Sing on Olympus Mons so all the world can see
Perfection in my structure, I have all I need
There's not a single stain on my song tonight
When time is endless and I'm always right
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
Forever caught in mid-flight
How I long to be
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
Forever caught in mid-flight
How I long to be
How I long to be

Trip to the Met
Vanessa, illustration, shares her first Metropolitan Museum of Art visit with us. Highlighting works from Greek and Roman art and some original works of Pablo Picasso. #MarywoodArt #MET #museum
In my Art in the Modern Era class, I was presented with the opportunity of a day trip in New York in order to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had never been to the Met before, and so it seemed like it would be something that not only would I enjoy, but also a trip that would allow me to experience a multitude of artworks in person. Initially, I was nervous after I made the decision to go,…

I know a lot of people would disagree and I understand the warning against it but traveling alone was honestly some of the most fun I've ever had 🥺 also like, the amount of nice interactions you get, both with other lone travellers or locals (especially older people who like chatting : D)

It's being estimated that the spaceX launch, lacking the regulation and oversight of NASA launches, might have wiped out as much as 4% of the population of the federally protected Piping Plovers who's nesting site was within the effected area of the launch blast.
But you know, privatising space is cool because billionare fanboys think it's awesome.

Might be a silly question, but if someone needed to handraise a male peafowl, could they wear some sort of face covering and use a hand puppet like wildlife rehabbers and zookeepers do to prevent imprinting?
The ONLY reason anyone would "need" to handraise a peacock is if the bird is in need of major medical attention that requires more handling than usual. Rehabbers use hand puppets for feeding chicks, but peafowl are precocious- they aren't directly fed by their mothers or fathers, they are just shown foods and they eat by themselves. They're also pretty perceptive little shits with excellent eyesight right from hatch, and do NOT like things that look like peafowl but Aren't (they seem to have an uncanny valley, I have video of chicks freaking out when shown not-real peafowl), so I would think a puppet wouldn't work anyway.
The good news is pretty much no one should "need" to hand raise a peacock; most major medical issues should be culled, not raised, and ones that ARE raised should be handled by experienced keepers that can deal with the problems that occur. This is a part of responsible breeding.
And any chick that isn't a medical issue should never be a "need." Peafowl breeding season is during the summer, when people all over the place are hatching a bazillion chickens, turkeys, guinea, and quail every day- including large box stores like TSC, FFH, and other farm stores, and local feed mills often have local bred chicks. You should have no problem finding companions for solo peachicks (or groups), and you should be able to leave any groups of chicks alone enough to not imprint them.

“Garak, let go! I can’t see the injury if you’re gonna hold my arm like that.”
“Forgive me, Doctor. I’m just a little nettled by the dynamic imbalance of our professions. You are always having me on my back to take care of the tiniest of scratches. And yet I have you perfectly standing still with every collar alteration or hemming of your pants. I would hardly call that a fair exchange, would you.”
“Hm. And here I thought you always enjoyed the access to my pants.”
