Hi from my lil 3 ear backyard buddy!!!
i like to have something for everyone that stops by. Sugar water for the hummingbirds and wasps, bird feed for the little birds, water for bugs and birds, shelled peanuts for the bigger birds and squirrels. Everyone seems healthy and happy today, i fed them twice this morning already. The squirrels have to cross the street to get to me. I worry about it constantly. I feel my heart in my throat when i hear a car. I've started placing an entire bowlful of peanuts on the other side of the street every morning, to dissuade this journey.
Because too many times, i worriedly check outside and see a car not even slowing while an animal friend is trying to cross. EVERYONE I CARE FOR IS FINE. But seeing this twice in one day completely fucking broke me. It's easy to make excuses for carnists sometimes, like "they are conditioned... they aren't seeing the real pain" but when someone sees an animal on the road and doesn't even slow down, they are directly choosing not to care. In zero of those cases, were there any dangers of slowing or swerving, there were no other cars on the road. The only reason not to slow down was because they didn't care at all if an animal lived or died due to their actions. There was literally not even a personal benefit to killing this time. Yet they didn't care. I've been crying a lot off and on. I feel completely hopeless. People literally won't even lift their foot slightly from the gas pedal to save a sweet little creature that's just trying to cross the street. There's no way we will fix any problems in the world if this is the level of empathy we're dealing with from the average person. Holy shit. Forget dealing with big stuff like decolonization or climate change. We can't even get people to stop littering or take one small action to save a completely innocent animal's life. Also everyone who is a "leftist" who isn't vegan, lmao no you aren't. You are willing to subject humans to traumatizing work just so you don't have to kill an animal yourself, when you could subsist of plants just fine (and most likely be healthier, according to the world health organization!), while paying for a completely innocent being who has thoughts and feelings to be raised in torturous conditions and then die just for you. Walk the fucking talk or get the fuck out.

Finding the one patch of shade mid morning offered, Feature Creep decided she'd lie incognito for a bit and then see if she could find some trouble to get into.
Lil squirrel and electric squirrel make me squee. *huggle* >w<
(Nick) Eep! O-oh, uh, ch-chitter? (actually chitters) Why must I love hugs so?
(Static, angrily struggling to get free) Lemme go ya little touchy-feeler, krzzt! You’re lucky I can’t shock you lest i fry my own mayor in the process!

Quite concerned about interspecies communications triggering cross-species virus transmissions, Muffins decided to ignore her usual breakfast source and go eat some tree buds instead.
