It’s FLEDGLING BIRD SEASON here in North America…

…which means it’s time for an annual reminder not to kidnap baby birds. Fact: most species of birds have almost no sense of smell. Someone probably told you that if you touch a baby bird, the mother will smell you on it and reject her baby. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. If you’ve found a baby bird and you touched it, all is not lost, you can still return it to mom and dad!

Pictured: a young Mourning Dove, after being rescued from the tender mercies of my dog, circa spring 2005. It’s a fledgling! Note how it has most of its feathers, but still looks a bit awkward and scruffy, and, being unable to properly fly, can be caught by an elderly husky or a child.

Help, I found a baby bird on the ground, what do I do???

Hatchlings/Nestlings: IF it is naked or covered in fluffy down and/or pinfeathers and cannot flutter successfully, it’s a hatchling or nestling, and has fallen from its nest prematurely. Look for the nest- if you find it and can reach it, return baby and then leave and let the parents return. If you can’t find the nest, or if you find it in pieces on the ground, use a small box/yogurt container lined with dried grass and attach as close as possible to where you found the bird or where you think the nest was. If it’s cold, warm it in your hands for a few minutes before putting it back. RETURN BABY!!!!

Fledglings: If you spot a young bird covered with feathers (may have a few patches of fluff) on the ground, it’s a fledgling (bird tween) who is currently working on flying 101 homework, which is normal and fine. Hanging out on the ground is part of the learning to fly process! If it looks like it’s in immediate danger (i.e. of being run over, stepped on, or eaten by a cat or dog), the best thing you can do for it is to gently scoop it up and place it in the low branches of a nearby tree or shrub, and then LEAVE. The parents are likely nearby watching, and will return once the coast is clear. If it flutter-hops away from you and you can’t catch it, then don’t worry! It just successfully avoided a predator (you), and therefore can probably continue to do so. LEAVE BABY ALONE!!!

DO NOT: Try to feed it, bring it into your house or car, or take it to your local domestic animal vet or shelter.

IF it IS actually for-real injured (bleeding, broken limb, attacked by cat, struck window), you can catch it, put it in a dark cardboard box (with NO food or water, young birds can aspirate easily) and contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation professional, but keep in mind that they get a LOT of fledgling birds, and those birds have a pretty high mortality rate. They may tell you that there is nothing you or they can do but allow nature to take its course, and that’s hard, but important to hear and respect.

it’s that time again! all the birding subreddits are filled with people who kidnapped baby birds and I want to believe you can be better than that, tumblr.

How I imagine the ABC Bridgerton boys are with skincare and self care in a modern era:

Anthony

This man is the biggest hater of everything that can be put on his face ever.

Kate will try and try to get him just to try it because “you’re just being a baby” and “it’s not that big of a deal”

The most she’ll get from him is a few pumps of moisturiser and he does that macho manly shit where he just scrubs it in with no care

Benedict

Benedict is the polar opposite of his older brother, he will try everything and anything that Sophie introduces him to and he absolutely loves it

They’ll both lay on the couch with face masks on, feet up, robes on watching some cheesy chick flick that Benedict is probably enjoying more than Sophie

He finds great joy in spending time with Sophie and so anything she likes, he likes too

Maybe it is Benedict that brings Anthony round to the idea of taking care of himself better when Anthony lets himself into Benedict’s house and finds him and Sophie relaxing and having a self care night

Anthony then goes back to Kate and seems shocked that Benedict would do such a thing but Kate admits she’s joined Benedict and Sophie for self care nights before and invites Anthony to the next one

Colin

Colin was definitely a little hesitant when Penelope showed him some new moisturiser and some random brand he couldn’t even pronounce was offering to give her a box if she promoted it as whistledown

At first he hates it, it feels cold and slimy and he’s creeped out big time

Then the more it happens, the more she offers to let him join her or offers to take care of him, he starts to look forward to it

There are even occasions where Colin is the one to do some research and splash out on something fancy to treat them both

I also like the think the three couples will occasionally go on triple date nights and the girls convince the boys to have a night in at Kate and Anthony’s. Benedict educates his brothers on all the things that can be wonderful about self care and Benedict even delves into the realm of nail polish when he sees Sophie painting hers, Colin lets Penelope paint one nail on each of his fingers and Anthony refuses completely

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

estro-boi

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent
