Massive Birds Nests on telephone poles in the Kalahari Desert South Africa, a native bird called the sociable weaver bird constructs massive nests that from a distance, look like a giant haystack that's fallen into a tree. These nests are the largest built by any bird and are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds. Some sociable weaver nests have remained occupied for several generations spanning over 100 years.

for a few golden generations, we lived in a world where if you saw a video of, say, an animal doing something amazing, you observed something true about the world you lived in.

Sure, people have done things like trap and starve piranhas so they'd frenzy over any food thrown into the water, or drive a bunch of lemmings over a cliff to their deaths and say it was a natural behavior, but if you saw a video of a mountain lion leaping 20 feet straight up into the air from a stand-still, then by gods you knew a mountain lion was capable of jumping 20 feet high.

It let the amazing miracles of our world flow to us in digestible lovely packages of actual recordings of everything.

My point is, my baby nieces are going to grow up in a world where when the see a clip like this

they are going to have to assume it is probably fake, instead of feeling amazed by a creature we share the planet with.

and that makes me very sad for them

i really cannot stand the character archetype in film of the "unpopular nerdy ugly girl" being portrayed by the most conventionally attractive, thin, clear-skinned actress ever you cannot tell me that amanda goddamn seyfried was some fugly lesbigay loser as a foil to megan fox you cannot tell me beloved babyfaced winona ryder was a social outcast at her school you cannot convince me that rachel sennott and ayo edebiri are notoriously "ugly, untalented gays" even riverdale lampshaded this by fully acknowledging that cheryl shouldnt have starred as carrie in the school play and it shouldve been ethel cause ethel is The Fat One Nobody Likes and ethel even IS chubby enough that you could actually consider her "fat" but she's still an acceptably Cute type of fat but in the end she STILL gets denied the role anyway. real ugly and/or fat girls are straight up not allowed to exist on camera even when the narrative tells you they're there they're not actually there. im just so tired. where is the acne. [flinging myself against the walls of my padded cell] where is the acne where is the acne wwhere is the fucking acne

Some woodpeckers make dainty little holes that barely damage the tree.

On the other hand, pileated woodpeckers

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.

Our language is so right about so many animals. One of my favorites is the word for wolf: Waawoono (Wah-wu-no). That is absolutely the noise that wolves make lmao
