I didn't realize it was Purim until Merriam-Webster's word of the day was megillah

Which I'm now realizing I can't spell. I should've kept that page open. I'd correct the spelling, but I'm in too deep now!

So here, take a fic. It remains astonishing to me that Lower Decks is the Trekkiest of the modern Treks, but there it is.

Two bird things

First is not really a bird thing. I was washing out the birdbath when all of a sudden I was reminded, for no apparent reason, of the punchline to a joke I must have heard 20+ years ago. Not even the joke itself, which I had to reconstruct - just the terrible punchline. And here it is:

"Oh no! It's Buffet, the vampire slayer!"

You're welcome.

Secondly, I happened to just now glance out the window and what do you think I saw? Seven turkeys! I'm not sure I can be held responsible for this. They're turkeys. If they walk around like they own the place it's because they pretty much do. They go in lots of yards, they've been in this neighborhood forever, it's not the birdseed.

...yes, I will keep telling myself that.
