update

Hello! There's this big, beautiful button on the character guide page of the website:

It was slightly broken. Sure, it led to a random bird page on Wikipedia, but it only led to a random bird page under a specific category so you'd only get, like, 25 birds total. I've fixed this button so now it's TRULY random! You can get anything from a Eurasian sparrowhawk to a shining honeycreeper with a click of the button.

Try it out on the website! If you'd prefer, try it out here!

I’m apologising for this icon change but only because it gives the false impression that I have ever actually blogged about Vocaloids in the past five years, which I have not.

To be honest my icon and (mobile) blog theme changes have become some weird means of self expression which is now driven only by unexplainable impulses to somehow reflect my current mood or whatever. The Dorothea icon has been getting on my nerves the last couple of days because it suddenly felt like it didn’t fit me, and I suddenly realised like an hour ago that my new icon absolutely had to be Kaito. And then I spend ages going through pictures of Kaito until I saw this one and immediately felt 100% certain it was the one I wanted, even though like. most of the pictures of him I had open were basically the same.

genuinely cannot explain the process by which I choose my icons any more dude. it just happens.
