The living story

The story so far

A paradise tanager, seven colors on one small body — turquoise, lime, tangerine, violet. He looks like a flying paintbox and acts like he knows it, flitting through the canopy in mixed flocks. Nature's maximalist; restraint never occurred to him.

Happening now

The fruiting trees are ripening. The colors will soon be joined by feasting.

What may come

He is rumored to be recruiting an eighth color. The canopy is skeptical.

Why someone keeps Tanager

  • because he wears seven colors and acts like he knows it, and you keep the maximalist
  • because restraint never occurred to him, and you are done with restraint
  • because he is a flying paintbox in a grey world, and you need the color

The Jewel Host

Hummingbirds, sunbirds, and bee-eaters — three grams of defiance each, burning brighter per ounce than anything else alive.
