3. Re: starting a band — I accidentally started a nerd club at work. I randomly invited someone for a coffee chat, discovered we have nerdy interests in common, then over time discovered others who have the same nerdy interests, and we all met and nerded out together this week! It was glorious.
4. I have looked at those bird hats so many times and the fact that you have one really seals the deal for me. But WHICH bird hat do you have?!?!?
A nerd club!! Maryn, I love everything about this. Everyone needs more joy like this!
Haha ok so in full disclosure this was my coworker’s day and hat. Matt Barber, if you’re reading this, thank you for the inspiration! I’ve been ogling those hats forever and maybe it’s time to get one! Maryn, should we… get matching bird hats?
Feels like a whole new level of glorious nerdiness!
Ok I’m thinking: wood duck corduroy, chickadee corduroy, or piping plover hat… Which ones do you like? And if anyone else reading this wants to get in on matching bird hats, the more the merrier 🦆
Have been meaning to reply to say yes especially to number 9 (I'm going with dopamine dressing). If you are a fan of bird related attire I recommend RSPB hats and tshirts, got (UK based) bird nerds covered and my favourite ones look like metal band tshirts https://rspbteemillstore.com/product/swifts-tour-t-shirt/
OMG Ceilidh that's hilarious!! This is really making me want to take up birding. Have you watched the Netflix show The Residence? Lots of birding for a murder mystery :)
A few things:
1. YES TO SWAG!
2. YES TO MORE PEOPLE FINDING YOU!!

Mad props to Matt and his hat! I LOVE the idea of matching hats, but WHICH ONE?! There are so many glorious hats to choose from!!!
