I told a couple yesterday that I didn’t like the taste of bird meat and this is pretty universally baffling to people but they were like “But what about…”

So I started listing all the birds I’ve tried and didn’t like going, “Chicken, turkey, duck, squab, pheasant, Cornish game hen, I didn’t like any of them.”

“What about ptarmigan?” the guy asked.

I kinda thought he was joking since that’s such a random bird but I shook my head no.

The woman though went, “What the hell is that?”

“Oh,” I said, “They’re a little ground bird, kinda bigger than a pigeon? They make a really cute call, you should look it up.” I refrained from saying that their tracks confuse people in the snow because they look like massacred rabbits.

I realized the man was staring at me and the woman was fully just lost.

“You didn’t expect me to know what a ptarmigan is, did you?” I laughed.

“I really didn’t,” he admitted. “I’m from up in Alaska so I’ve had them in stew, but no one knows what the hell they are.”

“I really like birds.”

“Oh. Sorry for eating them.”

I shrugged. “It’s tough in Alaska, you’ve gotta eat something.” I turned to the lady, “But you should still look them up. They’re really cute.”

Those appear to be bird tracks rather than bunny tracks! Ergo, it was a bird hopping and then taking off, not a bunny getting taken away!

[danceintheskies]

oh my god thank you phoenix wright

[dinnermess-deactivated20200529]

yeah those aren’t bunny tracks.

[saffarren]

Forgive my sceptism, but why would a bird with a supposedly wide wingspan hop around in the snow in the first place when tree branches would suffice in the beginning?

Feel free to explain that.

[tinysaurus-rex-deactivated20240]

I’ll be real I don’t know much about Phoenix Wright. But! I do know a lot about birds.

The mighty ptarmagin! Practically a feathered rabbit, these magnificent creatures are built for the snow.

Look at those boots! Wonderfully feathered. They spend most of their time as little snow lumps.

In fact, they’re very well known for the above phenomenon.

These ptarmagin trails are a pretty common sight!

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

[prof-grace-aspen]

And by the way it doesn’t matter if you claim your community is “pro” something if the main actual behavior of the group is hating the thing labeled as the enemy of the thing you are “in support” of.

As an example, a lot of groups claim to be “pro-women”, when in reality they are actually anti-trans. Their goal is not to uplift women, it’s to harass and criminalize trans people.

So inspect the groups you’re in. Ignore the name of the movement. What are the people in your group actually DOING?

[gruvu]

Kinda sick of jesters. We got too many jesters this year

[gruvu]

This is how I feel

[etirabys]

oh my goodness, one of dian fossey’s first close up observations with gorillas happened when she was trying to climb a tree to see them better, but so badly that by the time she’d gotten up the entire group had come out of hiding to look at her: “Nearly all members of the group had totally exposed themselves, forgetting about hiding coyly behind foliage screens because it was obvious to them that the observer had been distracted by tree-climbing problems, an activity they could understand.”

[argumate]

hello, fellow apes

[spitoutthedaisyhoratio]

The lead up to that sentence is gold:

[consistantly-changing]

[Image transcript: porch. The group had been day-nesting and sunbathing when I contacted them, but upon my approach they nervously retreated to obscure themselves behind thick foliage. Frustrated but determined to see them better, I decided to climb a tree, not one of my better talents. The tree was particularly slithery and, try as I might, no amount of puffing, pulling, gripping, or clawing succeeded in getting me more than a few feet aboveground. Disgustedly, I was about to give up when Sanwekwe came to my aid by giving one mighty boost to my protruding rump; tears were running from his eyes as he was convulsed in silent laughter. I felt as inept as a baby taking its first step. Finally able to grab on to a conveniently placed branch, I hauled myself up into a respectful semislouch position in the tree about twenty feet from the ground. By this time I naturally assumed that the combined noises of panting, cursing, and branch-breaking made during the initial climbing attempts must have frightened the group on to the next mountain. I was amazed to look around and find that the entire group had returned and were sitting like front row spectators at a sideshow. All that was needed to make the image complete were a few gorilla-sized bags of popcorn and some cotton candy! This was the first live audience I had ever had in my life and certainly the least expected.]

imagine some freakish not-a-human alien THING has shown up out of nowhere and is trying to get into your office building to study you. but it has no idea how to get past a revolving door. it tries for three hours. by the time it finally understands the concept of a revolving door and squeeze into the building everyone in the office is crowded into the lobby to watch and call helpful suggestions. it’s conclusively determined that the alien is definitely not a threat, except maybe to itself.

I have seen the comment that made me unreasonably angry, and being the grown-up, I will not start a fight with someone in comments of more then year old post.

But I need to say it somewhere.

Basically the comment was "Gideon, like Ianthe, will always be number 2 for harrow, the first is always Alecto"

It is monogamous bs, yes, but is also absolutely fucking ignorant with all that we know about griddlehark

Harrow was ready to die for Gideon to live

Yes, she asked her to watch over Tomb, but she as ready to give up all her plans about releasing Alecto as a lyctor for Gideon

Wedding vows in gtn/htn

All the AUs playing around marriage, love or necro/cav dynamic

"I undone without you", "I cannot conceive the universe without you" does this sound like fucking number 2?

