thinkin thoughts! this one’s called “niche market”
seeing everyone’s tags on this over the years makes me so emotional. I made this when I was 22 and just starting hrt, and I was so worried I’d be single forever because I wasn’t an easy fit. I’m happily married now and very glad I am who I am. sending endless love to all the other basement ska shows
It's very clear that Andrew Tate and other "redpill" influencers of his ilk didn't understand The Matrix (or maybe didn't even watch it) it they think that escaping the Matrix means living a life of luxury and fame. They got it exactly backwards.
Escaping the Matrix in the movie means living a life of hardship and discomfort. But it's a life that is full of genuine experiences and connections that aren't designed to exploit you.
To hammer the point even more, the motivation of the traitor character is to live a life of luxury and fame inside the Matrix, not caring that it's fake.
I think a lot of those people see escaping the Matrix as "you get to warp reality as you see fit and have superpowers." They see privilege as the reward for their efforts of understanding the systems in control of our world.
They forget that it means knowing your body is still in the real world, fighting against the cold and metal that want you dead for as long as you live outside of their jurisdiction.
They don't want to escape the Matrix. They just want to rule the Matrix. They want to be Agent Smith and think they're Neo.
Lead poisoning FROM BULLETS. The Romans would have started breaking out into hives and sacrifices by three pm
Important tags from @spontaneousmusicalnumber about how they’re eating lead
To be more clear, this has been happening for a long time, and the reason it happens is that most birds of prey, and especially Bald Eagles, scavenge carcasses.
Lead is the cheapest, most readily available form of ammunition. It’s also brittle, and shatters into multiple little particles once it makes contact with its target.
Sometimes hunters will field dress their prey (ie butchering the animal on the spot, taking the meat home, and leaving the rest for scavengers). This is great and natural, but if the hunter used lead ammunition, there will likely still be pieces of lead in the carcass. Also, sometimes the animal gets away with lead shot still in its body. I interned at the facility in the post above, and we would often get donations of roadkill for the sanctuary’s residents. Every piece of roadkill had to be x-rayed before we could cut it up to feed the birds. Sometimes there’d be a deer leg that still had lead in it, and that had to be thrown away. Even roadkill isn’t safe.
Lead is also used in fishing tackle, where it is sometimes swallowed by fish, or cut from lines and left to sink to the bottom where it can be mistaken as food by loons or diving ducks. Lead sinkers that have been swallowed by fish can also poison eagles.
Seed-eating birds such as turkeys, pheasants, quail, and mourning doves may also peck at and ingest spent shot, mistaking it for seed.
And it only takes a piece of lead smaller than a pea to kill a bird.
Lead stays in the system, so scavenging a few pieces here and there can build up to that “pea-size” fast. It travels up the food chain too; if an eagle eats a lead-poisoned duck, that eagle is now also poisoned.
Lead poisoning is not a pleasant death. The bird becomes lethargic and weak, and begin to lose weight as their appetite decreases. Sometimes they exhibit neurological issues. The eagle above went blind and was involuntarily vocalizing. They may develop a head tilt or become paralyzed in certain parts of their body. Eventually they will be unable to fly, then walk, then slip into a coma before they eventually die. It is a long and expensive treatment to save a lead-poisoned bird, and many of the lucky birds that make it to rehab, even if they’ve come in for some other reason, have at least some exposure to lead. If it’s just a small amount, or they’re only in the early stages of lead poisoning, they can usually be saved. If they’re too far gone, like the eagle in the post above unfortunately was, they often have to be euthanized before they suffer a worse death.
Sometimes these birds that rehabbers spent so much time (usually unpaid), effort, heartbreak, and money (usually donations) into saving are just going out there to eat more lead. The birds don’t know any better. They don’t know that their food has poison in it. The best thing we can do is to Stop. Putting. Lead. In. The. Environment.
If you hunt or fish, or you have friends or family that hunt or fish, switch to non-lead alternatives. Campaign for the full ban of lead ammunition and tackle. Spread the word on why this is so important, as many people see their right to lead as a right to choose, and don’t fully understand the impact of that choice.

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-
And that's it! For Now!!
Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(
But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine
Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...
Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.
Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....
Little V1 I forgot to post!

Okay, how the hell. This is THE most crystal clear version of Smile Bomb I’ve listened to, and the creditless opening video is also like SHARP, like holy shit this is as if it were released TODAY type of clarity and it’s messing with me.

CIS COWORKER — Hey you seem really into wizards and stuff, I bet you love Harry Potter :)
EMPATHY — He’s just trying to be polite and make conversation. He doesn’t know about JK Rowling’s opinions on trans people. Let’s politely change the subject.
