If I may add the very hardcore Pink-footed Goose

my favourite hobby is to add unnecessarily negative comments about animals that don't have a moral compass because they are animals onto positive posts about said animal and piss everyone off and be really annoying

Tell me who this everyone I’m pissing off by stating I dislike Canadian geese due to my personal experiences with them? Holy shit get offline and go out side and touch some grass you chronically online disaster. You are literally the only person on this posts who gives a fuck.

you rn ^

Oh man I DESPISE when I make an animal appreciation post and some jackass comes along to be nasty about said animal. Truly schoolyard bully behavior. You can dislike any animal you want without being a twat.

this person reblogged this FROM YOU which i know you've made several posts before about that exact thing. which is crazy.

Me at anyone who follows me but still wants to make nasty comments on people’s cool animal posts

i think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and i think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes

the rattlesnake is an admirable creature whose virtues we should emulate

One time at dance some rando grabbed me by the waist and told me to dance with him and I told him “if you don’t let go I’m going to bite you” and he didn’t let go so I bit him and that really should be the end of the story but he thought that was funny so I turned around and gave him a donkey kick to the shins and took about a 4 inch strip of skin with me so what I learned that day is when one is without debilitating venom, one must be as a horse do

[Image ID: A series of tweets on the recent VolksWagon election vote results posted at 12:50 AM, 4/20/24.

First tweet by Daily Union Elections, text reads: "I'VE SEEN ENOUGH! With roughly 50% of all possible votes in, UAW holds an insurmountable lead which would either require a massive tallying error or statistically improbable remaining vote share to flip. VW voted #UnionYes to join UAW."

Screenshot of a vote tally of UAW Volkswagon Election Vote Results: 1650 Yes Votes (75% Yes) in green text 549 No Votes (25% No) in red text

@ErikLoomis responds at 1:30 AM: "Shoutout here not only to the current workers and organizers in the South, but to the ones who never lived to see this day--Myles Horton and the others at the Highlander Center. Lucy Randolph Mason and those trying to get the CIO to do Operation Dixie right. So many."

@ErikLoomis continues: "This struggle has truly been historic, a century-long struggle. This is probably the biggest victory for American unions in the South in the history of the labor movement."

@DanaHoule responds: "It really is that big of a deal. It links Southern workers with the collective action institutions of the North. That's never happened in a big way before."

Paraglider and black vulture chilling

I NEVER get tired of this video. It would be fantastic if the bird was just flying near him, but the fact it feels safe and comfortable enough to land ON his paraglider, isn't startled when he pets it, and is NIBBLING HIS SHOES... blessed moment, absolutely fabulous, 10/10 gold stars.

Okay but the bird isn't just nibbling

Note that it doesn't start nibbling until he starts smoothing its feathers.

They're grooming each other.

This is called parahawking! That vulture is tame -- it’s wearing jesses (a leather tie around the leg that a falconer will use to hold a bird when it’s on the glove). In fact that vulture is employed. Parahawking birds seek out thermals the same way they would naturally, allowing paragliders to follow them in the process.

Vultures are often used for parahawking both because of their attraction to thermals, and because vultures, as scavengers, are comparatively gentler and more sociable than birds of prey!
