#freeroaming

[mirrankei]

Hello Tumblr, I’ve been doing a thing for grad school and it’s finally finished and hopefully my body will recover from the lack of sleep and insane amounts of stress soon.

This is a series of videos about art, scientific inquiry, conservation, and other stuff, with 50ish original artworks, by me, most of which have timelapses, for the project (and other art I’ve made that wasn’t specifically for this), plus live footage and photos and a little bit of stock footage because I didn’t want to go searching for pigeons and giraffes when I was already so far behind

It is hopefully pretty fun despite being infodumps, it includes a lot of dumb cartoons and videos of my cat (including a whole bonus vlog of me taking him on a walk if you’re into that kind of thing)

If you can’t tell from this kind of random selection of artwork, the videos are about:

Doing art at the zoo/scientific inquiry

Domestic animals and the effects of free-roaming

and interacting with urban wildlife

Soooo if you’re interested in any of that, please give it a watch. I might make more videos in this vein in the future (without the stress of it being for school, I plan to actually sleep next time). 

I don’t have subtitles up yet but hopefully will soon. 

here’s more random pics

"rabbit cage" spotted!!!! rabbits DO NOT BELONG IN CAGES fyi. the only reason they were ever kept in cages was to breed them for meet or to do experiments on them etc. please DO NOT DO THIS. no hutch either. rabbits aren't even rodents, they're lagomorphs! you need to start thinking of them closer to cats/dogs than to mice/hamsters.

anyone who's considering getting a pet bunny *PLEASE* look into freeroaming, there's tons of youtube videos about how to get started! once neutered (pls do - it saves them from cancer and litter issues) they can basically be kept like cats, with a litterbox full of paper litter and lots of hay, and of course bunny-safe leafy greens twice a day and their daily hay pellets, and very small amounts of other veggies/fruit as occasional treats. they need space to RUN AND BINKY AND FOOL AROUND!!!!! if you can't do full-house/apartment freeroaming (would you keep a cat in a bedroom forever...? but whatever... anyways, it's an okay solution short-term or long-term if you're willing to spend LOTS of time with them and lots of enrichment) at the VERY LEAST use a large puppy pen instead of a cage or freeroam them in an entire room. look into bunny proofing.

please do not use cages. your bun should be at the center of ur life!

My vet: So is Ollie going to be an indoor or outdoor cat?

Me: Indoor, but I will be taking him outside on leashed walks. No free-roaming, only supervised walks.

Vet: Okay, so we'll be giving him a preventative treatment for fleas and ticks, but he likely won't need a rabies vac-

Me: I would like him to have the rabies vaccine

Vet: Fantastic. And we also offer vaccinations for-

Me: Yes. We'll take all the vaccines that you have.

Vet: Well if he's not free-roaming, he'll likely never come in contact with-

Me: All the vaccines that you have

Vet: I mean we can do that but it'll be a six month plan, and it'll be a hassle for you to bring him in and pay for that many treatments, especially with how unlikely some of these diseases are

Me: My cousin was eaten by alligators, my uncle was almost taken out by a beaver, everyone in my family has been divorced once and married twice minimum over the past four generations, every family line I have has been kicked out of their country of origin, and my immediate family has experienced three divorces, four marriages, seven parents, three international moves, two missing persons incidents, two house fires, a tornado, two car collisions, one of which involved a semi truck that leveled the car, two sewage drain backfloods in two different houses, a wolf attack, two con artists, a pyramid scheme, two autoimmune diseases, three congenital deformities, one incident of bacterial meningitis, three medical quarantines, sepsis, and the sudden deaths and disappearances of eight dogs, thirteen cats, three guinea pigs, four consecutive sheep named Dorothy, thirty-two rabbits, a rooster, two ducks, four hamsters, nine fish, four cockateels, a parrot, a llama, and a bear

Me: We will take all the vaccines that you have

last week i thought he died. he was sleeping all curled up in his lil oivanest and didnt react to me rustling around or gently touching him, so i panicked and sent my friend a sad "OIVA IS DEAD" message

then i went to pick up his "dead body" and he uncurled and started clicking his teeth at me, all annoyed.

he was just having a real good nap. fucking old man making me go through all the stages of grief in 2 minutes.

E!whybie would be like one of those people that think its a good idea to own exotic pets (like big cats) but it actually works out for them because of their animal ability bullshit and also they can keep the animals happy by feeding them people they dont like. Enrichment .

I swear the local birds don't do shit, look at the amount of grasshoppers in my yard again:

What do I even do with this, other than buying pesticides? They don't give two fucks about diatomaceous earth or cinnamon or any of that. I can't plant shit out there because these assholes fucking mow down everything each year.

It's like there's a neverending pharaoh's curse. When you walk, it looks like the ground is moving, there are so many of them. Some of them grow humongous too. I'm gonna nuke this place.

this is going to be an extremely negative review about furiosa

if you liked it, i am so happy that you got something from it, but i nearly cried tears of anger and frustration. i know that's a bit of an overreaction but mad max: fury road got me back into writing fanfiction, it got me into action movies, and it made me more interested in cinema as a medium

all that to say

i not only disliked this movie, i actively hated it, and i think it brings the franchise down. i'm going to indiscriminately get into spoilers but, like... please save yourself the money and don't watch this movie

first off, i was not jazzed for anya taylor joy when i first found out about the casting and yeah. she didn't sell me on furiosa. she doesn't look like her, sound like her, or bring anything to the role at all. this was severe miscasting, and i hate to think it was just because she's hollywood's hot commodity at the moment, but i can't think of another reason. (on a separate note, chris hemsworth was the one bright spot in this movie imo - he was actually really good)

the editing and cinematography had some good moments but was overall off-putting. instead of being spellbound by the whole movie like i was with fury road, i marked a few shots that were stellar

i HATED the plot. i cannot FATHOM why you would center this movie around some random guy who actually makes immortan joe look like a hero??? after watching this, i actually cannot understand why furiosa stole the wives from him. he respected her opinions, saved her from the guy she centered her whole life around hating, and just in general did not do anything to convince me that furiosa would hate him. i fucking hate this. why would you do this, george miller

i don't like jack. i don't know him. i don't buy that furiosa would tell him where the green place is because SHE DOESN'T KNOW HIM EITHER. WHY ARE ALL THESE RANDOM GUYS INFATUATED WITH FURIOSA. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT

like seriously, rictus, immortan joe, jack, fucking chris hemsworth's character whose name i am too upset to remember - they all just take one look at furiosa and go ride-or-die for her and i DON'T UNDERSTAND

we don't see her with the wives. we don't see furiosa with the wives. i don't understand why she was so loyal to them. i wanted to see her build a relationship with them, goddammit, that is the part of furiosa's backstory i CARED ABOUT

the fact that she used the fucking peach pit on this NOBODY of a man and didn't save it to rebuild the green place. she planted it in the citadel, a place she ostensibly hated and didn't realize she would be returning to. she used the peach pit her mother gave her in the home of who we're supposed to be her biggest enemy to get revenge on a dude who doesn't fucking matter in the scheme of her life. look how they massacred my girl. furiosa, sweetie, i'm so, so sorry everything in this movie centered around a goddamn MAN

i mean, they basically fridged her mother. this is every "dead wife as motivation for revenge story," it's just a mom this time. what the fuck, that's so fucking shallow. you really couldn't come up with anything better. no one pitched ANYTHING better??? bullshit
