Press release that describes proposed changes to the MBTA

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act was passed in 1818 and makes it illegal for people in the US to “take,” which means killing, injuring, or possessing, migratory birds in most circumstances. That includes accidental take, such as in oil spills, bioaccumuliation of poisons, or building on bird habitat. 

New proposed rules would make accidental takes legal. This change would mostly impact industries (and of course, the birds that they kill), and has nothing to do with people who pick up bird remains on purpose.

If you like birds you should probably speak out in favor of the MBTA. While those of us who collect feathers and such may find parts of it over-reaching, we also can’t just sit back and allow unchecked “industry” to kill swaths of birds in huge numbers with no penalty just because they weren’t killed “on purpose.”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Please understand that “accidental take” isn’t being proposed in order to protect you if you accidentally hit an owl with your car or have a secret little collection of found songbird feathers on display in your dining room.

I’ve worked for the the Division of Natural Resources. I’ve worked for the State Parks department, and I’ve worked as a bird rehabber.

Owls get hit by cars all the time. 9/10 of our raptors we treated at any time were car victims. No one is pressing charges.

And no one cares if you have a Blue Jay feather in your dresser with some cool rocks you found in a hike. We Don’t Care.

This proposal isn’t to protect you for these things.

Do you know who wants to be exempt from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act?

Oil & Gas, who see hundreds of millions of birds die horrible deaths in their sludge pits every year in the U.S.

If industries like Oil and Gas become exempt from MBTA laws and aren’t taken to task for accidental take, they Will not take responsibility for this impact in the environment. In fact, they’ll only get worse.

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act is one of the ONLY wildlife laws in the world that ACTUALLY has some teeth, as we say in Wildlife. Meaning, if you violate it, there may actually be consequences you can’t buy your way out of with wealth.

Do not let this administration change that. Tell them that they better not dare.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Listen to me:

In 2015, oil companies fought against having to cover their waste pits with nets. A multi-billion dollar industry that couldn’t be bothered to spend the money. To take the responsibility.

They will not do good deeds on their own. The MBTA exists in the first place because of the greed that decimated our birds before, the greed that drove entire species such as the Passenger pigeon extinct.

Without it, greed will prevail again.

PLEASE leave your comment on the US Fish and Wildlife website and let your voice be heard. Speak for the birds.

[draconym]

Please! I hardly ever reblog anything but this is so important to the environment and I could not have stated it better.

[slashrawr]

Yoooo they literally say on their own damn website that this is an atrocity:

“An estimated 500,000 to 1 million birds are killed annually in oil pits and evaporation ponds.  In one study, 51 % of all birds found at oil and gas facilities were in heater-treaters, 30% in various pits, 4% in wastewater ponds, 4% tanks and trays, and 1% spills.  More birds are likely found in heater-treaters compared to other sources as they are contained and are not vulnerable to scavenging by predators. In pits and ponds, many birds likely go undetected because they sink, are scavenged by predators, or picked up by people.  Thus, current estimates of bird deaths at these sites probably underestimate the true impact.“

I’m quoting their shit back at them in my comment.

Also, write your comment like a persuasive essay - this isn’t a vote, it’s a battle to change some damn minds.  The “Commenter Checklist” (PDF warning) flat out says one well-supported comment is more effective than a thousand form letters.

Honey II

Waking up I was alarmed to say the least, that Marienette Dupen Chung had moved me inside. How dare she, just because I saved her once. Ugh if the bed wasn’t so comfy I would be more than outraged. How long was I out? Damn only one was to find out honestly this was such a pain.

Rising from the bed quietly I look around, the place was covered in pink and Adrien. There was even a wall of him as I maneuvered around, beside were some outfits, which I must admit were less tacky than what his father makes him wear. Why did she have to be so talented for a bakers daughter? Whatever at least she was still below me. Actually where was that blueberry.

Curious as I am, I cannot risk being spotted by her parents if their home downstairs. So taking my spot back on the bed I wait like some dog. Though I could easily leave I’m a bit hungry, the bakers daughter must have something to eat. The kitchen cooks always cook the same things it became bland.

Just then I hear a click and those bluebell eyes peer into mine. I eye her quietly, being the goody two shoes she is she did in deed bring snacks.

“So Queenie want to tell me why you were taking a nap on my balcony,” she questions pushing the platter forward.

