wildlife rehab: baby bird feeding (training edition)
CW covers the context! feeding baby birds looks like it's going to be particularly interesting and satisfying for me, though we'll see how I feel about it after a couple of months--I expect I'll be happy to get back to the variety of tasks upstairs once August rolls around. we have a couple of "mystery jellybeans" in the nursery that are "probably crows," though nobody knows for sure, but they're *big*--6" long?--and *hungry*. XD
@anthracite I recognize that neighborhood! :D say hi to the ducks for me!

@anthracite ooooh, I didn't even know that was a thing! I'm going to have to look for it, I really enjoyed the book. :D
@Leucrotta I 100% approve of whatever you need to do for self-care, hon. <3

@cute_weeds that's an interesting line of thought... are we car parasites?
discourse ™ and fandom thoughts
so I found this where someone else put it and I have Thoughts
mostly that while capitalism commodifies it because it commodifies EVERYTHING, storytelling has been a massive part of human cultures since we invented stories
it's been a huge part of how we understand and contextualize the world and a huge part of how we entertain ourselves for a very long time
@kelseyhusky *sends many, many goodthoughts to you*
@Leucrotta *sends much gentle empathy and wards against brainworms*

"its algorithm will mute certain users so their tweets fall behind a “see more replies” link and their content will no longer be searchable. Del Harvey, vice president of trust and safety at Twitter, said to Slate that the primary factors will be how many complaints, blocks, and mutes an account receives"
