I'm not wishing for it, it's happening. Humans are polluting themselves into extinction by choice.
And all these wars are only going to increase as climate refugees try to migrate and we run out of resources. By 2030 we're going to be 40% over capacity globally on fresh water.
We have been trying to make a better world since we evolved into humans and yet we're still like this.
If anything we've gotten worse as technological advancements have increased and that made enslaving, colonising, genociding, wars, mass murders and all the other horrible shit people do to each other, easier; maximising the suffering caused.
Telling people to kill themselves for being upset with the status quo, because you're trying to make the world "better", is hilarious.
Everyday I learn about more mass scale atrocities happening all over the world and it's beyond insane to comprehend that our species lives like this and does this to itself.
We are beyond redemption when every single generation has uncountable made made horrors it repeatedly inflicts upon itself like this. We can't protest away or reform the human nature to inflict suffering and mass murder, if this was something we were capable of as a species, we would have done it by now.
Complete climate collpase cannot come soon enough, we need to die off.
Weird title. It's a beautiful project and photo but that yarn looks (and very likely is) acrylic, and while warm elephants and community fibre arts are good things, all I can think about when I see stuff like this is microplastics.
For me the worst is pillowcases, as I use several on each pillow and I remove one every few days so my face is always on a clean fabric.
Climbing into bed only to be greeted with the smell of mildew when your head hits the pillow, is incredibly depressing.
I know the solution is to only use one pillow case at a time, but after over a decade with this stacked method, I really like the routine of knowing to do a load of laundry when my pillows all feel too flimsy to sleep on comfortably, and it saves on storage space if all my pillowcases are either on the pillows or in the laundry bag at any given point.
Yeah but the Borg would be breaking into houses to force convert folk.
Then again those xtian door knocking religions are often very fond of 'mission trips' to forcibly convert folk for the cost of the 'humanitarian aid' they provide, which isn't unlike the Borg at all.
(Also in case you weren't being a bigot and were instead referring to what it's really like to work in tech: I do know industry isn't entierly cat girls in coding socks but most of the computers for career people I've known have been, so I choose to believe.)
Wow, they really are odd birds! Theory: Pel's are such an apex predator that they don't need to be quiet or camouflaged anymore, and moved those points over to looking kinda flash (for an owl) instead?
Also that owl in the third picture looks like a thumb with a suspicious face drawn on it, haha.
Thank you for all the owls, and for looking stuff up to answer all the questions. I really appreciate people with interesting obsessions who want to share what they love with others.
Any idea why it's so light coloured for a nocturnal owl? That's an interesting adaptation.
(Guessing it's nocturnal by the black eyes)
Edit: just remembered Barn Owls are nocturnal too and yet are light coloured. I've never actually thought this through before. Evolution is fascinating.
I have ptsd from my experiences with nhs mental health services. This kid is going to be destroyed. My heart goes out to them, this is so incresibly unjust.
Released to get bombed into the rubble of what's left of the Gaza strip? Wow isreal, so kind of you. If they don't get bombed maybe they'll live long enough to die of dehydration.
