Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
As summer is approaching, I’d like to share this bird-friendly beach etiquette reminder. A lot of people let their dogs roam freely on the beach, but dogs that chase wildlife can have a detrimental effect on the animals that have no choice but to share the shoreline with us. Please enjoy the summer with your pets and make sure to give wild animals plenty of space!
Potentially controversial opinion here, but this goes for any other natural place too. Your dog shouldn’t be running off-lead and disturbing wildlife outside of specific designated dog areas. The amount of damage free-roaming dogs cause to the rare ground-nesting birds on the heathland near me, despite constant appeals for people to keep them on-leash, is disgusting. And for the love of FUCK, stop letting your dogs run off-leash in fields with livestock. Especially pregnant ewes and young lambs.
“But my dog is a nice dog and my dog would never hurt any animal!”
I don’t believe you.
The other animals don’t know that. Stress is enough to make ewes miscarry. Having to panic and flee costs precious energy. Dogs trampling nests is enough to destroy eggs.
Keep your fucking dog on a leash.
Important generally but also specifically for shorebirds. Many are endangered or threatened and nest in very specific places, and one loose dog among eggs or chicks can devastate a colony.
if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.
im like a cat i drag the posts to ur doorstep and if ur not there it’s ok, the post will be on ur porch for later
these teenagers and their dog are trying ruin our money laundering business. no tony put the gun down were doing this the old fashioned way. were gonna dress up as monsters and scare them
As a matter of fact, if your employer fires you for anything relating to forming a union, that’s retalition, and it’s illegal under federal law. If this happens to you, vontact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
you can’t waste your life btw it’s just not something that’s possible to do. your mere existence is already a precious and valuable use of your time. the time you spent becoming who you are now was inherently worthwhile
part of me misses the pre-streaming tv era where you could just turn the tv on and watch something random 😔 now if you want to watch tv you have to carefully select something it’s so formal and you have to commit i miss the casualness of flipping through channels and being like ok sure
