#i saw this bc of an unrelated ask

Hi im a rando that saw your tags on a post (about the reporting native bird feathers from witch etsy) where I saw you wanted to know more since they're "just picking the feathers up" and unfortunately, you've activated my autism trap card, so get prepared for some lighthearted explanation and commentary :3
So! I dont know if you're in the US, but I'm basing all of this off of US laws since most witch etsy shops are also based here (or the UK, but I don't know as much about those laws). In the US, almost all birds are protected under either the MBTA (Migratory Bird Treaty Act) or the Raptor Act. Both acts are essentially legal protection against bird poaching outside of specific game seasons using certain weapons. Birds that are not protected are 1. Farm fowl you own (such as chickens, ducks, etc), 2. Farm fowl you can prove were Farm fowl (such as ducks and turkeys specifically), and 3. Invasive birds (such as European starlings, sparrows, and more). Basically every other bird in the states is considered either migratory, or a raptor, and is therefore federally protected from any type of poaching
The reason these protections were implemented was a lot to do with 1800s bird hunting, which got just... so completely out of whack. Do yourself a favor and look up "punt guns", as they're massive cannon-sized boat mounted shotguns that could take out an entire flock of ducks in one shot, and enable hunters to spend the entire rest of their day bagging up to around 200 ducks from, again, just *one* shot. Due to this, ducks, turkeys, quail, pheasants, and other bird game absolutely plummeted to near extinction, even including regular "pest" birds like crows struggled through poaching eras. This is also a huge part of why dodos went extinct.
These acts don't just protect these birds from regular poaching though, because that would be too simple (and most bird poachers don't think they're doing anything wrong or anything that matters, so they don't care about just lying) you see, the #1 excuse game wardens get when they ask about illegal killing is "I found it like that", which when you're talking about, say, finding someone with owl talons or eagle feathers, is probably the biggest attempt at a "get out of jail free" card possible. Sure it's plausible, but there's always too big of a risk that the person is lying and is potentially poaching a species that only has less than 50 in the wild left just for some cool bird talons (like condors, bald eagles, some types of owls, etc). To resolve that issue, these acts have it down as a felony *per piece of bird*. As in, per individual Feather, per Talon, per Beak, etc. Picking a bird feather off the ground in the US can absolutely be a felony if you don't know what kind of bird it is, and you have decades and decades of shitty entitled bird poachers, even to this day, to blame for restrictions being as high as they are.
So if you find some etsy witch who isn't native selling non invasive wild bird feathers in the US, you can 100% report them to fish and wildlife and land them with multiple felonies for raptor and migratory bird poaching. If you also want more info on why the post specifies "white witch", feel free to check out resources about Native American tribes and their privileges for hunting and using native birds such as eagles for cultural reasons. Certain native american tribes have specific permits for hunting birds because of the cultural+community benefits as well as their way of using the full bird without *just* taking a stupid claw trophy and throwing away the rest of the bird
In short, it's actually not even cruel to report them, and in fact it's the morally correct thing to do, because only native americans from certain communities have the right to do so (speaking of, it's also fun to report white etsy shops that sell "native jewelry", because that's also a crime, just make sure they're actually not native before you do that)
a big thank you to all of you for telling me this!!! im very sorry if you sent this at an earlier time and i didnt respond, i only use tumblr on mobile and whether it shows me that i got an ask is literally luck based for me
anyways these were all very great answers, i def understand the post this was abt now!!
and to the first one dw abt rambling, i may not be stationed in the us but it was still interesting to hear (you can absolutely send me more asks abt it if you want to ramble more)
thank all of you once again!!
#i saw this bc of an unrelated ask#i didnt expect anyone to ever reply ill be honest so im very happy for this surprise#also the native aspect was interestinf#i knew white witches specifically sometimes really dont respect native culture but i didnt know they have the audacity to sell it as well#still have to find out whether making beaded bracelets is like a native only thing or not (i dont think so but maybe im wrong)#thank you once again !!#genuinely very helpful#milky shenanigans#poaching

i do find it so funny for so many DC x DP fics to have DC characters not believe that ghosts are real, but doubly so for tim. like. tim drake? third robin? the one who is friends with greta hayes aka secret and formed young justice with her? that secret? the ghost character? lmao.
#dc x dp#dp x dc#out of everyone tim is the one w the most experience w ghosts outside of jld.#tho i guess it would be funny if tim saw danny be so dramatic abt his reveal that hes a ghost#that he just goes w it and pretends he didnt know ghosts are real#tim texting greta: am i just irresistible to ghosts? this is the second time ive made friends with one#greta: i mean. im not the person to ask that bc i did have a crush on u. unrelated to being a ghost. ask this new ghost abt it#tim: i cant he thinks i dont know ghosts are real#greta: friendship over. ure so lame.#rambles

