I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website

Gay Hooded Warblers

In 1988, a researcher spotted a male Hooded Warbler (which the researcher named Y) building and sitting on a nest within the territory of another male (which the researcher called X). This was unusual for several reasons.

Male warblers rarely build nests and tend not to sit on the eggs or nestlings. Plus, X was a fierce singer who usually defended his territory from other males!

Y and X cared for their nest together, feeding nestlings. It’s not clear where those nestlings came from- it’s possible that another Hooded Warbler laid eggs in an act of same-species brood parasitism, basically leaving her eggs for someone else to raise. The nestlings might have been Brown-headed Cowbirds, which also practice brood parasitism. The fate of this nest is unknown.

A month later, Y turned up on the territory of another nearby male (Z). Z and Y had a nest with one Brown-headed Cowbird and two baby Hooded Warblers. Z would bring food to the nest, feeding his waiting mate and nestlings.

It’s tough to conclusively label these birds, but it’s pride month, so.  Gay warblers!

"We're living through the ongoing fascist collapse of the United States but I still gotta clean the kitchen and go to work tomorrow" sure is the mood right now, huh.

The feds have deployed tear gas against Angelenos. The National Guard is here, without governor approval.

I should update this Tumblr to make it clear that it is less a ffxiv specific Tumblr now and more of a "I will reblog anything I find funny and cool and will occasionally post about my OCs once in a blue moon when hyperfixation takes me and I am not getting my ass kicked by Late Stage Capitalism" Tumblr
