A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore
The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:
We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.
It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.
An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.
I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.
Highlights from the notes over the past 6 months include a lot of angry vegans saying “you’re blowing things out of proportion, no vegans actually think like this!” and a lot of people who work in conservation and education saying “Every day. I have to fight people who think like this.”
As a bonus this post was originally inspired by the vegan who called me racist for saying we should kill invasive species
i had a vision while listening to my music: someone needs to make an edit or write a fic inspired by a kevin atwater song. im listening to his new album and im gonna cry early-mid situationship hollanov esp from shanes pov GAHHHH its so sad and some of the lyrics are so perfect im just gonna die
oh fuck off
"I'm still kicking" is such a funny way to say "I'm still alive". Like lol. I'm still thrashing. Flailing. Writhing even. The violence remains.

Everything on repeat 🔁🤍
Shane is Arthur's Dad Part 6
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
2015
Shane would be the first to admit that he had a habit of making bad decisions when it came to sex. Especially sex, when alcohol was involved. Something about the buzz in his veins made his dick point towards the moon and his inhibition incredibly lowered. He didn't drink often, but there was no excuse on planet earth that would excuse him from partying with his team after winning his first Stanley Cup.
And perhaps there was a universe where his sexual awakening at 17 never happened. Perhaps there was a universe where Ilya Rozanov never made him come so hard he saw stars, where he didn't reorient his hockey-focused world on its axis. In that world, Shane would have never noticed the way certain men's eyes lingered in the locker room.
This was not that universe.
In this universe, Shane was intimately familiar with the weight of a man's desire.
The last time the US Men's National Team won a knockout game in the World Cup was 24 years ago--exactly half my life ago.
2002: I'm living in Chicago, working at Booklist Magazine. I've just begun to recover from what used to be called a nervous breakdown. I was out of the hospital, living on my own in a furnished studio apartment that my parents had found. I only had one bill to pay every month--it included my phone (landline), utilities, and rent.
I was paying that bill. I was beginning to feel for the first time like I might be able to survive adulthood--despite the heartbreak and my overall low level of functioning.
I woke up at 2 or 3 AM to watch the World Cup each day. I've loved the World Cup ever since 1994, when my dad took me to a game the first time the tournament was hosted by the U.S. I remember watching alone in the middle of the night as we beat Mexico to make the quarterfinals. I was ecstatic. That team wasn't particularly fun to watch, but we ground out results.
Today, 24 years later, the USMNT won a knockout game again, and this team IS fun to watch. They play with speed and heart.
My life is very different. I have more than one bill each month. My house has more than one room. I have a spouse and kids and work I love. The days now can be very hard, too, but in a different way.
The joy I feel tonight is almost identical to the joy I felt 24 years ago, except I am no longer alone in it. After all, community is one thing sports can bring you. But also, football lets me feel pure and simple emotion in a world where nothing is pure or simple. And today, that pure and simple feeling is gratitude.
Heya! This blog is so cool! Do you think you could do a rec list for fics/ficlets posted on tumblr? I love ao3 but sometimes I prefer to read here
Yes, I’ll do my best at searching and adding them. Suggestions are MORE than welcomed!!
Tumblr Ficlets
🏒 Hollanov Sex Toy Shopping | @mymansmoon
shane and ilya lying at opposite ends of their living room couch. shane has his glasses on and is doing some work on his laptop. ilya, unbeknownst to shane, is browsing sex toy shops on his phone.
🏒 Boston Year Fluff | @mymansmoon
it's the year following s1. ilya is still in boston and shane is in montreal. they've just played a game against each other in boston and shane is staying over at ilya's house.
🏒 Crime/Mafia AU | @delsicle
A summer night in Manitoba. Shane fighting sleep from the driver’s seat of his patrol car, four hours left on his shift. Nights like this are dangerous because they allow his mind to wander back to a time when he wasn’t always a small-town cop, writing parking tickets and getting the short end of the stick with his patrol times. In another lifetime he was one of the youngest members of the RCMP, back before the lifetime blacklist and demotion down to the lowest possible rung of police work with no hope of ever rising up again.