The whole lobotomy and "I will go into the river for Gideon to live" also adds here

She asks for her forgiveness at the moment she thought she would die in gtn

And, remember, harrow wanted to die with the Body on her lips, but her brain, lobotomised to not remember it, still said "Gideon"

Harrow going into the tomb of one her true love, and what is there? Sword and book of Gideon

"My affections lie buried in the locked tomb"

Who break into the locked tomb? Gideon

To be clear, I find harrianthe interesting ship, and alectohar too

But we have so much stuff pointing out at griddlehark that you have to be ignorant to say something like that

[corvidaelesbian]

I would say that the body is her first priority, but it is the body of Gideon Nav)

[mettaworldpiece]

This just happened at the end of SF trans march

That foreboding sense. Happened right at the end as we were DANCING. they pushed past us as we were leaving, batons and those non-lethal guns alr out. Whatever their story they were alr sending trucks up the backway on McAllister. Actually i dont remember even seeing any vehicles other than trans bikers cus thats our destination every time.

Multiple trans ppl arrested after being assaulted w/ no explanation. Whoever was left was pushed out of the Trans District or out of the march area.

Anyways everyone be careful this weekend if this is how it’s starting.

GIDEON AND CAM BABEEEYYYY FOR @tltfashionzine

[moveslikekeithrichards]

lately my kids have been playing Baby Knife, which consists of somebody acting as a baby with knife hands chasing people while going "baby knife baby knife" over and over. is this a thing or are they just insane

[moveslikekeithrichards]

we have a new teacher this year who has never had kindergarten before & she rounded em all up & told em No Baby Knife and No Zombies and idk how to tell her that 1. all kindergarten recess games boil down to Give Birth And Kill Each Other and 2. the absurd vaguely inappropriate games they make up are usually better than when they try to play an Actual game like soccer

[moveslikekeithrichards]

Baby Knife is straightforward. theres a baby knife. baby knife chases you. thats about it. when they try to play Real Sports every single child is playing by a different set of rules unbeknownst to the others and none of them are playing by the Actual rules. everybody is mad at everybody else and running up to tell on their colleagues for cheating every 3 minutes. this doesnt happen when they play Baby Knife

[kedreeva]

if no one's said it, it's normal. It's just Tag with flavor. Tag is boring so you gotta add imagination.

Our baby knife as kids was Raptor Tag. Raptors hunt in packs so the person who was "it" had to run around pretending to be a velociraptor and to tag people they had to actually tackle them and "eat" them for 5 full seconds (others could come to the rescue and save them in that time, but risked getting eaten too or instead if the raptor switched targets). Eaten players then became raptors, until the whole pack was teamwork-hunting the last wily or lucky kid. There were no winning survivors- the game was won as a group once everyone was a raptor.

[gallusrostromegalus]

My kindergarten played "wolves" where a pack of 4-12 children, usually all the girls, would try to chase down and "kill" the deer (usually me)

I was bulled extensively in elementary school, but 1. Mostly by my teachers and 2. Not during this, because we ALL had PBS Nature and as Deer, I was allowed to gouge, kick, bite, keep running even after being grabbed, or body-check the larger children into the picnic tables and other architecture.

You know, for realism.

In point of fact, I was usually The Deer because I was the best at evading/ not going down without a fight, whereas most boys would just start crying or tattle, which is no fun at all.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

We were incredibly boring. We played "murder ball" which was just Capture the Flag over the whole school grounds (outdoors only) and violence was permitted using the ball.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#We played Leeches (people run past you and you grab their legs and make them fall)#And Roadkill (body-slam your friends to the ground)#The teachers did not like these games

Your school would've loved Get Down, Mr President

[corvidaelesbian]

Our game was world of darkness

There were 1 zombie, 1 vampire, 1 werewolf and all other at the start are human

Vampires and werewolves work as normal tag, but everyone tagged becomes a vampire/werewolf too

You can tag vampire as a werewolf and vice versa, but only if you tag the back, so face to face nobody wins

You can't tag zombie

Zombies are invincible, can tag vampire and werewolves even at front, turning them (and humans) into zombies, but have one downside. They have only 100 steps. If they run out of them, they instantly die and collapse to the floor.

Each dead zombie contains one antidote, which only humans can get by tagging zombie

Human with antidote can tag vampires and werewolves even at front, turning them into humans.

What happens if you as a vampire tag the human with antidote? No idea, playtest never got that issue)

This was complicated as fuck, but very interesting

[sreegs]

gonna start making snopes-style responses to urban legends about tumblr

[sreegs]

"this how we lost post editing and it was still worth it"

❌ False

The John Green Cock Monologue, while one of the most egregious examples of post editing, was not why the ability to edit posts was taken away. This feature was removed because scammers would edit posts with huge note counts to try to make their scams look legit.

[sreegs]

"those are his hooves, bitch."

✅ True

Those are his hooves, bitch.
