I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.
Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.
#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain
Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"
I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
And that they're somehow better than everyone else for being aware of the scam.
I find Stranded No More to be a fascinating example of the Dunning Kruger effect. They call themselves a âwatchdogâ group that doesnât seem to have any practical expertise.
This is a social media âorganisationâ that does nothing but criticise and point fingers at rescue organisations and refuses to believe that euthanasia is an ethical choice for stranded whales. Their âhelpâ for Timmy was AI generated diagrams of the pectoral fin tow idea stolen from Sea Worldâs Forster rescue.
But letâs talk about their points:
1) Whales can be extremely sick but still survive - the reason Timmy was able to survive as long as she did due to the chronic stress responses she was experiencing, resulting in periodic bursts of adrenaline that was keeping her alive. A whale that is lying on a sandbank for 2 weeks and continuing to restrand is not healthy.
At this point she was disoriented and likely had internal damage. Her breathing was very raspy and her respiratory rate was very high, indicating an elevated state of stress
2) Timmyâs body condition was extremely poor - just because her ribs werenât jutting out doesnât mean she wasnât emaciated. Her spine was very clear to see, she had lost blubber. Compared to the successful rescue of the juvenile in Forster, NSW, she was in a very bad state
3) Timmyâs âimprovementâ was based on the assessment of a veterinarian with no experience with cetaceans, let alone baleen whales. The time spent in that brackish water had caused significant deterioration. Again, compare to the Forster humpback juvenile, which Stranded No More and blacklisted vets were pointing to as âproofâ Timmy could be saved.
The situations were chalk and cheese and if this whale had shown up in the state Timmy was, ORRCA, Sea World and National Parks would have all likely agreed on euthanasia. Itâs not a âcartelâ. Itâs current best practise based on animal welfare science.
No one wants to euthanise whales!!! This idea that weâre all itching to kill stranded whales is just so ridiculous on so many levels and deeply insulting to the people actually helping whales.
Stranded No More also asserts that efforts to refloat whales are âhalf heartedâ because the expectation is the whale needs to be euthanised. This is also deeply insulting and Iâd invite them to go and stand neck deep in frigid salt water all day and let me know if they feel like they could be half hearted about it.
Rapid response to strandings is important - but not by mobilising the general public without any experience or instruction or by refloating without any assessment. That is just stupid and dangerous.
Large whale strandings are extremely emotional and intense. Itâs impossible to push an adult or even a juvenile humpback whale into the ocean without some sort of mechanical aid. And even then, the conditions of the ocean can make things dangerous for the whale and the people.
With smaller cetaceans we have a little more flexibility in finding less swell and rough surf. But if the animal is sick and weak, pushing them back out into the ocean is basically drowning them.
It makes me so angry, as someone who is trained in marine mammal rescue response and has assisted in multiple dolphin health procedures, that this âwatchdogâ is making the jobs of marine mammal rescue response so much harder by implying some sort of conspiracy. And that we just need to keep pushing sick whales back into the water and seeing what happens.
Spoiler alert: people are already doing that! They just restrand! And they may restrand somewhere even more secluded and hard to get to.
We had a beaked whale strand at Bondi recently and a bunch of surfers very roughly threw it back into the ocean. This is a deep diving rare pelagic species. ORRCA lost the chance to assess health, get samples ect. It restranded on a secluded beach and died shortly after.
We know what happens! Itâs why euthanasia as a protocol was developed. Because every refloat attempt is extremely stressful for the animal and itâs not fair to them to keep putting them through so much stress just to appease our saviour complexes.
Anyway Stranded No More has no idea what theyâre talking about and uses obvious confirmation bias to justify any point they make, pointing to a small handful of cases where healthy whales were successfully refloated (which is ALWAYS the goal, regardless of what they keep saying) - and ignoring the cases of the sick whales or the constant restrandings cases.
False killer whale - 2026 - Sealife
The third and last friend of the Sealife commission, the fantastical False killer whale. Another favourite of mine. And another species painted previously, and though this latest version still looks a lot like her predecessors, I luckily still managed to find some new details to include. I've always loved these noodles (seriously, there are some photos that will boggle your mind - black spaghettis flying in the air) and it's always a fun day to draw one. I hope you like her too!

âAt least he died freeâ apparently also applies to whales that strand now.
These people will tout whales as these incredibly intelligent beings and then think that theyâre stupid enough to strand while being healthy.
Sure, some healthy whales and dolphins strand due to storm surges, hunting techniques and misadventure. Or for social reasons, like mass strandings of pilot whales.
But itâs far more likely that a whale that strands is a whale that was either too weak to swim against the currents pushing them ashore or they chose to swim into shallow water. Because it is much safer to be in shallow, calmer waters than in the deep sea.
People have this idea of the deep ocean as this idyllic place. The sun beats down mercilessly out there - if youâre too weak to swim youâre too weak to dive. Depending on the ocean, it can be extremely choppy and hard to keep afloat in if you have no energy.
Itâs also a very vulnerable place to be as a sick animal. Easy prey for pelagic sharks and killer whales. They might even start getting picked at by seabirds if theyâre logging at the surface.
Not to mention this was a lone juvenile humpback without a social group, competition pod or nursery pod to keep him safe in numbers.
The ocean is beautiful but it is indifferent to you. It doesnât care if you live or die, it wonât protect you if youâre out there.
Timmy didnât care about the human concept of âfreedomâ. We can only assume that he was sick and dying and looking for a peaceful place to die. His vocalisations and rapid rasping exhales showed us he was stressed and sick. But the people who painted themselves as his saviours decided it meant he was happy. Because they were Saving him.
Because apparently he was too stupid to get himself stranded but somehow intelligent enough to be able to know what humans were and that their hands all over him and their loud and noisy barge and their cheers and laughter were good actually!
And I have no doubt that these people will keep telling themselves they did the Right Thing and that the experts and scientists were still wrong.
And that they definitely werenât involved with what appears to now be the most expensive and stressful euthanasia of a stranded whale in history.

i feel like an often overlooked downside to 10-episode seasons and the death of the "monster of the week" format is that we get way less whump variety nowadays. used to be that there'd be dozens of opportunities for your fave to get punched or kidnapped or hypnotized or what have you. these days if it doesn't fit into the main plot, it just doesn't happen. this is a tragedy. we should be protesting.

âHaha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.â
Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.
âY2K came to nothing amirite?â
Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.
âRemember the hole in the ozone layer?â
You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?
One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those âitâs gonna be an apocalypseâ disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.
The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.
And I still think thatâs going to happen. I donât know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope wonât help bring it about.
And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.