🏒 Irina Rozanov's Story | @manhasetardis
Irina is a smart and curious child with big dreams. She gets into figure skating. She’s good, she wants to be the best. In her late teens she gets a boyfriend. He’s good at first, sweet, but soon starts getting jealous and controlling
🏒 Shane Moves Out of Montreal | @lavenderprose
So Ilya is helping Shane pack up his house in Montreal that summer, that fucking whirlwind summer after they are outed and after their lives end and restart like a fucking heart attack victim being resuscitated and after Ilya finds himself standing in his own backyard and realizing he has a family again, has a husband and parents and brothers.
🏒 Soft Hollanov | @bugslibraryy
here’s something warm and horny and sweet for ya
🏒 Morning Sex | @mymansmoon
sleepy cuddly morning sex + quiet dirty talk
🏒 Ilya's Birthday | @gloryhollanovjah
Ilya wakes up alone on his birthday.
🏒 Horny, Freaky Hollanov | @schittyfic
“Fuck, I need you inside me, like, yesterday.”
🏒 First Year Boyfriends | @tizniz
Shane’s nervous. Which is stupid and ridiculous. But this is the first year where they’re not just fuck buddies and they get to be together and real with each other. And most importantly: it’s Ilya’s birthday.
🏒 Cliff Bisexual Moment | @marmelade-sky
going off of that one post you made, would you write something about cliff trying out guys/gay sex (and telling ilya about it)? I love the idea that he's a little bisexual
🏒 Separated Room Assignments | @hollanovbiter
One road trip, the Centaurs are looking over their room assignments for the night, and notice that Shane and Ilya have been separated. Usually, their captain and assistant captain are always bunked together, for obvious reasons, but tonight they’re both assigned other roommates.
🏒 Suck Him Off Sunday | @hutsonwoolyums
The problem, Ilya realizes, is the tuxedo. It’s all sharp lines and tight angles that hug Shane’s body just right. And Shane’s been working hard in the pre-season. He’s packed on weight and muscle, and he’s rested and happy, glowing actually, at the praise he’s receiving for his speech at tonight's Irina Foundation Gala. And Ilya, well, Ilya is in trouble. He’s been in trouble for hours, since the moment Shane walked into their bathroom to ask for Ilya’s help with his cufflinks, and Ilya nearly swallowed his tongue.
🏒 Slow Dancing | @bugslibraryy
Surely, a song had never made him feel like his heart was pushing up out through his ribs, wetting his eyes.
🏒 Grandparent Hollanov | @grimsonandclover
“Grandpa!” A chorus of voices from below chest-level cried out from the living room, hurling themselves against his legs as short arms wrapped around his waist and legs. He couldn’t help but laugh, even if the room spun with the impact. “Alright, alright, hello. Gentle on grandpa’s knees, please.”
🏒 Baby Shane Hockey Video | @quillquiver
Ilya almost dies as the grainy screen resolves itself into an MC and a tiny Shane, dressed in his hockey gear. His helmet is crooked on his head, his stick tap tap tapping against it as he stares at the interviewer, determined. His cheeks are big and round and pink from the cold of the ice, and though Ilya cannot make out his freckles, he knows from pictures that they’re there. The MC crouches down and a packed Bell Center is visible behind them.
🏒 Ilya Caves To Shane | @my-castles-crumbling
“Can you ask Roz to end practice like…ten minutes early today? I’ve got a date with Cassie later and she’ll kill me if I’m late again,” he asked, wincing a little at some past memory.
🏒 Montreal Jane | @mybloodstream-caffeine
"We all know who Rozanov's best lay is." Like they'd rehearsed it, the Boston Raider's all cry out in lilting sing-song unison: "Montreal Jane!"
