y'know, we always hear about bioweapons as like bacteria and viruses that go around doing the murder murder, but like, wouldn't it be so much cooler (if less effective, but also much less likely to get back to the deployer) to use like a massive swarm of bombardier beetles that are engineered for maximum acid production and high hostility? or like a mycelial fungus that is designed for very fast growth and degrades structures. or terrifying crabs. or horrifying, gargantuan sea creatures. or seaweed which, instead of normal gas mixtures, produces an insane amount of carbon monoxide or ozone (or basically any very dangerous gas) in its pneumatocysts.

but like, what about bioarmour? what if we just had a thick colony of bacteria which produces a very hard material as a shield. it'd probably be heavy from all the water weight, so best for buildings or other immobile thingies, but like, make the bacteria produce hard, calcium rich chitin shells or something, or make it make little spheres of some hard ceramics (probably calcium based) that fill like 40% of the space so that it pretty much works like a normal bullet proof shield but it's alive and can heal. or a fucked up crab thing that just surrounds you, protruding limbs into the outside world. or what if we designed a breed of termite that would build massive nests and not be hostile. we could surround or cover buildings with massive termite mounds (they are strong enough to withstand bullets and the termites do fixing very fast). or what about engineering/breeding an organism to build themselves into humans. maybe to help with healing, maybe as protection, maybe to enable easier modifications, maybe to provide energy, maybe as companionship, or maybe as things that i can't think of. i know under capitalism any of these things would be used in an abusive relationship, but at least in my opinion, we should give back to any organism at least as much as they give us. (eg. a termite nest protects our buildings, so we provide them food and protect them whenever we can if they're doing badly, or if we have another organism growing into our bodies, we provide them with food and shelter and companionship if applicable (and we never abuse our friends)).

How to co-exist with a belligerent catbird. (Washington Post)

My childhood bedroom had a Jane Goodall quote on the wall — “My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature” — and I think this helps explain how I became a person who surrendered five blueberry bushes and my dignity to an angry catbird.

We called her Catherine. The spring when my daughter was 2, Catherine claimed the entire garden beside our house as her domain. I discovered this when we went to pick blueberries from our bushes; as my toddler plucked the fruit, the bird began calling loudly. Then she dove toward me and landed on my headband. I gasped and jumped, startling my daughter.

“What happened?” she asked, and because I wanted to convey a scene that was more Beatrix Potter than Alfred Hitchcock, I said, very calmly: “Mama catbird is asking for some space for her babies! What a good mom! Congratulations on your babies, Catherine!” Then I hurried us away, my daughter cheerfully calling, “Congratulations!” to the bird who was still shrieking and swooping toward my head.

When we think about living with animals, we might think first about pets — how they teach us empathy, responsibility and patience and shape our daily rhythms. But the wild creatures who inhabit our yards and neighborhoods offer their own lessons in companionship and accountability, and these, too, have become an indelible part of our family life. My daughter’s first words were, “Hi, squirrel!” as she waved to the plump rodent peering in the window. When the white-tailed deer bring their fawns to our yard, we are sure to keep the birdbath full; the nursing mothers are always thirsty. My children greet our garden residents by name: Mariah, the chipmunk, known for her clear, high-pitched vocalizations; Sally, the eastern cottontail rabbit, who nests in the flower bed; Albirdo, the redheaded woodpecker, who rudely banishes all competition from the suet feeder. (“Share,” my daughter urges him, unsuccessfully.)

Albirdo doesn’t understand that edict, but we try to uphold it. This is the one little patch of Earth over which we have any measure of control, and I want our family to share it thoughtfully with the other beings who belong here — even when those relationships demand a little extra compromise.

My loved ones have come to accept my soft spot for the wildlife forced to adapt to our modern human presence. In an apartment where doves nested above the concrete patio, I set out cushions and towels to soften the landing for fledglings. I once baited a humane mouse trap with parsley and peanut butter and conducted daily releases in a wooded area behind the yard. (Turns out I was releasing just one mouse, who returned day after day, increasingly plump and at ease with our morning routine. My mounting suspicion led me to dot a black Sharpie on the back of his head before he dashed into the underbrush. The next day, I drove Sharpie Mouse to a park several miles away, where I bid him a permanent farewell.)

Others are more skeptical of my devotions. Once, circling the perimeter of our house with a termite prevention specialist, he gestured toward the ivy-covered stump where a magnificent oak once stood. “That,” he said gravely, “will attract voles or chipmunks to live there.” “I know!” I gushed. I think he realized I was a lost cause.

Catherine sensed my weakness, too. She harvested the majority of our blueberries that first year; I didn’t dare challenge her. The next year, I tried to net the bushes — but she built her nest within the netting, so I gave up and took it down. Every time my husband passed by to take the trash out, she divebombed him. Still, I couldn’t bear to banish her.

