I love long, meadow-y grass so I don't mow my lawn. (Except the strip by the sidewalk, which is part of the public right-of-way.)

Today I discovered a ground nesting bird (a dark eyed junco) has built a nest on my yard, hidden by the long grass! Several little eggs in it.

#birds #dark eyed junco #even leaving a small portion of your yard unmowed will increase biodiversity #in the spring the early insects shelter in the long grass #in the summer the grass lays flat sheltering its roots and keeping them damp #in the fall the seeds develop on unmown grass #which the little birds eat #in the winter the old vegetation shelters plants and creatures from the cold #and the older vegetation biodegrades and renews the soil

i will never hate any bird. i love you geese i love you seagulls i love you pigeons i love you sparrows i love you vultures etc etc. all of them are special 2 me.

#my lore #a lot of the time they just get hated for issues human caused (seagulls & pigeons stealing food for example)#or like. eating dead things. (which NEEDS to happen or else diseases spread and there's animal corpse everywhere)#and with house sparrows. okay they aren't native to where i live (not really their fault) and im not sure why they can be so aggressive. so #i can't really speak on that. but it's sad to see them dismissed for being plain or common or whatever. that's still a little beast. be nic #and geese. my local geese have never been aggressive #unless you count parents hissing as a warning if i get too close.#which makes sense!! their babies are vulnerable and they're just trying to protect then #okay rant over. i like every bird. goodbye.

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr 2.2 #hsr spoilers #hsr leaks #the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am #i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before #but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one #so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days #it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me #but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and #gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it #and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story #not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know #but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game #anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :)#and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream #pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we #i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see-#-him here at least 🥹 i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out..#the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!)#i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!?#they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing #Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it #and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet #also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow.#that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!!#not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?). Argenti(?). Boothill. Sunday. Aven. all my men r here and i am eating so fucking good #Seven.txt #viddy game stuff

I love how my unintentional excuse as to why Alestair and Idan never have to go to work is because they ran away and basically quit without notice.

#this has always been a part of the story though as the first ever thing I wrote with Alestair involved what happened #but Idan stops working there because of that #Mara's job pays a LOT and is hire based so she can do whatever #Vilissa is like the only character that has to regularly work LMAO #but also Vi wouldn't let Alestair get a job when they were dating #as for Fae she's a sex worker so she does it whenever #Fritz and Jer are employed but they don't even get heavily involved in helping until Love and that is explained away (thanks Vi)#as for other stoires #the children in Sunshine are too young to work #the parents do work and leave regularly but aren't really heavily involved #and the adults just take care of themselves with the stuff they have or work if they want (like Norie)#there is no currently running school in the castle (but there used to be)#Barle is a con artist so he would sell junk he fixed up but after getting kidnapped by Shika he doesn't really worry about that anymore #Shika and Fria have disposable income as they are just looking for Barle (Shika the princess and Fria a royal bodyguard)#and Charlie is a bounty hunter so he has freelance (and later a courier)#Flick and Millie are child and Nick is jobless and he's a bird currently so he just needs to eat a little #Ebers is a fortune teller so she does that whenever #also since Millie doesn't care about school she skips out after Flick shows up #And Flick is basically kidnapped so she doesn't got to school as she can't even go there #Seth is homeless and gets things out of making deals with others which he sometimes sell expensive items to get money #Lia and Giles leave behind their lives to adventure but were previously self employed (small businesses)#Myrtle is a Princess so she has that responsibility and disposable income #Sylas is a hunter but there isn't really any work to be done if most of the kingdom is under a sleeping spell #Nym uses the stuff that Elysa left behind in death but he was a Farmer back home not that he can get back home #Pokey runs the train station and the venue but he also isn't getting a lot of business from the inner kingdom #that's just the main stories lolll #every story has some kinda excuse about not working while the story happens

guess who fought god and won againnnnnnnnn…..?