🏒 Shane Is Arthur's Dad (Threesome) | @rileetheriddler
She'd started to become suspicious the minute the exhaustion of labor and bringing home a new baby had started to abate. Arthur's thick head of black hair was completely at odds with her brunette and with Hayden's blonde, but matched perfectly with a certain other man. Another man with whom she and Hayden had celebrated a wild night after winning the Stanley Cup in 2015.
🏒 Ilya & Yuna Bonding | @agent-odessa-over
After lunch they are seated in the den, fondly flipping through old photograph albums, when Ilya spies one that makes him lean over and squint.
🏒 Photo Albums | @lavenderprose
Ilya finds an odd picture of Shane in a photo album at one point. He's maybe three, he's sitting on the massive purple sofa that Ilya has discovered the Hollanders owned when Shane was born. He's frowning, red-cheeked and he's got a strange plastic case on his thumb.
🏒 Shane Snaps At Hayden | @ilya-sweetheart
“I know you were just, you always just. No matter how many times I tell you to drop it, to stop setting me up with Jackie’s friends, to stop asking when I’m having kids, you just can’t stop.” Shane closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the cool locker door. He forced himself to breathe in and out. Focus.
🏒 Ilya Remembering His Mama | @gaemerprince
Ilya's day off from playing hockey. A day in his life and some of his thoughts.
🏒 Open Relationship AU | @perlukafarinn
AU where Ilya seduces Shane away from an asshole boyfriend and I really want one where the boyfriend suggests opening the relationship and that's how Shane and Ilya first start fucking
🏒 Shane's Oral Fixation | @watermelontuesdays
Ilya first notices it because he's simping. Shane's standing in the kitchen, the afternoon sun hitting him just right, head tilted back and just chugging down a glass of cold water like he's dying of thirst. Ilya is stupid with want. His eyes trail over Shane's pink lips, the drop of water that runs down to his chin, and the smooth movement of his throat as he gulps, gulps, gulps...There should be one more gulp.
🏒 Shane Crying During Sex | @bugslibraryy
“Fuck Hollander, like cock so much it makes you cry huh? So pretty, needy boy” Ilya cooes over him and Shane is falling apart he’s cutting off into galaxys, he’s a heartbeat and nothing else. He’s whatever Ilya does to him. Shane is nodding, still, trying to tell Ilya he’s. Yes it’s good he’s I like it so much yes I’m needy.
🏒 Domestic Hollanov Caught on Video | @sumthinboutapickle
Ok so you guys know abt that trend on tik tok where one person is secretly videoing their parter being all sweet because they think they’re in private?? I got a little something.
🏒 Ilya Cockwarms Shane | @hutsonwoolyums
It starts, like many things do, because Ilya is curious. Even after all these years, there are still things about Shane that make Ilya curious. It's just that he's seen how it affects Shane, being on his knees for Ilya, just holding Ilya’s cock in his mouth. His shoulders unclench and his face relaxes and he goes still, and any other time Ilya’s cock is out, Shane is never still. And so Ilya is curious. Where does Shane’s mind go when he floats away like that? What does it feel like? Ilya wants to know.
🏒 Post Sex Cuddle | @bugslibraryy
Shane and Ilya laying in bed post fuck, Shane sprawled on his back still, Ilya between his legs, Shane’s thighs loosely pressed to Ilya’s sides, Ilya is still inside Shane, he’ll stay like that till he too soft for his cock to stay there, because Shane loves it, feeling full till the last moment and Ilya does too, loves how Shane whines if he even feels like Ilya is going to pull out.

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.
you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.
ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.
ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.
there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.
it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.
also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.
if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

Hurry Up and Feel Good Soup
For when this has just been going on TOO LONG now and you need to FUNNEL IN NUTRIENTS but also you FEEL LIKE CRAP AND WANT FOOD TO TASTE GOOD.
Heat 2ish Tablespoons of neutral oil on high in large stock pot.
3 to 4 onions
Dice fine and add to heated pan, turn heat to medium low and stir until the sizzling settles. Add a healthy teaspoon of salt, stir and then leave while you prep the next step.
