The author must have been eating woodland salad, candied acorns, turnip pie, plum-cakes, bilberry tarts, arrowroot shortbread, and glazed maple shoots, and drinking flagons of October ale and raspberry cordial when they wrote this

american blackbirds are icterids but european blackbirds are thrushes but american robins are thrushes but european robins are flycatchers and they are named robin because (checks notes) brits in the 1400s called them "robert" on account of they are just some familiar guy who shows up in your yard. hold on post canceled is that really why they are called that? what the fuck. they did this with jackdaws and magpies too? i can't even be annoyed. how human. "who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore

[spontaneousmusicalnumber]

The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:

We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.

Highlights from the notes over the past 6 months include a lot of angry vegans saying “you’re blowing things out of proportion, no vegans actually think like this!” and a lot of people who work in conservation and education saying “Every day. I have to fight people who think like this.”

As a bonus this post was originally inspired by the vegan who called me racist for saying we should kill invasive species

the sex binary is socially constructed and not actually descriptive of any biological truth. you know that, right? it's important to me that you know that

[sapphling]

i know people can be a little overzealous in describing political backslides ("this used to be the feminism website!!!" etc.) but it's disturbing to me how much incredulity i've gotten from other trans people as of late just for, like, saying that "biological woman" is neither a real category nor a phrase that should ever leave your mouth uncritically

One single spider has been descending from a very long thread all the way from the moon and will very soon, we hope, carefully touch down on earth.

in the future humans will have something called "sinus button " and pressing it will immediately drain your sinuses of all fluid so that it can be filled with other things like rocks, webs, paint, tar, freef (new fluid that will be so important in that time) and also dr papper

idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.

[kaylmao]

i truly do think that most people if confronted with it and pressed on it would agree. but it's comfortable to gain privileges from someone else's suffering, especially if you don't have to see that suffering directly.

You have to be anti-war to care about climate change, and you have to hate the USA to be anti-war.

Briefing: Environmental degradation, climate change and genocide in Gaza — CRIN

The world is witnessing a genocide in Gaza. In addition to the extreme loss of life, restrictions on humanitarian access and forced displace

I don't know if this article is perfect since it's too long for me to fully parse right now but exactly as OP says it describes the way the "usa" backed "israel" is destroying the environment in Gaza.

Another article that goes over how the "us" military is one of the biggest polluters in the world, ranking above many entire countries:

US military pollution is a significant contributor to climate change. If it were a nation, it would be the 47th largest emitter in the world

I have not watched this yet so I cannot vouch for it, but there is a new documentary about the American military's pollution

a big sticky bug ruined the machine with its guts. The gluey guts of the bug destroys the mechanism. The gears of the device cannot move because of the tar slop bug innards caught between the teeth. The big iron engine is smoking and sparking as a huge bug that is wettly dead starts to get cooked by friction.

How Cops Use Flock to Track People, Not Cars

Cops have used Flock's FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes inc

So the move here is to either regularly change clothes and obscure features when doing individual actions, and/or wearing matching outfits in group actions, yeah? Black bloc is an watablished tactic and now its helpful in anotger way. One of the Weelaunee Forest protests utilized marchers all in white hazmat suits - this obscured everyone's features. People resist "uniforms" but it's hard for cops to delegate and track targets if everyone is identical.