here we are at seaworld hinata-kun 🫶🫶
this feels like a reference to smth and i do’t know what and it’s intimidating me
#ask#chsp#unrelated. i once went to seaworld with my family as a kid#and when it was time to leave#my twin brother (who at the time didn’t speak too much) managed to break off from the group and get lost somewhere#my parents saw him in this giant playplace and sent me in after him bc i was small and fast#so i went in (as did they where they could reach) and had to chase#my brother through this giant outdoor playplace. where he was completely oblivious to the stress he was causing my parents#eventually i got to him at the bottom floor where he was hanging out (he had been moving around the whole time)#and i was like ‘[SIBLING]. WE NEED TO GO HOME NOW. YOU SCARED MOM AND DAD’#and he was kinda disappointed but understood#he ended up getting us both more playground time with that stunt. it was impressive#he was completely chill being on his own like that two. were were like maybe 8. he was unbothered#he was just like ‘oh we’re done? i wanted to stay but ok’#and that’s my unrelated seaworld story <3

hello!! i just devoured col and i adore the way you write gojo in it 🥺 i was wondering if you had any specific song you’re particularly fond of that inspired (or just makes you think) of that series??
augustine!!! 🥹🥺 omg that is such a compliment coming from you!!! i am so giddy rn!!! ❣️ thank you so much for taking the time to read it and for leaving such lovely things about it in your tags 😭
i am also so so happy that you asked this question!! bc i have a whole playlist!! 🫣
i'll put it under the cut bc i put some links n lyrics + explanations ! i'm sorry in advance augustine 😭😭 playlist making is part of my writing ritual 😭😭
for 'do you believe in love?':
ozone - chase atlantic "i wish i was more of a man oh, no, you don't understand i neglected you again"
the meaning of the entire song doesn't exactly fit but those lines kind of capture gojo's stance on love when he tells reader 'not for me'! i think he's really aware that it's just not something he can give at that point in time even if he wants to 🥹
.
for 'tell me about love (show me how)':
turn to you - the careful ones "'cause i will always love you and i will always want to give you a reason in me to hold on to"
this song is my ultimate comfort song ☹️ i see this as coming from reader's perspective more than gojo's! it speaks a lot to the enduring love reader has for him, especially since they've known each other for so long and the feelings have always been there, growing.
in a lot of ways, i tried to make reader embody all the good, all the hope, all the kindness and purity that gojo doesn't think he can have (idk if that makes sense) but deep down really believes in. and it's important that reader embodies these things because it balances gojo out and grounds him in a way.
have you ever been in love? - the ivy "i never wanna do this alone have you ever been in love? 'cause i don't think i have, i don't think i have."
this one inspires the confrontation scene (when gojo says 'show me how') & the second half of tmal! represents when gojo makes baby steps towards all this love stuff and when he realises that he really doesn't know anything about it 😭 (and is kinda scared bc of that).
devotion - emotional oranges "and i'm ok with i'll be patient just take as much time as you need no more pain from my past to hold on to me & you we're so connected, you affect me"
this one splits into reader's perspective (first chunk of the lyrics) and gojo's (second chunk), and is pretty self-explanatory! throughout the entire tmal, reader's really given him all the space and time he needs and as a product of that i think it does something to gojo that helps him warm up to everything much faster, more organically (because there's no pressure or anyth!).
.
for conversations on love #3 (coming soon, title tba!):
yours - maye "and maybe i'll surrender 'cause loving you is better it's not worth it to fight it i'm giving up"
lots of lovey stuff!! the entire song really reminds me of them honestly, especially for a stage in their relationship when gojo's accepted all the feelings fully and grows into all of it in his own way!!
sanctuary - joji
this one's mostly here to convey feelings of ~safety and ~peace that make up a very big chunk of col gojo and reader's relationship! if anything, it's probably the foundation of why they work 😭
bloom - the paper kites "oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness and you fill my head with you"
this song is my ultimate falling in love song AAAH and i love the allusion to sweetness too (bc i love playing around with the fact that gojo has a sweet tooth!). this song is very much gojo in love!!
sugar - alayna "woke up in paradise found myself in your eyes baby i think we made it, we made it we were loving in lowercase but now we're seeing better days you're the sugar that my body craves (mm, mm) you're the reason i don't go insane i'm realizing more everyday i really need you and that's okay (mm, mm)"
another one that shows gojo very much in love!! (and alludes to sweetness again!!) except this is a lot deeper 😳 and more intense 😳 gojo getting really serious in his feelings!! the lyrics here inspire some scenes in col #3 so the song might make more sense when the fic comes out hehe.
tú - maye
more for the ~very loved up kinda whipped~ vibe hehe the song is in spanish and i searched the eng translation and think it conveys the same thing too! but the sound itself is really sweet and captures what i think it would feel like in that stage of their relationship! even tho i've written col gojo as primarily shy and hesitant when it comes to love, i do think that when he warms up there's no stopping him 😭
slumber - lewis watson, lucy rose "only you who can calm the thunders only you who can steal the colors oh"
this one inspires one of the scenes in col #3! that's all i can say 😳🫣��
i feel like the songs for col #3 already give hints on what the fic's gonna be like dwjebgd
@exatse also so sweetly sent me 'i just couldn't save you tonight' - ardhito pramono, aurélie and said that it reminded them of tell me about love 🥺 and the lyrics really do remind me of col gojo so much!!
but yes, thank you so much for asking this question augustine omg i really love talking abt things like this!! it's still so surreal that you enjoyed reading col and that you're asking me this now asfsaf i'm so sorry it's long hfbhd i blabbered so much 😭😭😭😭
#augustine tag#col tag#lots of songs under the cut and potential hints to what col 3 will be like!!#also augustine i saw that sweet by cigarettes after sex remind u of gojo and i AGREE dshjbsdjbf#lowkey i was gonna add it here too but then i had a max of 10 songs only to embed sdjhbfhsdaj#(and unrelated but 3:15 by bazzi IS SO IWA HBSHGFVASDJF)#(iwa - bazzi agenda bc live forever by bazzi reminds me of him too 😭😭😭😭)#ask#rep#augustinewrites#shotorus.process