2 to 3 large sweet potatoes
2 to 4 carrots
1 large russet potato
2 to 3 knobs of fresh turmeric (2 to 3 tablespoons powder)
1 to 2 inches Ginger root knobs
Dice all before transferring to pot (to give onions time to sweat and caramelize a bit). Stir in to the onions. Add:
8 Cups of water
3 T Better than Bouillon (whatever flavor you like)
If you have broth or prefer broth, feel free to use 2 quarts instead of these (bone broth would be best here).
Prep next ingredients while the water boils.
1 or more bunches of dark greens. Chard, kale, spinach, even arugula/rocket or cabbage would work. Chopped.
Fresh herbs de-stemmed. I used an entire clamshell container of poultry blend herbs from the store amounting to three large stems each of thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Don’t do anything with your greens yet.
In addition to fresh herbs I included the following seasonings. Since this is medicinal I used large amounts of each. I know my tastes pretty well, I’d start with about half a teaspoon of each and then add more until it tastes as strong as you like! Some of these I added up to a tablespoon of. I’ll order them in amount I used from largest to smallest.
Marjoram (go ham)
Paprika
Fenugreek
Salt
Cinnamon
Coriander
Powdered curry leaves
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (go light with this)
1/4 teaspoon Hing (if you have it)
Add all your dry herbs and seasonings to the water. It’s okay if you don’t have everything, I have a crazy cabinet. Once it’s boiling stir in:
1/2 cup red, brown, black, or wild rice
1/2 cup lentils (any color tbh)
Let it boil on medium low for 25 minutes. Add greens and fresh herbs and boil for another 15 minutes. Use immersion blender to liquify. Incorporate:
3 or more T honey
2 or more T apple cider vinegar
And there you go!
If you want you can pair with crusty bread or crackers. You could top with:
Yogurt or cream
Poached egg
Goat cheese
Any kind of cheese really go off queen
Toasted pumpkin seeds
More herbs
But it’s great on its own!
i really, really hate that we've gotten back to 2000s eating disorder bodies being marketed as the pinnacle, and what people should gun for.
and no, i don't mean to hate on ppl with bodies that malnourished, obviously; there are mental hurdles they're trying to overcome or medical issues that are none of your or my business.
i'm saying that i hate that hollywood is, yet again, saying that this body type is what everyone should aim for, and that the "advice" being handed out is "magical weightloss drug" or "starve".
closing statement for those who's reading comprehension is tumblr grade; ME NO LIKE HOLLYWOOD. HOLLYWOOD SAY UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD GOOD. HOLLYWOOD BAD. ME SAD PEOPLE HAVE BAD RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD. STARVATION BAD. HOLLYWOOD USE PROPAGANDA. HOLLYWOOD MAKE PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE STRUGGLE WORSE. BAD HOLLYWOOD. NO. NO LIKE HOLLYWOOD.
The worst part about writing is that sometimes you actually have to write.
The best part about writing is also that sometimes you have to write.
I will not elaborate further.

Shane is Arthur's Dad Part 5
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Rose had Miles drive her to the ER, and now they were both sitting in a private room while an IV dripped into her veins and sticky pads were plastered all over her chest. Her heart beat had been very fast when they came in, and while the sticky pads were precautionary, Rose hated the way they felt on her skin. She just knew that when they peeled them off, a sticky latex residue would be left behind that she'd have to scrub in the shower.
The LA heat in the middle of summer, August, just around the corner, made the entire affair even more miserable. Outside, the muggy evening pushed almost triple digits, and inside the AC turned the hospital into a freezer. She could see the goose bumps on Miles' arms as he sat scrolling his phone on the chair next to her. It had been a miracle he was even at her place when she started having the stomach pains. They both had press for the movie they filmed last year, and he was staying with her instead of an in-person hotel.
A doctor came in, "Hello, Ms. Landry. I'm Dr. Kim. Test results came back and you did test positive for hCG. Which is the hormone produced in pregnancy. I can't tell how far along you are from this test.
