sharing this traumatized yet very very very brave philippine eagle from ph twt because ive been thinking about her since YESTERDAY

translation: PHILIPPINE EAGLE ATTACKED BY OVER 30 MONKEYS

A Philippine Eagle was rescued after being attacked by more than 30 monkeys in Bukidnon.

According to the indigenous Lumad who rescued the eagle, he was simply picking fruit when he heard a loud commotion from the trees, which is where he saw the eagle being attacked. The eagle is now under the care of the DENR for medical attention and rehabilitation.

translator's note from me: this got attention because the Philippine Eagle is also known as the Monkey-Eating Eagle.

and so the reactions are kinda hilarious. it started with people cyberbullying the poor bird, calling her an embarrassment

but then people came to her defense because 1v30 is not a fair fight

translation: That's how I'd look like too if my food suddenly attacked me

let's all pray for this diva and her hopefully smooth recovery!!

and if you want to support Philippine Eagle conservation (as they are a critically endangered species), consider supporting the Philippine Eagle Foundation with a donation or buy some of their cool merch where proceeds go to animals in their care.

If you are in a different federally recognized tribe in Washington State:

“I am a member of the (insert tribe here) Tribal Nation, which is Tribal Nation federally recognized by the United States.

This means I am also a United States citizen according to the U.S. Citizenship Act of 1924, 8 USC Section 1401.

Our tribe’s enrollment office number is (insert phone number here).

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.

I do sort of feel like posts are getting harder to glean meaning from these days.

That's Not What Unc Means

You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Really good write-up on the origin of "Unc" as a term used in AAVE, and how it's been turned into a generic disparaging term when it didn't even have negative connotations to begin with.

Can we just stay like this for a while?

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!