I had. The weirdest dream again.
#i dreamt a guy i liked (not the guy i actually like my brain made this one up)#moved to New York for college. yes i once again dreamt of new york for some reason#anyway so i dreamt i was on a trip there unrelated but decided to take my chance and like. pay a visit.#and first i was shocked at how expensive everything was (lmao)#then i did the ballsiest move ever when i saw him and straight up asked for his number so we can keep in touch#??? i can't remember what exactly i said but i know i did my best to lay it on thick#and he responded with smth like ''wow you're a bit skilled at rizzing people up?'' or smth#idk i remembered rizzed was used bc i always cringe when white kids use it#and then somehow i thought i'd be able to get back to my city in time for like a lecture that day#absolutely fascinating i think

you cant text a girl saying "mondler is literally so good" and expect her not to go into a friends spiral
YEAH thats valid. in my defense mondler is literally so good like when i first watched friends i wasn't thinking about them much and how their relationship is so good and i think it's just recently hit me that mondler is literally so good like beyond just that they're so in love and cute together . the thing is that at first they don't make sense but once they make sense they really make sense
#asks#shira tag#also me texting you that was unrelated to the secret like that was just bc i saw a mondler edit on instagram

I keep being like damn. When I started exercising I should have measured circumference, and not weight. I have not lost a meaningful amount of weight in kg since I started exercising a lot in January, but I've gotten smaller. (Well, I lost about 5, 5.5kg in 10 months, but I lost that weight at the start of the year, didn't regain it, and now I keep fluctuating in the same 5kg range)
But much more importantly than the number on the scale, I feel much better in my skin, I feel stronger, I AM stronger, my stamina has increased significantly, I am more flexible, and my back/neck/shoulder pain has decreased significantly.
Who the hell cares about the number on the scale? I am not going to starve myself for a number to change. And besides, I'm gaining muscle mass, so that number is bull anyway. I don't want to starve myself and I don't want to keep myself from having my little treats, so I watch my protein intake and call it a day. A wonderful way to live.
Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.
Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?
Me: I am going to eat you
#my mom worked hard with a dietician and PT and lost a lot of weight this year (and the past couple) and then worked to gently stop dieting#for a year so her body can rest and so she doesn't do the whole starvation mode thing#and i admire the hard work she put into it and her dedication etc#i could never#but she got a lot of fulfillment out of it and i respect that#but she has always done her best to make us aware of what we eat without yknow. giving us eating disorders or scaremongering#science driven#and it left an impression#so when im like#this thing im doing is weighing on my mental health and my energy allowance#i drop it#which is why i don't spend a lot of time or energy on tracking my food#i try to have protein-focused eating patterns because otherwise i really notice that I get so exhausted and my body HATES when i dont get#enough protein#and rightfully so i have 3 hours of cardio and 3 hours of weight training per week (there's some overlap bc itc#it's more nuanced than weight training and cardio)#but even when i was tracking my intake i was not getting ENOUGH calories#like i was at a pretty serious deficit a lot of days and that was a deficit compared to what my needs would be for quick weight loss#and i still wasnt really losing weighy#anywau#this just struck something because a trainer asked me today if i lost weighy#and it was complimentary and i was flattered#but feeling flattered was in part because i knew i HADNT#my weight has been consistent for a while and in fact im on my period#but evidently my shape is changing enough that he saw a difference between now and three weeks ago#also unrelated but ive gotten some huge confidence boosts from wearing croptops to exercise where everything is unflattering#i now feel comfortable exposing my belly in public so this summer was croptop and shorts summer#and COMPLETELY unrelated but similar confidence boosts from wearing corsets#okay im done now#i dont think anyone will read all these tags but this was important for me to get out apparently