I don’t find it in me to lie there was simply no reason to, “It’s been tiring and when I dropped you off it seemed like a nice place to take a nap,” I grab her hand catching only her fingers, “Sorry to intrude. But it was you who brought me inside wasn’t it?”

Gulping in turn, she retaliates, “You can’t just sleep where ever you please Queenie, you trespassed first.”

“And that gave you the ability to move me while I was unconscious?” I smirk

Turning away I catch a bit of a blush on her ears, I must have made her angry, “Well at least is better than you detransforming out in broad bay light isn’t it . What would have happened if you did?”

To that I had no answer, I was dumbfounded by my mistake, god ladybug was going to lecture me, “Fine I’ll leave after I eat a few more of these biscuits but I can’t promise I won’t come back.”

“And why not?”

“Because believe it or not your balcony has just become one of the two places I can be free. I won’t give that up, but I can promise that I won’t bother you. Is that a deal.”

She hesitates a moment surely debating weather to trust me or not, “Deal.”

Honey

Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of the mayor. That’s who you are, how people should worship you. But it seems that a complication has arose. That complication being, Marienette Dupen Chung, a bakers daughter that seems to have a mind for bringing you down. Right now that very same blue haired girl with annoyingly bluebell eyes had just set up a party of my leave. Even more irritating the unfortunate girl was in the grasp of another acumatized citizen. So it was time to be a hero, no matter how much you’d rather leave her at their grasps. Ladybug wouldn’t like it.

It was just a few months ago that an old man had given you your miraculous, Pollen. Introducing you to the others while telling you the rules. It was only due to ladybugs deal that I had yet to tell the world who was the grand Queen Bee. Sighing you lift the side of your yellow jacket, Pollen flying shortly out. Which reminds me that I need to go and buy a small purse of sorts.

“My Queen.”

“Hello Pollen,” patting their head shortly then holding my hand, “Ready?”

“On your lead.” Was all Pollen offered as she bowed down to me. As much I loved the idea the actual action always made me uncomfortable.

Transforming, I examine my self at the nearby glass. Soft sentetetic yellow fur lining for my neck down to my stomach and mid back and black stripes from each limb starting aboveknees and elbows to fully black midway to the ends. Beautiful as always with my black and yellow mask highlighting my cerulean blue eyes.

I startle as Rena Rouge yells, “If you don’t mind queenie, would you mind helping.”

Jumping up to the top of a building the rest following suit, though our red lady seems to be missing. Settling to contain the akuma in one location and protect the citizens we set out. Marienette Dupen Chung must have hid near the designated area, actually I know she did. I turn away, looking for the monster. It was heading this was, what a pain. So briefly debating if I should leave before ladybug pops up, I groan chasing after the girl.

She’s either talking to her purse or holding it tightly to her chest afraid I don’t put either past her. But I have to get her out of here and earn some respect with ladybug. She always pats my head when I do something, weird but definitely not complaining.

“Mar-, I mean, excuse me madame but we are evacuating this area due to an akuma attack,” combing my bangs unsure how to act, “So if you’d kindly let me help you, we may start containging the akuma better?”

She freezes only a moment to frantically look at me, “Um, I guess, actually I can just go away from the area if you just point me to the general direction I shouldn’t be.”

Frustrating even now of all times, “ Ma’am please, it would be faster if I just carry you.”

“I insist, plus you need to focus on containing it in one area just long enough for ladybug. I’m sure by the time she gets here I wouldn’t even need to-“

As she blabbed I walked forward picking her up bridal style. Good idea as I could keep watch of what’s in front of us and make sure she isn’t suddenly snatched, “Ma’am we don’t know when she will come, we aren’t even certain if we would have enough time to deakumatize it before causing bad damage.”

She goes silent to this for a moment too short, “Then can you just drop me off at my balcony at least?”

I sigh but comply only to keep her quite to the way there. It wouldn’t get me in trouble either as it would be outside the containment zone. We arrive earlier than I expected. I let her down and she nods me a thank you. I consider a few things, one this is a nice view, two the flowers around the balcony are very fragrant, three it could make a decent spot to get away. I keep it in mind staring at the closed black door obstructing the view to the inside by curtains as I jump off.

———————

Although its been a while since the last akuma attack, it’s stressful as we prep for finals before summer break. An idea bursting in my mind as I exit school Sabrina trailing quickly behind me as always. Although she calms me down, even she can’t south my stress. I wave her off having my driver take her home making a poor excuse to walking home.

