#CROW NO

Crow: CROW YES!

[notcuddles]

It’s actually impossible to measure how many fucks a corvid give because there is no device sensitive enough to register such a tiny amount.

[pardonmewhileipanic]

science/animal side of tumblr… explain to me the birb thing

[red3blog]

Tail Pulling is a behavior noted in many corvids. The practical application is to create a distraction that will allow the birb to make off with the target’s food. Imagine being in the lunch room and a large fellow has a Twinkie you covet. You can’t just take it from him because he’ll defend his Twinkie. But if you thwap him on the back of his neck and then dash around to snag the Twinkie while he investigates, you stand a decent chance of enjoying spongey goodness. This is basically that in birb form.

Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:

THANK YOU FOR THE BIRB KNOWLEDGE

[whitmerule]

BECAUSE IT IS FUN

[queenbloo-blog]

This speaks to me on a molecular level.

[askfordoodles]

birbs just wanna have fun

[huntersonthewingarchive]

Sorry to hijack a little, but to put it bluntly, corvids are also pretty BALSY. They are more than prepared to harass other huge birds of prey which could deal them a lot of damage. There’s plenty of cases of corvids ‘riding’ other birds as well. It’s often to harass the larger bird out of the area, but as @red3blog said, they quite often (in layman’s terms) enjoy fucking shit up for fun.

‘Where the hell is the seatbelt on this thing?’

I mean they deserve a medal for having such huge bird balls imo

Literally no fucks are given by corvids. Ever.

I haven’t seen this post in ages but it’s my fave corvid post.

[thespectacularspider-girl]

Intelligence is rooted in how much of a dick you can knowingly be.

[shaenie]

Knowing this about corvids made my day 150% better.

[1deacthedeathmerchant]

An experiment:

Reblog if, at some point in your educational life, you have gotten in trouble for reading a book that ‘wasn’t assigned to you’ or reading ahead in a book you were given in class or reading under your desk

[supervillainny]

Or accidentally stealing 70ish books from your primary school

[shaenie]

I was constantly in trouble in high school for having either already read the assigned book, or having read the whole thing by the day after it was assigned.

[tarynel]

This is the next move to restore net neutrality

If it feels like you’re fighting battles on every side, you’re not alone. The struggle is terrifyingly real. But we can still make this year the best possible version of 2018 it can be. There’s a new opportunity in to restore strong net neutrality protections: The Congressional Review Act.

What is the Congressional Review Act?

The CRA lets the House and Senate repeal administrative laws—rules and regulations set by governmental agencies—with a simple majority in both houses. The resolutions can’t be blocked by leadership, amended, or filibustered.

This congress has used the CRA more than any other to overturn regulations that protect vulnerable people and the environment, but this time we can use it for a good purpose—to reverse the FCC’s decision and restore net neutrality.

We just need #OneMoreVote

Battle For The Net has secured commitments from 50 senators. One more and we can take this fight to the House. These are the targets:

John Kennedy (Louisiana) | 202-224-4623 | Email

John McCain (Arizona) | 202-224-2235 | Email

Orrin Hatch (Utah) | 202-224-5251 | Email

Dean Heller (Nevada) | 202-224-6244 | Email

If you live in these states, we need you. Even if you don’t, you can still help the cause.

Go to battleforthenet.com to write or call your representatives.

Tell them to support the “Resolution of Disapproval” and overturn the FCC’s December 14 “Restoring Internet Freedom” vote. 

[shaenie]

Did all of the above, the calls, letter, and emails. Takes a little time, but I think we all know that if we can pull this off, it will be worth it in the end. Please at least consider doing the letter portion of Battle for the Net. It only takes about a minute.

Colleges Are Promising High Schoolers That Getting Suspended For Protesting Guns Won’t Hurt Their Admissions Chances

Several high schools said students who participate in walkouts could be suspended, but colleges say they won't penalize them.

This is some wonderful news, spread it so the college hopefuls see it!

[doxycyclone]

Just saw this on the local news. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[nnintendoe-deactivated20210629]

Reblog if you have read fan fiction better than some published books

Help me prove a point

[desert-neon]

I have never reblogged anything faster.

[rootedinfiction-deactivated2019]

Should we…should we post examples?

[shaenie]

Tutorial

Okay, so I see a lot of my friends and fellow writers posting fic on Tumblr now, and as much as it galls me to admit it, I haven’t the faintest clue as to how to format or deal with tumblr as a platform for posting. Anyone got any suggestions on what works and how to manage it?

[starshein]

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

[dorisgayarchive-deactivated2014]

[allofthefeelings]

I just did some quick research; the episode (ep 23 of season 2) is called “Some of my Best Friends are Rhodas” and this article includes an embedded video where you can watch the whole thing.

I had never seen this episode before, and even spoiled for the scene by this gifset (which, thank you OP! I never would have known about the episode otherwise), I was surprised at how moved I was to watch this sequence unfold.

[spiderine]

1972, people. This isn’t some faraway sepia-toned history. It was an episode of a hit sitcom, and it was controversial. It was discussed in media as a big deal. 

You don’t get to tell me antisemitism is “over”. You don’t get to “bundle it in” at your counterprotests and tell me that your anti-racist chants and speeches “include antisemitism of course” (someone actually told me that). When you are dealing with REAL LIVE NAZIS waving REAL LIFE SWASTIKAS you had fucking well better put your “well yeah, of course” support for Jews FRONT AND CENTER.

