#migration season

[sitting-on-me-bum]

Every migration season, more than half a billion migratory birds fly over the Agamon Hula nature and ornithology park in northern Israel’s Hula Valley. As one of the world’s most important bird migration routes, the park regularly feeds the flocks to prevent the cranes from ruining crops in the surrounding agricultural areas. This image was captured on an early winter morning from one of the feeding carts

late to mention, but I take anyone with two braincells is gonna take precautions during the migration season.

Be sure to wear a mask and especially wear a mask if you're ready to update your vaccine status - influenza or covid/omicron. There's a bad flu bug flittering around, and you prolly wanna bring food to your families gathering, and not a nasty pathogen that could put someone high risk in the hospital.

ESPECIALLY IN TRANSIT TO FAMILY LOCATION. You can catch more than one strain, and stacking strains of pathogens leads you to the sick - stress of travel, harsh conditions, bad food, lack of rest, ETC. You might have resistance to a flu virus, but even picking that lil fuker up and then tangling with an Omicron variant will make you more likely to pass on a strain of covid to someone. Especially if they had a covid strain prior, and regardless of vaccine status.

Be responsible when traveling. Reach your destination and reach in in good health. I don't care how much you hate uncle mcFuck, or if you're assured some sweet cash from the family Will. That's kinda fuked up.

haven’t had enough time to draw s5 adrinette to convey just how much this is genuinely the only thing on my mind

I feel like there's something to be done with humans are space orcs/earth is a deathworld content and opportunistic diets. And obligate diets too.

Obligate diets mean they have to eat somthing because it's the only thing that provides the nutrients they need. Cats are obligate carnivores. They need meat and almost entirely meat to meet their nutritional needs. Any plant matter they eat is for other purposes, like digestion or getting high.

Wolves a facultative carnivores. They are carnivores, they need mostly meat to survive, but they'll eat fruit and other plant matter given the opportunity and gain nutritional value from it. They will always choose meat given the option.

Dogs are omnivores. When they were domesticated they evolved to line up more with the human diet. They need meat as well as vegetables and starches.

Then there's opportunistic carnivores (the most fun one). Herbivores who will eat meat given the chance. This famously includes horses (horses love corpses). They do not need it at all, but they can digest it and will definitly eat it. I've seen some people who have horses claim that some of them gain a taste for meat and seek it out. This label also includes deer, goats, cows, and hippos. (Also pandas, but like, that's kinda expected.)

I feel like it can be twisted in a lot of ways for wtf alien reactions. I also find if really interesting that there are no 100% one way or another mammals.

Okay, but this line. This line causes me pain.

Because it's not just the guitar that's broken. It's his worldview, his values, his sense of security. Possibly even a bit of his passion for music. He tried to be the guy who anyone can come to because he gives everyone a second chance, and that chance was taken and crushed. It was turned against him and his friends; someone was trying to use the music he loved to hurt the people he loved. He refused to sell them out to pursue music and overcame the temptation to sell Marinette and Adrien out to Monarch for revenge, but he could get akumatized again.

Luka says that even though he broke his guitar, Bob Roth didn't break him. But in the end, he doesn't feel that it's safe for him to stay in Paris; he has to leave his home and loved ones.

And he's not even the first kid whose life has been uprooted for as long as Monarch is a threat to everyone else. Some day Ladybug and Chat Noir will defeat him, and Ladybug will throw her Lucky Charm and fix things again.

But there are emotional wounds even the magic of the Kwami of creation can't fix. Things that can recover and heal, but still leave scars.

Chapter 5. Hunting Season

A beginner’s guide to the bot infestation

So you may or may not have noticed but tumblr has a bot problem.

These bots follow accounts and like posts but aren’t run by real people. How can you spot a bot? Here are the things you need to look at:

the profile picture

Bots are obviously not accounts run by people so they usually don’t have a profile picture or have a profile picture of a random woman.

the title

Most bots will have untitled blogs and a default header image. If they aren’t untitled then they have a typical feminine name for the title..

The posts

Bots also for the most part don’t have posts on their blogs. If they do then the posts are mostly porn with phishing links underneath.

I know this goes without saying but DO NOT CLICK THESE LINKS!

Here is a usual bot’s blog:

without posts:

So what should you do about these bot followers? Report and block them! This is how:

After that the staff should be on it eventually (they don’t have very impressive response time) but still, it will be down eventually.

I know you might be tempted to report them several times to get them taken down faster but don’t! It will clog up their system, so just wait until they take it down.

More advice here!
