My weird little dog: “Mother, how Dare you tell me not to eat grass. This is Cruel & Unusual, and a Violation of my Civil Liberties. 😤”

My weird little dog, 12 minutes later: “mommy I threw up on the carpet 🥺”

I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.

Cormorant fishing in Yangshuo near Guilin, Guangxi, China. Christian Vaisse

Cormorant fishing is an old tradition in which fishermen use trained cormorants to catch fish.

Edit: I was really exited about this, thinking it would be similar to falconry. I did some further reading on Cormorant fishing and found more information. A snare is tied around the neck of the bird that is tight enough prevent them from swallowing large fish. The fish remain in the gullet and are forcefully regurgitated when the fisherman squeezes the fish out of the bird’s throat.

I won’t pass a judgement on fisherman from 1,300 years ago, but today the practice is ethically contested.

I’m keeping my original links that discuss the history of cormorant eradication campaigns in Maine/New England

so many areas have been un-wetlanded and we need to re-wet them. if there is an area that makes a big puddle for days every time it rains everyone wants to make a channel to make the water go away faster. but actually that solution creates muddy polluted water flowing rapidly into the streams. the real solution is to dig a wide shallow pit to become a pond and make the water hang out for longer so it can become the cattails' and rushes' home. make sure to make the edges a gradual slope so the frogs can get in easily btw
