sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

urgent help!

as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he's starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don't know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can't afford it, in México the situation it's just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I'm forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I'm very sure I won't be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here's the link! 💕 thank you sm

While having evolved in New Guinea and Australia, the Daws have been a cosmopolitan species since ancient times.

What they lack in dexterity and strength they make up for in vocal repertoire. They are exceptionally skilled at speech, readily learning and using the calls of animals to tame and use them. They have long learned the speech of other intelligent species to cooperate with them. Before people knew of other intelligent beings across the world, all species first knew of the little people in the trees.

Highly social and gregarious, they form especially close bonds with their mates, most often as monogamous pairs but occasionally as triads and quartets. Daws lack any form of obvious sexual dimorphism or gender roles. Usually both sexes are expected to court, be colorful, brood their eggs, and tend to eachother.

It is claimed by some that it is the Daws who are the most important of all species, that it was them who taught all other species their gift of language. But this is what Daws themselves believe, and they might be biased.
