Looooooooook what I got!

[birdsofshore]

The amazing dannyfranx has sent me a curlew pin badge! Her job is doing wonderful clever things to help birds and she managed to get her hands on this for me, and I love it. It's extra amazing because I have bought several of the RSPB's pin badges myself featuring shore birds, but I could never find a curlew one despite searching both in RL and on the internet. There didn't seem to BE one, so this is an extra-special surprise and has made me a very flappy bird indeed.





It is also particularly lovely getting post from danny because she decorates the envelopes so beautifully, it makes it seem quite magical. ♥

The other thing I got sent today was this marvel, and I must say ABOUT TIME TOO, because nobody had sent me any Justin Trudeau links for WEEKS.

I don't know if the embeddy thing works, if not, here is Trudy rating memes and tweets about himself. He gets a bit stern at one point, heh.

And lastly, the people at Three Patch Podcast are conducting a survey on Fandom and Sexuality, and it closes TODAY. Thanks to gracerene for promoting it, because I hadn't seen this was happening at all, and it seems like a really worthwhile and interesting study, so please do take part if you have 30 mins to spare.

I hope everyone is having a good day?

Ooo, that pin is great! :D

Also, yay survey pimping! I'm so curious to see the results!

I couldn't believe it when I saw the curlew! Such a thoughtful thing to send me <3

The survey made me think, even answering the questions was thought-provoking, tbh.

OMG that video, hahaha I am obsessed. I've someone become invested in this politician through you, haha XD

[birdsofshore]

Hehehe, we should all be invested in Justin Trudeau, especially now we know he likes to be called Prime Minister Potato Head :D

Ohhh, this is so super awesome, Birds! It's ~YOU~!

That pin is rad!! I would be stoked to receive that in the mail! I mean, the post.

Thanks for signal boosting that survey, I took it and I am sooooooo interested in seeing the results. This is the kind of data that is relevant to my lifestyle!

I was so surprised and pleased because I have a few of the little pin badges with different birds on, but it didn't seem like they made a curlew one. Either it's a new thing or danny has secret access to special bird badges, LOL!

I'm intrigued by the poll, too. I'd like to read more about fandom people and how they relate to love and sexuality and all of the things.

Awesome pin and very thoughful!
Hmm, I had no idea who the Canadian Prime Minister was until today, but I like him after watching that vid xP
Ooo, interesting survey. Having been in fandom for a while, I couldn't not take it. It will be interesting to see what results they get.

Oh that pin is so great a perfect portrait of you, if I may say so myself!
And people who decorate envelopes are a gift to the universe I actually had someone write me an entire fanfic for me on one a few years ago. Next level! haha

I'm so glad you like it and am sorry it took me so long to send it. Access to secret stocks? no, but I do sit next to the community fundraiser who is in charge of the pin badge scheme, which means the rare ones do come my way occasionally. If you let me know which ones you already have I can keep an eye out for any your missing.
