it's been a minute. Honestly I think not reading mastodon has done me a lot of good mentally.

Now I'm back, let's brace ourselves.

the 8yo is now making unsolicited AI generated depictions of my week

A man in a gray T-shirt and brown shorts is frantically running away from a large, menacing turkey. He looks over his shoulder with an expression of terror and swings a stick behind him, trying to fend off the turkey which has its beak open in a threatening pose. The turkey’s exaggerated size and fierce demeanor add a comical yet slightly thrilling aspect to the scene set in a suburban backyard.

    The Attack Turkey

    this morning on the run i got to the top of the hill and was resting, bc i'm out of shape, and off in the distance i see a bird trotting my way

    as it gets closer i realize it's a turkey. it had a big red gobbler and its neck was iridescent. It was actually really pretty, so i just watched as it approached

    kellogh OP ,
    @kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

    it kept coming straight at me, eventually it was like 2-3 feet from me and my feeling shifted from awe to nervousness. i don't think turkeys are aggressive, but i also don't want to physically learn about a new aspect of nature today either, so i bolted

    to my surprise, and anxiety, the bird chased after me. i sprinted across the hill, down and up a gully. It was still following me, but getting further behind, so i walked a bit, but it caught up, so i ran.

    Eventually, it came to the long downhill and i lost it for good because, as out of shape as i am, i can still run faster than a turkey downhill

    unfortunately, i still had to come back. and it was waiting for me at the top of the hill. i picked up a long stick and kept it at a distance as i walked around it. as i sprinted downhill toward the creek, it followed me, but i think i lost it after the creek

    part of me wonders if the owners of the new development at the top of the hill got a turkey to defend its land from intruders, my trail does thread some Posted signs. but that's crazy, right??

    i’ve seen plenty of apex predators on the trail. bald eagles, black bears, moose, also rattlesnakes and copperheads. never have i been so scared as with that turkey. i can still feel the sudden shift from awe to terror as it got a bit too close.

    kellogh OP ,
    @kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

    after i got home, i looked it up and yes, turkeys can indeed be aggressive, especially around breeding time (i got news for you, Mr Turkey, i’m not your competition)

    if it happens again tomorrow, i think the answer is to be more overtly aggressive. so maybe i need to yell and chase it rather than just defensively tip toe around it. idk

    TURKEY UPDATE

    yesterday i went running again, same place. said turkey was WAITING FOR ME at the bottom of the hill.

    i'm like "f this" and turned to run away but it followed me, again.

    i started yelling at it with my best Will Ramos screams but it did not flinch

    i picked up a stick and swung hard it close to it's head, hoping that would scare it off. it was not scared off.

    @futurebird tbh they don’t seem to run that fast, so maybe turkey trot is a great way to get in shape, or at least motivation to run faster than a 15 min mile. 🤔 new business idea

    @lowqualityfacts right, which is why leg amputees are given a plunger to keep their blood pumping

    The fediverse is bigger than Truth Social and most of it isn't even a company... just a bunch of nerds running their own social network on pocket change (as it should be) and the content here is chefs kiss so much nicer.

    Maybe we should "go public" too LMAO.

    @futurebird you might say we already are public, THE public

    If, like me, you are a bit of a fiend for Christian Lore you will enjoy this tumblr thread about how some MAGA folk on twitter have accidentally started a whole new heresy.

    (I think Christian Lore Fans are formed by learning a LOT about Christianity growing up, but never developing the idea that you know the one true way.)

    @futurebird i’m pretty sure “jesus survived the crucifixion” was a full-blown heresy from the beginning. back in college i went through a heresy kick and bought a collection of the gnostic gospels. iirc 3rd Timothy goes into this a bit, as well as a few others
