it's just a hyena :)

If anyone is looking for ideas, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors has done decades of advocacy work in this area and fought for real improvements in saving birds. Their work on lights-out and preventing window strikes have had a big impact on the local ecosystem.

when people say "practice doing nothing. doing nothing is healthier than doomscrolling" they're lying to you. no one ever does nothing. actually doing nothing is pretty bad. they mean going out for a walk, or knitting, or snacking on something, or chatting to someone, or people watching, or listening to birds sing, or colouring in one of those colouring templates, or watching the sunset and the clouds, or doing grounding exercises in their head. they're low energy activites, but they still require some amount of energy, or require being someplace or having something, or require having an interest in one of those specific activities. when those things aren't accessible to someone then of course scrolling social media is gonna be the easiest thing to do. and I'm not saying social media is better than those things, but for people who do have an unhealthy relationship with social media, they're not gonna fix that relationship by chasing after an idealised activity of "nothing", that's just penance and they're gonna bore themselves back to where they started. they gotta find out what other mindful activities they actually like, and figure out how to make those activities more readily accessible for themselves. which can be much easier said than done

My favorite art is first sentences of scientific papers, I love reading sentences like "movement is of integral importance to animals" or "snow has long been recognised for its ecological importance" fuck yes so truee

do u ever think about corn sweat; and the fact that a large percent of corn grown in Illinois, iowa, etc is grown for ethanol and biofuel; and how solar power would be so many times more effective per acre than this; and how like 90+% of so many rare ecosystems in those states was drained for farm and suburbs (in many cases previously farms).

AND you could still have native plants around and even under the solar panels.

When you see what they did to the Midwest you'll want to fucking kill the corn lobbyists with your bare hands

on a work call. after the briefing, the manager said "any questions" and someone raised their hand and asked "did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone"

Funny how you never see the people who claim that "tme/tma is reinventing the gender binary" say the same thing about afab/amab. In fact, they seem to really like those terms as identity labels.

Estrogen could have saved Harry Osborne. I'm serious.

Hey Harry I've noticed that the crushing prison of Manhood and the trying to live up to the expectations of your insanely evil father -- that you've psychologically resorted to idolizing instead of letting yourself begin to question -- have warped you into a desperate, manic, and self-destructive person who compartmentalizes his personality because, on the one hand, you're crushingly vulnerable and afraid and want nothing more than to be loved safely, but on the other hand, you feel compelled by your upbringing to violently avenge the father who you believe sacrificed everything to ensure your livelihood because That's Just What Men Do. anyway i've got a "goblin serum" that you should try. 8mg subcutaneous

repressed trans women who feel like they have never been genuinely loved for who they really are inside, for their taboo and emasculating weaknesses that they can never admit, will literally put on their father's supervillain costume if nobody tells them that they can just be a girl. this is why you have to reject the egg prime directive. otherwise you get little goblin jr

what is it about things being gender neutral having to also be ‘masculine’. like, why can you wear a suit and tie and call it gender neutral but not a dress cause that’s feminine. why can you call people dude or guy as a gender neutral term but not girl cause that’s feminine. short hair is neutral but long hair is feminine. i mean i know why this is fully a rhetorical question but let’s think about that

something really funny about the idea of people living through the bronze age calling it the bronze age. I guess that makes this the lithium age?

With the breakdown of Arabian sea routes our age of plastic is coming to an end.