#somehow my truly unhinged plan of finishing a lab and two essays after work three days in a row fucking worked?????#so tomorrow i get to go birding and just enjoy it????????#WILD.#i MAY have to make some revisions on my chemistry essay but that will be a MINOR event #the bulk of everything is done #and tbh my professor has been ignoring my pleas for help all week - so most likely i’ll just end up turning it in as is #(and taking her ass to Dispute Court if she tries to give me a low score after not helping when i asked for it)#but i’m just glad it’s all DONE #i even worked ahead a little for next week which i have not had time to do in a WHILE #and now i’m just lying in bed :)) eating grapes :))#had a successful program today… STILL might be getting promoted… it’s an entire HOUR before midnight #life is GOOD man…#i mean. there are still Issues to be sure #but i’m pushing through it - i’m making it work #i’m eagerly awaiting the time where things Stop Happening for a bit #but for now - i can take it #i can take it all

the funny little guy enjoyer

#one time i almost cried irl because my friends and i were trying to figure out who we would all be as an animal #and when it got to me everyone was like ummm.. idk... head scratch #funny little guy?#i was so honored. becayse i am the ultimate funny little guy enjoyer #at the end it came down to 'funny little guy bird' which was code for those birds that ride around on top of rhinos and eat bugs off them #and axolotl #or maybe it was gecko idr #any way you spin it i was assigned funny little guy #BUT! it was authentic #because this occurred like one week after i met all these people #so the impression was FRESH #i did not influence the verdict #let it be known

Tumblr/Twitter when they love a movie in which the villain species came where the good guys' species lives, passed as good at first by earning their trust and brought "civilization" but then show their true colors and exploit, destroy and kill : This is an anti-colonialism movie :) awesome allegory, very deep

Tumblr/Twitter when they dislike a movie in which the villain species came where the good guys' species lives, passed as good at first by earning their trust and brought "civilization" but then show their true colors and exploit, destroy and kill : THIS IS AN ANTI-IMMIGRANT MOVIE WE HAVE TO CANCEL IT >:(

#thinking of TDC AOR and Angry Birds for both cases. they BOTH are anti-colonialism !?!#the pigs are literally more 'advanced' converting the 'savages' (the birds still living in a little utopia and simple houses)#earning their trust and respect but they actually are led by a king (whereas the birds don't have much authority figures)#and then not only steal resources/eggnap unborn babies to eat them but gratuitously destroy the whole home because why not #all to make their own country richer and people happier at the depend of 'lesser species'. it IS colonialism !#just say you don't like the Angry Birds movie (it IS less good that AOR which is phenomenal and smarter) but still !#if you see this as anti-immigrant what does it mean about what you actually think of immigrants ?#movie #tumblr #twitter #lol #double standards man. ALWAYS that on these hellsites +#colonialism #immigration

i must confess that fall is the worst season in my opinion and i don't know why people like it. everything bad about the world is represented in october - november

#seth.txt #1. the colors are dingy most of the month and aren't that great. worst shade of orange #2. sickness is increased as it is cold and flu season. when i get sick it's always fall or winter #3. seasonal depression increases as the days get shorter and shorter. why do you people like when it's dark at 5pm #4. the food is lame. people who love fall usually love the food or thanksgiving which is just mash potatoes and pumpkin which both suck ass #5. the holidays in winter at least make it worthwhile because christmas and new years are both objectively better aesthetically #6. halloween feels really superficial like no one truly celebrates it anymore on a widespread level. should be hyped up like christmas #7. idc what people say dealing with cold is way worse than dealing with heat if you have ac. i am always cold so colder = always bad #8. all plants dying is so ugly to look at and there are no little birds and animals around during the fall which makes the depression worse #i could think of reasons for hours i think i have explained my manifesto well enough for now #actually hold on adding another amendment.#9. having to wear long sleeves pants and socks indoors is torturous and disgusting to where battling the coldness is the lesser evil #10. the sky is always fucking grey for some reason fucker that isn't beautiful esp when it's not even raining #11. you can't go swimming or eat ice cream as easily. name any fall activity that remotely compares to swimming in the summer you're wrong

when mitski said “i’ve been big and small and big and small and big and small again” i felt that