[harleyismyhero-deactivated20190]

There was also an episode of Golden Girls that came out in 1988 that had a similar plot. 1988 is the year I was born. This is not distant history. This shit is RECENT. This shit is CURRENT. Y’all need to straighten up and deal with it.

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Shit, I remember watching this episode on Nick and Nite as a child, and thinking it was relevant to my life in the 1990s.

[answertolifeis42]

here is the Golden Girls scene that was mentioned

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

This is even better once you realise that Bea Arthur’s real name was  Bernice Frankel and that she was, in fact, an MOT sticking it to the anti-Semites!

Net Neutrality

My friends-- even if you only use the net to look up recipes, check Facebook, read your email, find a new knitting pattern, shop on Amazon.com... even if this is all you do... They want to make you pay for all of those things, the way they make you pay for cable channels. They way they make you pay for early boarding on the plane. The way they make you pay for anything that is not the mediocre norm. Fight the good fight! The Internet should be free! Do not allow them to tell you how much and what addresses you are allowed to surf. DAMN THE MAN! FIGHT THE EMPIRE! But in all seriousness... every penny counts now. If you still believe in free access to the amazing plethora of information on the web, without paying even more for the chance to access the sites each provider decides you are allowed to pay to access... THEN LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! VOTE FOR NET NEUTRALITY! VOTE FOR YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS ALL THE INFORMATION OUT THERE! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO STIFLE ACCESS TO LEARNING, TO FACTS, TO HISTORY, TO ART, TO EVERYTHING! PLEASE!! Stand up for Net Neutrality so there are more things to stand up for tomorrow. --------------------------------------------- CONGRATULATIONS everybody! We only have 5 days to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality! ⚡️ Thanks to John Oliver there's a SUPER easy way to do this If net neutrality goes away, our Internet bills go up and we give power to companies like Comcast and Spectrum to limit our access to the internet and its content. Here's what you can do - takes less than a minute. 1. Go to gofccyourself.com (the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page) 2. Find the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom) 2. Click on "express" next to it. 3. Be sure to hit "ENTER" on your keyboard after you put in your name & info so it registers. 4. In the comment section write, "I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs." 5. Click to submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end! **Copy and paste this into your own status update!** If you don't think Net Neutrality is a big deal, just look at the lobbyists and corporations in support of abolishing it. If you think your ISP has your best interests at heart, do nothing. If, however, the Internet should be open and free from outside influence and tampering, take the roughly 60 seconds required to express your opinion to the FCC!

[staff]

🚨 The FCC plans to kill net neutrality on December 14 🚨

It’s real simple: ISP lobbyists are pushing the FCC to kill net neutrality so phone and cable companies can block apps, slow down websites, and charge fees to control what you see and do online.

Our only chance is congressional pressure and legislative action. But we need grassroots support. Tell your representatives that you support “Title 2” rules and ask for their help protecting a free and open internet.

Go to Battle For The Net to be connected to your congresspeople. 

[catfishofoldin99colours]

in regards to net neutrality for non-us people:

i’ve written a short script to email Ajit Pai on why repealing it is bad:

Hello, As an internet user myself, I find your decision to repeal net neutrality appalling and devastating. The internet is the the biggest connection I have to the outside world, and my only way of  (persoanlise these reasons) applying for university, recieving my school results, connecting with people all over the world, connecting with my family who are currently going through a very hard time, even connecting to certain emergency services, learning many things I never thought I could before, and setting up my own small business.If you repeal this, the consequences will be devastating for not just you, but everyone around you - the entire world will eventually suffer, and it will be horrendous. People on the fringes fighting for causes will have no way to connect with anyone or make their voices heard. Small businesses will fall apart, and the economy will eventually be ruined. Education will decrease in quality, and sooner or later people will end up suffering in the worst ways because of it. Everyone uses the internet - schools, governments, organisations, charities, families, industries; everyone. And if this is repealed, all of them will suffer. I hope this helps you change your mind.

I have no idea what I’m doing, so change this as needed (and personalise it if you can - if you do commissions, run a buisness or have an online store, add that in and tell them that crippling a small buisness is a big no-no)

his email is [email protected]

if you’re not in the US, FLOOD THIS GUYS INBOX WITH EMAILS LIKE THIS. Tell him repealing this is bad, and add why if you can. Send him 10, 100, 1000 emails if you have too. 

also, remember to tag any net neutrality posts so that things get signal boosted and everyone hears about it - we can still add our voice, and we’re gonna need to.

FIGHT THIS. IF THIS GETS REPEALED, IT’LL AFFECT US ALL IN THE END.

[shaenie]

do this. do it every day. and call the fcc and your senators and congressmen. I have made 20 phone calls today, and will make 20 more tomorrow. An easy way to contact your representatives, including a script so that it’s all as easy as possible, is to go to: https://www.battleforthenet.com/

DON’T SCROLL PASS! FOUND THIS ON GOOGLE+ AND I FEEL LIKE IT IS IMPORTANT!

Edit: This post almost has 500 notes! The more people who sees this, the more help the Internet receives!

I still don’t really have much to add here.
