Sounds like my sister who won't take her ADHD meds bc she forgets
me and my brother: *explains how adhd affects us*
our parents: that's not adhd, that's normal
me and my brother:
Me: Joins Tumblr because of enjoying people's shitposts and wholesomenesses that I watched over Youtube
me, two days later: "HOW HAVE I BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO MY OLD FAVORITE FANDOMS- WHAT IS THIS PLACE???"
In a very southern accent, affectionately: Aw well just bless their little hearts, they're trying
(Translation- [affectionate tone] well they're so cute but they're dumber than a stack of bricks)
Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.
How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong
the only time you're allowed to not be anti-monarchy is if you're getting knighted. like yes these old cunts really need to rot in a box but you have a chance to be head to toe swag as hell and you're gonna have to take it
Empathy is a beautiful thing
i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone
Sure says something when you ask someone what the general demeanour and personality of the bird they’re rehoming is and all you get back is “they’re loud”
Ty so much for that very helpful totally answered my question