Though that isn’t what you actually plan to do. You text daddy that you’ll be out today and not worry. Then you find a dark alley and transform making sure no one was watching. Swiftly make your way to Marinette Dupen Chung’s balcony you don’t care if she minds it’s not like she’s looking through her glass door. Or even wants to for that matter.

Sitting on the railing you admire the flowers. They were simply fragrant unable to compare to your beauty but still somewhat a spectacle to see. The flowers folding in elegantly, you start to daze. You look at the horizon, enough time for a quick nap.

Stung through the heart - Ch 1

The sun was cozy it was the afternoon of early summer. All Chloe wanted to do was sleep on but alas her good willed Kwami, Pollen. Urged her up Pollen had been trying to better Chloe's lifetime piece by piece. The first thing the ball of golden fluff insisted on was her ability to stay in time. She started at the wrong time seeing as Summer had just started.

Through constant persuasion and the promise of cuddles with the oh so soft Pollen. Chloe groaned as she slowly rose from her bed. They had worked out a good enough routine to start off. So throwing the blankets back she stretched for a solid five minutes as Pollen nibble on their favorite honey dipped cookies. After finishing Chole set out as Queen Bee.

The sky was just melting the clear blues of the sky as it merged with the horizon. Only a dash of yellow and black being seen as the blur jumped from rooftop to rooftop. A solid thirty minutes of this and her body insisted to take a break. Now all bee had to do was hope nobody was home in the balcony she currently occupied. The garden outside was actually quite pleasant to smell the tiny accents of yellow flowers pleased her as well.

Lost in thought she almost dashed away as the balcony door slid open to reveal Marinette Dupin-Chung. Of all the people in Paris, why did she have to land on the balcony of the person she loathes the most. What a day. Glaring at the girl she stepped back, only to giggle and smile softly at the golden hero.

”What's so funny Dup- I mean Honey” Queen cleared staring at the blue haired girl intensely. A bit annoyed with them on a lot of replacement.

Marinette giggled softly as she spoke sending a shiver towards the blonde, ”Well you look really nice so when you have such a mean look on your face. Well you kinda look like a puppy trying to be intimidating.”

Queen huffed at the answer though her cheeks were tinted a slight pink in the compliment it was hardly noticeable, ”Rude much. I can be plenty scary if I need to be.” Queen crossed her arms, ”Plus I bet you can't even be intimidating if you tried neither.”

Chloe laughed as the girl had closed her eyes and giggled but Queen could only observe the girl as her lips pressed down on her palm. To her surprise when the clear blue eyes of the girl before her opened her eyes they were piercing. Jolting a bit as she stepped towards the golden hero. As she stood before her Queen eyed her down. Her gaze broken by the piercing blue skies that seeped into her own. She swayed her gaze to the left only for it to be brought back. The eyes she meets were deadly but the smile smeared on her face was lethal. A shade of despair rose onto her face as the slender woman's fingers traced her jaw to look up to her.

She ran, of course, she was just shaken to the core. In fact, when the blonde got back she collapsed on her knees from what she thought had just been a light run. She craddled her face between her knees and set her arms to cover her head. Pollen worried for her queen tapped on the trademark yellow jacket the girl never seemed to take off.

”Chloe what's wrong?” inquired the kwami with a maternal tone as it patted the girls head.

Chloe revealing only her eyes pleaded a surprising light ocean blue which seems to be crashing upon each other at the moment, ”I don't know Pollen. First I was fine the next I'm shaken by that stupid baker's girl.”

Now Chloe what have I said about the language.” Pollen sternly reminded as they continued to comfort the girl.

Chloe flailed her arms causing the kwami having to dodge quickly before the blonde set them to rest back at her side. Her back hit the cool floor as her face was covered in a scarlet blush, ” Marinette Dupin-Chung has the same piercing eyes as she did when I did something wrong. I felt afraid. That girl has never made me afraid, actually, she's one of the people I thought would never be like HER.” Chloe grumbled as she almost inaudibly, ”But got it was so frustrating cause she made it look so good and arugh.”

Her kwami giggled as it went to float above her, ”Well it seems I'll have to fix more than one thing this summer.” the kwami hummed or more so buzzed, ”But first let us go get something to eat I am quite hungry.”
