in this world where so many members of our species, with supposed moral agency, are killing small things for nothing but the crime of existing, and so many are blind to the value of any species which does not benefit them in a way they can personally measure... do you ever feel so so panicked and suffocated?

#i had to walk onto the tracks at the NYC Times Square station to retrieve an injured pigeon who was trapped down there #no idle police officers or MTA personnel cared at all when I explained that an injured animal was trapped on the tracks #the MTA staff told me to ask the cops to help #the cops told me to ask MTA staff for help #the cops said “if it were a person that would be different”#i looked like a crazy person bc i was having a panic attack and trying to ask people for help at the same time #my partner called animal control and they said there was nothing they could do #the Wild Bird Fund does not have the resources to retrieve animals but said that if i could catch the pigeon i was welcome to bring them in #and you know what #i did #if someone is in a life-and-death situation and you are in a position to help them then YOU SHOULD #what kind of fucking person would i be if i saw this pigeon #whom i am perfectly physically able to rescue from their situation #and i said wow that's too bad that they're going to die down there #if only it weren't illegal/dangerous to go onto the tracks #a cell phone is valued 1000% more than a non-human's life #it's fucked up guys (:#anyway i learned first hand that literally no one in NYC will stop you from doing anything at all #as long as you aren't brandishing a weapon or some other murderous action literally no one cares what you're doing and will not stop you #so be punk and take action #fuck speciesism #animal rights #animal welfare #humans are animals #also sorry but people stomping on bugs who are literally OUTSIDE and doing seriously nothing but existing #why would you do that #please get help #talk to a therapist

January 18, 2024. Sandhill Crane Flyby!!

I live at the VERY edge of a Sandhill Crane migration route, and I saw a flock of at least 40 flying southwest today at 3:52PM! I haven't seen any in a couple years, and this is the biggest group I've spotted. Usually I catch them with their strung-together rattle calls, but these guys were pretty quiet (just a couple brief rattles today, which was thankfully still enough to make me look up through the trees!). Allegedly it was 28ºF today but felt like 21°F--I hope they were staying warm up there. Safe travels, friends!!

#birds #sandhill cranes #bird photography #(barely lmao sorry y'all)#my photography #SERIOUSLY THIS WAS SUCH A FUCKING DELIGHT I LOVE THEM!!!#and i was SO impressed by how big the flock was!!#usually i spot little groups (6-8)#this one was Impressive #and yeah i absolutely did sprint around the tree cover and take a shitty video of them vanishing off into the distance #(this is how i counted at least forty. i didn't have my glasses on lol)#i do listen in the fall and winter when i'm at my desk because usually i hear the rattles through my window #and then sprint outside to see if i can see them #today my walk was perfectly timed to catch them as i went around the block!!!#which is good cuz they were so quiet lol #if you click and zoom on the picture you can see their Crane-ness better!!#thanks for stellar image quality tumblr lolol

What's the silliest thing Mav ever did? When did he make you laugh the hardest?

Mav was a thief (yes) but he never really destroyed things, he just wanted to possess them. One of his silliest things was when you'd give him something (like say, a leaf) and he would just.... hold it.... until someone took it away or he fell asleep. He did this all the time with toys or socks or anything.

Mav made me laugh all the time. This morning I planned our last little hike so it was more grass and less swamp (so I wouldn't have to wash him) and within three minutes of getting out of the car, he rolled in absolutely vile muskrat poop. It made me laugh because he hadn't been scent rolling very much lately so that was a delight, and because of course he did.

#about mav #mav memories #thank you for the ask!#i had to walk pike so i had time to think about some of his silliest moments #he was a silly dog so there were a lot of them #he had the biggest sense of humor and never took anything seriously #except birds

sometimes when playing ark you completely forget about something you’ve read.

I finally build a nice little enclosure for all (I think it’s around this number) 30 dodos. I put a feeding trough in and fill it up. I set everyone to passive flee, wandering, disabled mating.

I take a quick step outside to grab something, come back, look up in horror at all the mating hearts floating above the enclosure. I completely forgot that you can’t turn off mating when they’re wandering, and that they automatically mate when they wander.

so I guess I’m gonna have to deal with that tomorrow (use the resulting eggs to make kibble)

#Emu tries to post #ark #ark survival evolved #this is a lovely game in whyi go looking for a spino which I don’t find #I go down to rest my pteranodon #all the other pteranodons which were carrying the spino trap supplies and narcotics and such are being annoying.#a pachyrhinosaurus walks up to me #much shenanigans in taking her like losing half my narcotics when I forgot to feed them to her and she woke up #because I was too busy watching a pack of terror birds terrorise everything in sight #one is swimming trying to get me #i knock it out #take him #go back to the pachyrhinosaurus #in our way back to base there’s a higher level male #I knock him out after wasting many arrows hitting his head #I go to out the narcotics and food in his inventory #while exiting the inventory a dilo has murdered him #because I set all my tames to passive so they wouldn’t kill him before I knocked him out #so I had to tell them to kill the dilo #but anyway I go home to make saddles and dye them blue and red for the new guys #I think my best name for anything so far would be cowboy the fastest #my gallimimus #she’s wonderful #very good dino to command others from #since I can just yeet myself away at light speed

The Lovers

bonus, the instant before he bit her entire face and ruined the mood:

#peafowl #peacocks #peahens #birds #my pets #artemis #stan the peachick #it is vital that you know #they were standing there together #because they got stuck #they walked forward and then encountered #bucket and sawhorse #and could not figure out how to back up #to escape this inescapable corner put before them by god

i can hear the frogs ૮˶• ﻌ •˶ა ♡⁠ there's this fenced off area nearby with tall grass and a pond in the middle they have to themselves. there are so many of them!

u can hear them in the distance from my back patio but i followed the sound one night and found the source 😌 it's good to hear them again.

#hello spring‚ i see u coming 🙏🏾#i know we're getting out of winter because i can just wear pants in the back now instead of needing like 5 layers for it to be tolerable 💀#y'all i have been SUFFERING 😭#before i started hrt i could b chillin w a frappe in a tshirt in 20°F no problem but that is very not the case anymore lmaoo #rn it's 44° and I'm fine w just my lil jacket 👼🏾#im not sure how cold is “cold” to me actually 🧐#anyways.. i love spring. spring and autumn r my favorite seasons #my favorite part of spring is seeing the transition into it. u know when flowers start budding and ur walks start looking noticably more #vibrant 0: and the different animal sounds and encounters. get a lil boost of energy myself (⁠✿ ‚‚⌒‿⌒‚‚) spring is lovely!#part of why i like hanging out in the back is bc i genuinely love to watch the seasons go by and participate 😔💕#i feed animals year round! rn the seeds i feed to the birds during the day attract bunnies at night - usually just 1 at a time #and the bunnies attract the dog that's not a dog I've seen twice so far o: interesting stuff!#I'm glad as it ran off after the rabbit it didn't notice me bc it passed by right in front of me 💀 but idk #the other time they were just passing by on the other side here n we noticed each other n locked eyes for a bit then they kept waking #it wasn't threatening or anything but i don't know what they are ૮ – ﻌ–ა hmm. i would love to see them again

Cloud Retainer will act so formal and put together, but. In a romantic relationship, there will be. A Notable increase in how affectionate she is to her person.
