Identifying butterflies as an amateur naturalist is like

Me: I saw the most amazing butterfly yesterday, I've lived here for decades and I've never seen anything like it. Surely it must be a rare species renowned for its beauty.

Debunking some common arguments about how I picked the wrong taxon for "hawks" on my stupid meme post about how there is no taxonomic category called a "hawk"

"Only Accipitriformes in genus Accipiter are hawks, taxon purist is wrong"

"Only Accipitriformes in the subfamily Accipitrinae are hawks, taxon purist is wrong"

"Buzzard is used to refer to Accipitriformes in the genus Buteo, so they arent hawks. Taxon purist is wrong"

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.
