Yep.

Mini Jo says hi!

I’ve been listening to Phoebe Bridgers a lot and I got inspired by Chinese Satellites + a desire to paint. I’m happy it turned out how I envisioned!

What to do if you find a baby bunny.

The stick method is not effective. We reccomemd sprinkling flour around the nest instead or setting up a camera if you are unsure if mama is returning to the nest. A few major things to add:

Never move the nest. Ever. Mom will not go searching for babies. She returns to her nest spot and if its empty she will grieve her babies.

Never block off the nest. People do this to protect the nest but if mama rabbit cant easily stand over the nest they will not be fed.

If the babies are injured DO NOT RETURN THEM TO THE NEST. take them out and put them in a box with soft cloth on the bottom with a heat source (heat pad under the box on low, a rice sock wrapped in a towel, warm water bottle etc). Keep them indoors in a safe and QUIET place while you get a hold of a rehabber. Injuries are prone to fly strike and this is disastrous for any animal. Cat caused injuries are lethal unless treated with the right antibiotics.

Most importantly:

DO. NOT. FEED. THE. BABIES. EVER.

Most of the cottontail deaths i see are actually human induced. Ive held too many kits that were choking to death or having full organ failure in my hands because someome decided to feed.

"A Scottish field once home to mono-crop barley has become a pollinator’s paradise after intervention from a local trust saw bumblebee numbers increase 100-fold.

Entitled Rewilding Denmarkfield, and run by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the project has also seen a sharp increase in the number of species passing through the rolling meadows after they were reclaimed by dozens of wildflower species.

The area north of Perth is about 90 acres in size, and surveys of bumblebees before the project began rarely recorded more than 50. But by 2023, just two years of letting “nature take the lead” that number has topped 4,000, with the number of different bee species doubling.

“This superb variety of plants attracts thousands of pollinators. Many of these plants, such as spear thistle and smooth hawk’s beard, are sometimes branded as ‘weeds’. But they are all native species that are benefiting native wildlife in different ways,” Ecologist Ellie Corsie, who has been managing the project since it began in 2021, said.

“Due to intensive arable farming, with decades of plowing, herbicide, and pesticide use, biodiversity was incredibly low when we started. Wildlife had largely been sanitized from the fields. Rewilding the site has had a remarkable benefit.”

Similar increases have been recorded in the populations of butterflies, with a tripling in the number of these insects seen on average during a ramble through the field.

The numbers of both insects are now so high that Rewilding Denmarkfield offers bee and butterfly safaris to visitors.

Local residents told the Scotsman that on spring and summer days, the field is awash with color, and hums with the sounds of bees and birds. Even as multiple housing developments expand around the Denmarkfield area, the field is a haven for wildlife."

The book inspired Harry and Dudley very blatantly as well.

Don’t just take my word for it: the book is still in circulation and I’m sure a librarian would be happy to find it for you.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.
