yeah i did name myself after sterling archer. and all the customer reviews are things people have actually considered appropriate to say to a stranger on the internet.
screenshotting out of context posts is a massive loser move. commit to the bit and find another way to embarrass me.
if you send me an ask and the answer can be found here im replying with a star trek meme:

original posts are #sterling speaks asks are #answered + #anon when applicable
i add onto posts a lot, either to fact check or just say shit. itâs usually not directed at op or the above commenter i just like talking
trigger tags are âtw blankâ (ex: tw antisemitism), you can ask for trigger tags if you hang around my blog a lot

i dont mind answering questions about disability/accessibility/mobility aids as long as questions are respectful
if i get into a fight with someone pls donât harass them on my behalf
feel free to send me fact checks for posts, iâll reblog with valid updates
DNF/and yes i actually check this:
im not joking about blocking people on sight if they post anything below. if you follow you wonât be following for long.
us military veterans unless you can be chill about it, gun enthusiasts/no gun regulation supporters, anti-aquariums/animal reserves/zoos, anti self diagnosis*, anti-mental illness recovery*, eating disorder blogs/pro-eating disorders, fanblogs for: hazbin hotel, attack on titan, 13 reasons why, south park/other ~adult animation like it~. hamilton is on thin ice.
about self-dx: thereâs nothing wrong with identifying your own symptoms and determining possible reasons for those symptoms. however, you cannot say you have a diagnosis when you do not meet the diagnostic criteria. idc if you think you have some weird unique form of a condition-if you do not meet the criteria and have not been diagnosed after extensive work with a medical professional, do not represent yourself as an example of that condition.
about mental illness recovery: it is completely up to an individual to decide what this means for them. however, i do believe itâs in someoneâs best interest to at least find some kind of management plan that works for them, even if that doesnât include classical psychiatry. take care <3
if you read this entire thing we share a warriorâs bond

Apparently Etsy now bans anything made with animal fur, including the scarf I wove with yarn made of combed mink fur I found secondhand. Why? Who can say! (Vegans)
Any angora rabbit keepers trying to sell their wool, yarn or goods? Fuck 'em! Any Native artists working with fox, raccoon and coyote? Fuck 'em! Anyone trying to remake items out of recycled vintage furs? Fuck 'em!
theres a lot of jobs i think would be cool to automate but the people being automated out of a job are given no alternatives because this is being done for the employers benefit not the employee. so we're in a weird situation where im lookin at jobs that i really dont think any person should be forced to endure and still having to go "well i guess id rather a human do it than a robot" which kind of sucks major ass actually. why am i on the side of employment. god damn it.

What did the author mean by the curtains being blue? Hi, literary expert here to help! Navy blue means anal sex but light blue means oral sex. Curtains on the left side of the window mean top but curtains on the right side mean bottom.

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first placeâ due to their superior sense of smellâ while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae familyâ itâs a special bond!
yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!
EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!
One critique... Black Vultures do not actually have a well developed sense of smell compared to other a couple other species New World Vultures (Cathartiformes). At least Yellow-headed Vultures and Turkey Vultures are known to have well-developed senses of smell.
I did find a citation for "leading them to food in the first placeâ due to their superior sense of smell" on an ornithological note on Birds of the World, which cites this 2009 paper. However, this paper is mostly about reporting instances of allopreening (yay! We love it!), and only mentions the food-finding capabilities of Black Vultures in the conclusion as one possible explanation of why Caracaras may roost with Black Vultures:
"(3) Opportunism by crested caracaras
Cathartidae is one of the few bird families in which the representatives use chemical odors find food location, as they use their strong sense of smell to find carrion kilometers away (Owre & Northington 1961; Houston 1986; McShea et al. 2000). therefore, vultures are, at least in theory, much more efficient at carrion location than opportunistic species which have no records of such ability, such as the crested caracara. In that sense, the caracaras gain advantages in food detection by grouping up with black vultures."
ALL THREE OF THE STUDIES THEY CITE ARE ABOUT TURKEY VULTURES!!! Not Black Vultures.
Houston, D.C. 1986. Scavenging efficiency of Turkey vultures in Tropical forests. The Condor 86: 318-323.
McShea, W.J., E.G. Reese, T.W. Small & P.J. Weldon. An experiment on the ability of free-ranging turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) to locate carrion by chemical cues. Chemoecology 10: 49-50.
Owre, O.T. & P.O. Nothington 1961. Indication of the Sense of Smell in the Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura (Linnaeus), from Feeding tests. American Midland Naturalist. 66: 200-205.
So they are just extrapolating wildly based on what is known about other Vulture species. I don't know whether there was established research yet about Black Vultures sense of smell or lack there of in 2009, and have already spent too much time on this, so not sure whether to blame the authors or not for this.
Black Vultures likely do have some sense of smell, but it is most useful for finding obscured food at close distances. They do not react to carrion smells at 40-50 meters away. Also it looks like Caracaras probably also have some sense of smell.
---
To be clear, I love the information about allopreening and it's an excellent photo!!! I just also really love accurate information about Raptors. This is an interesting case since Birds of the World is ostensibly reliable and did cite a scientific paper, so I only caught it because I have read other papers and information on vulture olfaction. Interestingly, this isn't mentioned in the full article (Black Vulture Birds of the World Page - linked but paywalled... sorry)
