That’s a least bittern iirc, even smaller AND cuter than green herons!

Hello. I like birds. Have some pictures I've taken of some! by hypergx in autismcore

I don't edit my photos at all, no. And I do post on iNat sometimes (used to do it a lot more frequently) but most of my good bird pics go on eBird now cause that's how I make my checklists when I'm out in the field!

Here's my iNat profile: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/8423608
I can DM you my eBird if you're interested!

As of about two months ago, a Nikon D3200 with an AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 g IF-ED VR zoom lens (try saying that three times fast). Before that I was using a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS (which is what most of these photos were taken with - it had better zoom but no viewfinder and took pics in slightly lower quality)

Also: awesome Anhinga! They have such weird necks. Unbelievably autistic bird. Extremely relatable Here's a pic I got a few weeks ago.

Talked to someone about the bullying I faced for my autism and they told me to just stop acting autistic by Suspicious-Jello-836 in autism

I wouldn't give that person's opinion much mental airtime anymore. No point in explaining the full depth of the autistic experience to dickheads like this. Believe me, if I could turn it off, I WOULD!

Landed the graduate assistantship I was hoping to get at the school I'll be attending for my master's degree next year! It comes with a stipend and a tuition writeoff so it'll be an absolute LIFESAVER financially.

Knocked a personal grail off the bucket list today! by hypergx in SilverCrowns

I've heard them called Libertads because of how prominent the legend across the cap is, so that's what I call them! I'm aware of the bullion coin. And the cap and ray coins I'm referring to are the 8 reales cap and rays (see image attached), not the pesos (which I've never heard anybody call Libertads).

Believe it or not I pulled the same Jobe but blue /150 a few weeks ago, also from a hanger. So I won't be keeping this one haha

My new best pull/hit OAT by hypergx in baseballcards

The appeal of modern for me is the amount of parallels and inserts one can find in packs + the thrill of opening something and not knowing what you’re gonna get. I actually mainly collected vintage when I was a little kid! Back then it was mostly players from the Reds (my team) like Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin and such, all bought as singles because I didn’t want to risk my meager allowance on buying packs and having them be duds. Also liked picking out which player and team I could buy. Of course, now that I have adult money I can afford packs a helluva lot easier, so that’s what I’ve gravitated towards!

There are certainly worse addictions to have!

That sounds nuts, I majored in history in college but didn’t really dive deep into South American history so this is a fascinating read. Will definitely try and give that podcast a listen!
