"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.

You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.

Tis the final dawn of the poll. Scum chat I can rally no further with fanfic as my carpal tunnel has me in the throws of pain. Look upon you my scum and find the strength so we may take that 1.7% to a tie. If you have voted find a friend and make them vote.

We can do this. I believe in the collective desire to see Yue Qingyuan pregnant

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

probably a good thing I don't intend to move back there anytime soon. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on bird crimes.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

@freedomisscaryshit I'm fucking dying I think you forgot the word "feathers" in your tags?? or do you just wish you could grab whole ass eagles that land in your yard??

[emotional-support-husband]

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

[chekhovs-raygun]

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

these laws, as harsh and ridiculous as they seem, saved flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, and all kinds of hawks and eagles from extinction. the minute these laws weaken and people can make money off killing them again, they're fucked.

[lizardlicks]

this is one of those "no actually this regulation exists for a reason" laws much like work place safety and building fire codes (that Republicans keep trying to roll back) and is written in blood just like them as well. it's just not human blood this time, and the fact that people actually cared enough about long term future over short term profit to get it put in place is nothing short of astonishing. That it didn't get put in place in time to save several species is heart breaking.

a post-gel quickline analysis of "Jen's Bach Party" in no particular order:

team ty? team julie? Team give me a D! give me a -vorce!

Alicia needs to chill on riding Ty's ass and watch her tone, she fails to see how julie is at fault too, fans acting like shawna's hyping of ty is bad but alicia's is just how it is because julie is so put upon?? fuck outta here with that nonsense

oh so it is possible for julie to go to a birthday party and not act like a brat because she has issues with the party family

CHICKEN WEDDING shawna did get to go to jen and greg's wedding!!

jen's heart is happy, barb's heart always hurts, coincidence? I think not

i ain't mad ty said he's doesn't want to sign before they talk. they do need to talk, because hey they're shit communicators and that's been the whole problem on both sides and if--when--they call it divorce, they better know how to talk or else the kids gonna struggle and it'll be everybody's fault

ty is right that he fucked up not talking and coasting but he's also right that julie is immature and acting out. that "you're a liar i don't wanna communicate" shit is high school level oh wait

teeny and sam were both so over that chicken wedding and i love varied reactions instead of everyone in on it

don't just be taking people's dirt even if you ask alicia c'mon

wish we'd seen the whole bach instead of going back to deal with ty/julie but hey stories are stories

SHOT SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY

barb ate the wedding cake before they even cut it? no wonder she pulled that shit at max's fifth at least piper has the excuse at the time of being 2 and a half barb's a grown ass woman

also shawna read her for filth re: she needs to be the center and if not she forces her way into the square hole

we will never see paul's face because teeny sits on it HEYO

i should do a whole post on "BUT HE LIED FOR YEARS BECAUSE HE KNEW AROUND COOPER" but that's a whole nother issue

hating/disliking julie is not anti-feminist. it is the post "i do not support all women! some of you bitches are very dumb!"
