I genuinely hate this app.

Twice in the last six months, I have been sent a message saying that “something” went wrong with my account and that I needed to reset my username. I have a pin and a recovery key stored, but was never prompted to use them. Having no other option, I followed the steps and once back in the app, I am removed from all of my group chats. I have no linked accounts on other devices. I only use it on a modern iPhone. Why does this keep happening? What an absolute grade F user experience.

I’m devastated

My first year trying to attract eastern bluebirds, and it ended in tragedy. I was gone for the house in rural Virginia for a few days, and it looks like a bear came through and just whacked the crap out of the birdhouse. I know for a fact, the chicks had not fledged yet.

I truly don’t know how to prevent this sort of thing in the future. The parents were so diligent for weeks watching the house and building the nest and bringing life into the little place. Now it’s shattered.

The only ray of hope is that I did put up another nest about 100 feet away attached to a tree, and just this evening I saw a male bluebird acting like he was putting nesting material in it. Is my hope that he might be trying to build another nest for this season completely false? I think it’s the same pair but I’m not sure.
