Language Liberalism Freethought Birds

Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.

Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.

The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.

If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

In the back yard

Some backyard visitors

Male Eastern towhee

American crow in the rain

Carolina chickadee

Male Red-bellied woodpecker

White-throated sparrow, bright morph (see here for a look into the fascinating sex life of these little birds) - this one's probable mate, a tan morph, is around, too

Blue jay

American goldfinch, probably a male but in non-breeding plumage

Alviiiiin!
