I was seized with a primal need to know what this bird looks like and I’m not sure what I was expecting but:
I am EXTREMELY pleased with everything about this animal.

Hope everyone is staying strong and safe out there! This storm will pass

If you had told me the funniest thing in the world would be watching a squirrel verrrrrrrrrrry slowly sliding down a greased pole, I would have called you a liar.
Can I offer you a nice mole in these trying times?
Feeling especially grateful for these alpine mornings
imagine you’re a citizen of ba sing se and this new tea shop just opened up and has good reviews so you figure you’ll try it out. you get there and there’s this kinda rude scarred server but the tea is actually really good so you start to frequent it. then it suddenly mysteriously stops operating and you find out it’s because the owner and server vanished. then a couple months after that you find out that was the new FIRELORD???
He makes for a great ruler because hes done customer service
Dr James Barry, the first doctor to perform a successful C section wherein both mother and child survived, was a huge champion of handwashing at a time when most doctors didn’t wash their hands. For this reason, many of the chilldbirths he delivered resulted in healthier babies and mothers. He was also a gay trans man, who specifically wrote that upon his death he wished for his body to be taken in its nightshirt, wrapped in his sheets as a shroud, and placed into the coffin so that nobody would see his body. His wishes were not respected, and as a result he was outed at his death.
i’ve also been informed he had a poodle. He named his poodle Psyche. I’d just like to congratulate him on being an excellent human being, who not only pioneered modern medicine but also had good taste in dogs. that is all.
types of responses to this post
i thought this was fake but it’s not
here’s the sawbones episode about him
cis people
He was also reportedly quite the ladies’ man, and he’d apparently carried a child to term and gave birth.
he’s one of my favorite historical figures and ive read a lot on him including the biography Scanty Particulars by Rachel Holmes. a lot of the details of his life are difficult to figure out, partly cause he was very private and partly cause he had so many rumors surrounding him. here are some of my fave facts about him:
-he was very concerned with protecting poor people, women and people of color, aka all the people most of upper class british society at the time cared the least about. he worked to reform prisons and hospitals in south africa at risk to his own career, and also improved the conditions under which poor enlisted british soldiers and their families lived
-he was kind of a known hothead. he was rumored to have fought at least one duel (probably not true though). florence nightingale hated him even though they had similar ideas about medicine because they had such a clash of personalities in the brief time they worked together
-he was a vegetarian and took a goat with him on sea voyages so he could always have fresh milk
-even though he had an abrasive personality and made a lot of enemies, his patients, especially the women, really loved him because they felt like he knew what he was doing and actually cared about their health
-he died poor because the british army ripped him off >:/
edit i almost forgot the best thing. he didn’t just have one poodle named psyche. he had a bunch. when one died he would get a new poodle and name that one psyche too
“i thought your poodle died?”
“psyche!” [poodle comes trotting in]
this is the best response

people overreacting are literally more of a threat than the actual virus at this point. you are all so FUCKING stupid
that is EXACTLY why at work when we were able to get more supplies in I was putting them out in limited quantity cause I knew if I put it all out one person would come by and clean it completely out
the trucker that delivered our shipment today said he hadn’t even gotten the chance to shop for himself yet cause he had been driving trucks around so much! I ended up digging thru the pallets I got of product to get him a couple things just so he had SOMETHING for himself I was also telling employees to let me know if they needed anything cause I would set it aside for them
people are being greedy and selfish and its so frustrating seeing a couple people buying as much as they can and not leaving anything for anyone else
Those moments when you're trying to write in your grimoire and your dog decides that either it's playtime or it's walk time.
This might be effectively dark but... I’m just going to say it.
Just a note that this is about the COVID-19 stuff so... do what you want.
I can’t help but to think of the gods during times like right now. It’s almost completely a Loki move for things like broken systems to be revealed and laid bare during a time of emergency. It’s almost the perfect storm. Not everyone will die but a lot of people will if these broken systems don’t fix themselves during this time. The tiny threads that hold our economy together are going to shatter. The lack of empathy in the upper middle to upper class people who can work from home is evident.
All of the issues that have been covered up by capitalistic tendencies, illusions of stability and the need for material things have been mercilessly shoved to the forefront and now there is chaos.
In these times, I think it’s important to think of Loki in his worldbreaker aspect.
In these moments, He’s not pretty. He’s not comforting. He’s not lovey-dovey. He’s not your best friend who hops in to steal your snacks. He’s the exposure of everything that no longer serves this world. He’s the whirlwind of uncertainty to make us stand up for ourselves and create change! This is the aspect so many people love to avoid until you fucking can’t anymore. And folks, as lokeans, we cannot and should not ignore this.
This isn’t me being you should be scared of the god you hold near and dear, rather, you should fucking listen to him and listen to the gods now more than ever because I can fucking bet that they’ve been warning us of this for years. There’s a reason they’re more prominent now more than ever. There’s a reason they’ve called all these people to worship. It’s time to make change. It’s time to do things instead of sit on our butts and talk about it like the religious majority in this country and in countries around us. We are pagans. We are orthopraxic. We put our money where our mouth is.
It is more important, now than ever, to be a lokean. It’s time for change. It’s time to do what’s right. It’s time to call out these broken systems as Loki has. Because he can only do so much and it’s already almost too late.
Don’t lay on your back now and let these things pass you by.
Take this virus seriously. If you have the means, give to people who need it. If you don’t have the means, say something. Correct misinformation. Educate your damn self about what’s really going on here. Shatter the illusions. You are far more powerful than you give yourself credit for.
Well said.
“I do not know how to argue empathy at someone”
That.
Also,
I was cutting brambles near my house today and the cats were having fun chasing after them when I dragged them to the pasture to throw them over the fence for the llamas (who were eagerly waiting for this snack). Pandolf had fun too for a while, chasing the cats who were chasing the brambles, but eventually he decided this was too frivolous for him, a guard dog with responsibilities, and he went away for a little patrol on his own, like he does sometimes.
Five minutes later I heard his Code Red Alert Bark and went looking for him, expecting to see something like a deer crossing the road and Pan yelling at him like a school crossing guard, but actually I found a bunch of cows setting up camp in my other pasture, on the other side of the road. Their owner was still there, holding the gate open and letting the last cows in, and when he saw me he claimed that he didn’t know this pasture belonged to someone. I am fairly sure that he just hoped I wouldn’t notice and his cows would get to eat for free for a while, but w/e, I told him this was my land and he rounded up his cows and left. The best thing was how these cow shenanigans clearly made Pandolf feel very useful—usually his alert barks alert me to the threatening presence of, say, a badger, and I’m like “thank you for warning me about this infraction but I will not be pursuing the matter further” and he is disappointed, but this time he could tell that the thing he had warned me about was important indeed and he sat there by the road watching the cows walk away with a look of deep satisfaction, like “That’s right. An actual threat. Thwarted by me, Pandolf.” He is only 6 months-old but he is so invested in his job and it’s really precious.
in order to experience growth, you need to be planted in the right environment. throw a seed on the pavement and it will sit there for years, getting stepped on and thrown aside. plant a seed in spoiled soil and it may never get the chance to grow. neglect to water the seed and it will grow slow and shrivel easy. in order to grow, we need to be planted in an environment that honors our needs and cultivates our potential. you’re not broken, you’re not hopeless, you’re not failing – you’re just not in the right environment.