#like fuck i feel so #small and cowardly and brittle right now #after these bright furious swaths of Enormity and Strength #my anxiety is eating me alive again and i feel like a bad person and a Weak person #a buggy little flaw in the system #a situation which is really not being helped by the fact that this time around #i have all these people that love me and want to talk to me and hang out with me #bc the cruel misinformed part of my brain that's taken the wheel for the moment is telling me that i've tricked them into this #No No They Don't Love -You-#They Love The Bombast #They Love The Banter And The Energy And The Light That Shines Through Your Ribs #Just Like Every Other Light-Hungry Person That's Picked You Up And Called You Theirs #little sunshine #little bit of goldstone flash #my abusive ex liked to quote where the wild things are to me #'I'll eat you up I love you so'#and then he did that again and again #and so have a lot of other people #pretty little bird sweet boy angel #and i got so Different there for a while #i was a stranger to myself #and if any of those past devourers had looked at me then #they wouldn't have seen pretty bird sweet angel sunshine golden boy #they would have seen self-assurance and a short temper finally acknowledged and ease in my own bones #but here i am again #small soft curling around the flickering inside me #lonely lonely lonely and too scared to take a single fucking risk to rectify that

The family of foxes that has their kits under our shed yearly is here!! Spring has officially begun!! The kits have opened their eyes and yesterday was their first outing as far as I can tell. They are so WIGGLY. They’re climbing (and falling) all over each other and all over the place. If I could get good photos for you guys, I would. Unfortunately, my phone can only take pics of them that are the same quality as sightings of Bigfoot.

#every time the parent lies down outside the den #the babies start climbing all over them #it’s great #also the chipmunk population is gonna take a hit #which is good bc they are messing with the foundation of the house by chewing little nests into it #AND there will be fewer squirrels eating at our bird feeder #mmm free pest control + nature’s cutest babies?? hell yeah #1st and 3rd pics are my dad’s

Cultural/indigenous knowledge and scientific documentation are complimentary, not antagonistic, approaches to conservation.

#ra speaks #personal #help girl ppl are being mean about things again #like first of all no this wasn’t a case of indigenous ppl being like ‘yeah the dinosaur is alive and well my grandma feeds it dinner scraps’#and Scientists (who apparently you assume to all be white Europeans) being like uhhh no sweatie :) it’s extinct but we’ll look for it lol #and then catching the dinosaur in 4K eating grandmas dinner scraps like oh shit we rediscovered the dinosaur!!!#this was a case of ‘this animal is so rare and so little is known abt it that indigenous people predict it sounds like these other birds so #it might still exist even if no one has seen and reported a sighting’#and Scientists (including indigenous researchers) using local knowledge to maximize their chances of documenting this species #they work together people!! and even if it was the first case which is patronizing and othering it’s still damn important to #document species in multiple verifiable ways to prove their existence!#even the ivory billed woodpecker would need photographic or video documentation. word of mouth reports cannot be validated.

i’m home with my baby again <3

i missed her. also apparently she’s been acting like a war widow and rarely leaves my room except to harass my sister (lovingly knock every object off her desk). and like, doesn’t come to dinner unless you physically fetch her. is my babygirl depressed

#bird noises #nellieposting #after this it’s five weeks until i’m home for the summer :((#poor creachur misses me #yes that is a dog bed for our lab but nellie claimed it and refuses to sleep anywhere else #so since i want her to sleep with me i put the bed on my bed #thats a lie she also sleeps on the random carpet square beside my bed which i put there specifically for her #shes so strange. little voidcat #btw i’m not worried about her not coming for dinner Too much bc we free feed them dry food and she’s never liked wet food as much #like usually only ate/eats half of it and lets the other cats take the rest #and she’s a little chubby so <3 all good #i hope y’all appreciate the nellie Lore

Here are some pics from over the summer, where I helped rehabilitate dozens of chimney swifts in my summer clinical!

If you think you have some in your chimney, here’s a kind reminder to let them stay! If at all possible- let them raise their babies and then close your chimney once they leave, they really appreciate a nice cozy place to raise their young!

chimney swifts are so weirddd theyre like if birds decided to be bats.

thats bats. those are bats. to me

#I’ll say this again: pls don’t reblog this guys I already asked but some people don’t read all the tags it seems #they are very weird little birds to rehab they ONLY eat bugs #they also are a migratory species which means you gotta go go go and get them healed up as quickly as you can do they can find a flock to #- migrate with! they always sound like they’re scolding you when they’re begging for food. it’s very cute!#definitely some funky little birds.#rehab stuff #also pls don’t reblog btw