In our third year as neighbors, when it came time for me to plant my dahlias in the raised bed — squarely in Catherine’s territory — I knew I’d need protection. I dug my old horseback-riding helmet out of the closet.

hmm do you ever think theres a way to feel a little less delusional tho? like u know u never going to date them realistically so why i cant just like them as ppl who release good music? yet im over here trying not to simp for them its kinda pathetic on my part. its not even in the case that id obsess over their social pages or what they say or do cause sometimes idols and in general celebs make it so easy to like them cause they exist yaknow. anyway back to my delulu thoughts can u do ateez and what would they be attracted to with each sign or a particular sign that would attract them? thank you (:

Aw dont say that to yourself. You are not pathetic. And tbf a sense of companionship is a part of what kpop sells, imo..

Maybe you can try to do things you like? Can be anything like watching movies, reading books, playing with your pets, dancing, singing, cooking, drawing, maybe working out, taking a walk. Or if you like it, talk to people you love, call a friend. I think it'll give a rewarding feeling for you too ^^

Aand for the ask, hmm attraction.. We'd want to look at Venus placement, i think? Also Moon for emotional compatibility. There's more, but generally, maybe these aspect would be significant..

Harmonious Aspects: Trine (same element) and Sextile (2 signs away). Sometimes Conjunction (same sign).

Opposite Attract: Oppositions (sister signs) this may come with tension tho.

House overlays: 5H (fun & romance), 6H (daily life), 7H (partnership), 8H (intimacy).

I hope this is what you wanted heheh.

Purrfect Companions in a Perilous World: A Comprehensive Guide to Cat Care in 2024

Cats, our furry companions, have graced our homes and hearts for millennia. With their independent spirit, playful antics, and undeniable cuteness, they hold a special place in our society. But beyond the warm snuggles and adorable meows, cats offer significant benefits to our lives and face unique challenges in today's world. This article delves into the complexities of cat care, equipping you with the knowledge and resources to be the best feline guardian possible.

1: The Feline Powerhouse: Benefits of Cat Ownership

Sharing your life with a cat isn't just about purrs and playtime. Studies reveal fascinating health and emotional advantages. Owning a cat can:

Reduce stress and anxiety: A 2020 study published in the "Journal of Physiological Science" found that interacting with cats lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone.

Boost heart health: A 2013 study in the "Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology" suggests owning a cat might decrease the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Combat loneliness and depression: Cat companionship can provide emotional support, especially for individuals living alone. A 2015 study in "PLoS One" found cat owners to be less lonely and more satisfied with their social lives.

Improve cognitive function: Research suggests cat ownership can stimulate the mind and even delay the onset of dementia.

2: Responsibilities: Loving Beyond the Purrs

Cat ownership comes with responsibilities. Here's how to ensure your feline friend thrives:

Nutrition: Choose high-quality, species-appropriate food based on your cat's age and activity level. Consult a veterinarian for personalized recommendations.

Grooming: Brush your cat regularly to remove shedding fur and prevent hairballs. Longhaired cats require daily brushing.

Litter box: Provide a clean, accessible litter box in a quiet location. Scoop daily and change the litter regularly.

Veterinary care: Schedule regular checkups, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Spaying/neutering is vital for health and population control.

Microchipping: This permanent ID helps reunite lost cats with their owners

3: Threats in the Modern Jungle: Protecting Your Feline Friend

Our world presents dangers to even the most adventurous felines:

Traffic: Keep cats indoors to prevent accidents. Provide enrichment like scratching posts and climbing structures to satisfy their natural instincts.

Predators: Outdoor cats face threats from wildlife and stray dogs. Consider harness training for supervised outdoor access.

Diseases: Vaccinations are crucial to protect against serious illnesses like feline distemper and rabies.

Parasites: Ticks, fleas, and worms can cause health problems. Use monthly preventative medication.

Toxins: Household plants, cleaning products, and medications can be poisonous to cats. Ensure a safe environment.

Climate change: Rising temperatures and extreme weather events can impact cat health. Provide access to shade and water during hot weather.

4: Champions for Feline Wellness: Solutions and Actions

We can create a better world for our feline companions:

Adopt, don't shop: Give a homeless cat a loving forever home. Support shelters and rescues by adopting, volunteering, or donating.

Indoor/outdoor enrichment: Provide safe indoor environments with stimulating toys and climbing structures. Consider building a secure catio for supervised outdoor access.

Support animal welfare organizations: These groups advocate for cat welfare, provide resources to pet owners, and promote responsible pet care.

Raise awareness: Educate others about cat care, verantwortliches Katzenbesitz, the dangers cats face, and the importance of adoption.

A Lifelong Bond: Love, Respect, and Purrfect Harmony

Caring for a cat is a commitment, but one filled with boundless rewards. By understanding their needs, providing responsible care, and advocating for their well-being, we can ensure our feline friends live long, happy, and healthy lives. Remember, respect their independence, appreciate their unique personalities, and shower them with love. In return, they'll enrich your life with purrs, companionship, and endless feline charm. So, let's become responsible cat guardians, create a safer world for them, and celebrate the joy of sharing our lives with these perfect creatures.

Here's the best way to express your love and solidarity with cats. Make the world see it

The Impact of Dog Training on Your Dog's Behaviour

Dog training isn't just about teaching your furry friend tricks; it's about fostering a harmonious relationship and ensuring your dog's well-being. A well-trained dog is more confident, happier, and better equipped to navigate the world around them. Let's delve into the profound impact of dog training on your dog's behaviour.

Understanding the Benefits

Improved Behavior: Training at a dog school helps dogs understand what is expected of them, reducing unwanted behaviours like barking, jumping, or chewing.

Strengthened Bond: Consistent training sessions foster trust and companionship between you and your dog, deepening your bond.

Increased Confidence: A happy and more at ease dog is one that is well-trained and feels more safe and confident in their environment.

Enhanced Safety: Obedience commands like "sit," "stay," and "come" are crucial for keeping your dog safe in various situations, such as around traffic or other animals.

Reduced Stress: A well-trained dog is less likely to experience anxiety or stress, as they have a better understanding of their environment and expectations.

Choosing the Right Training Method

The best training method for your dog depends on their personality, age, and learning style. Here are some popular options:

Positive Reinforcement: This method focuses on rewarding desired behaviours with treats, praise, or affection, creating a positive association.

Group Classes: Socializing your dog while learning basic obedience commands in a group setting can be beneficial for both you and your pet.

Private Lessons: If your dog has specific behavioural issues or you prefer one-on-one training, private lessons can be tailored to your needs.

Consistency is Key

To achieve lasting results, it's essential to be consistent with your training sessions. Set aside a regular time each day to practice commands and reinforce good behaviour. Remember, patience and positive reinforcement are crucial for a successful training journey.

By investing time and effort into training your dog, you're not only improving their behaviour but also enriching their lives and creating a more harmonious relationship.

5 Reasons Why Cavapoos Make the Perfect Family Dog

When choosing a dog for your family, it’s important to find a breed that is friendly, affectionate, and easy to train. Cavapoos, a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle, have rapidly become one of the most popular family dogs—and for good reason. Here are five key reasons why Cavapoos make the perfect addition to any family.

1. Gentle and Affectionate Nature

Cavapoo puppies are known for their loving and gentle demeanor, making them ideal for families with children. They are patient, tolerant, and eager to snuggle, making them great companions for kids of all ages. Cavapoos tend to bond closely with family members and love spending time with them, whether it’s playtime or simply lounging on the couch.

2. Low-Shedding and Hypoallergenic

One of the most attractive traits of Cavapoos is their low-shedding coat, inherited from the Poodle parent. This makes them a fantastic option for families with allergy sufferers. Their hypoallergenic coat also reduces the amount of fur around the home, making cleaning easier and ensuring that families with mild allergies can enjoy a dog without worrying about constant sneezing or itchy eyes.

3. Highly Intelligent and Easy to Train

Cavapoos inherit intelligence from both parent breeds, particularly the Poodle. This makes them highly trainable and eager to please. Whether it’s learning basic commands, house training, or picking up new tricks, Cavapoos excel with positive reinforcement. Their ability to quickly adapt to new routines makes them a joy to train, especially for first-time dog owners.

4. Great with Other Pets

If you already have other pets, a Cavapoo will fit right in. Their friendly and social personality allows them to get along well with other animals, whether they are dogs, cats, or smaller pets. This makes the transition of bringing a new dog into a multi-pet household smoother, helping to create a harmonious environment.

5. Adaptable to Various Living Situations

Cavapoos are incredibly versatile when it comes to living arrangements. Whether you live in a house with a large yard or a small apartment, Cavapoos adjust well. Their moderate energy levels mean they are content with daily walks and indoor playtime. As long as they have the company of their human family and regular exercise, they thrive in various living spaces, making them perfect for both urban and suburban environments.

Conclusion

For families searching for a loyal, loving, and adaptable dog, Cavapoos truly check all the boxes. Their gentle temperament, trainability, and ability to fit into different lifestyles make them an ideal choice for households of all sizes. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or a seasoned pet parent, a Cavapoo will bring endless joy and companionship to your family.
