why do Tinamou eggs look like that. i want to eat them whole 

im going to swallow these like a snake

I was seized with a primal need to know what this bird looks like and I’m not sure what I was expecting but:

I am EXTREMELY pleased with everything about this animal.

I looked up why the eggs are like that.

This family is OUT THERE. There will be two single-sex flocks that are bonded- any female can fuck any male from the bonded flock, and vice versa, but NOT outsiders.

But the males and females don’t flock together- it’s two single-sex flocks that exclusively fuck each other.

So how exactly does brooding work?

A female lays her eggs in leaf litter, and her job is done. She peaces out, and *assumes* a male will happen to find them and adopt them like Bruce Wayne finding a plucky orphan. The odds it’s actually the father are astronomical, btw.

But at the same time, nesting is somewhat communal. If a pregnant female finds an existing nest, she’s likely to add her own eggs to it and peace out herself.

Imagine if Bruce Wayne left to do Batmanning, and came home to find another orphan just *appeared* and is playing smash with the Robins. And he didn’t question it because that’s his life. THAT IS THESE BIRDS.

Now you may be wondering, how does that explain why these eggs are gaudy as hell?

The current theory is it’s so they’re a visual beacon for other females to find. The bigger the egg pile, the harder it will be for a predator to eat *all* of them. So everybody loses a few of their eggs, but nobody loses all of them.

Plus bright eggs are more likely to be found by a Bruce Wayne birb!

A baby the size of a truck 🥺

I love elephants so much.

When I was in Nepal, I went to an elephant sanctuary and saw this little guy. The little bundles of grass in his front of him were “sandwiches”, brown sugar and salt wrapped in sweet grass, and he was swaying from side to side while he ate, like a little food dance.

Wages in the US have become wildly, fantastically unshackled from the costs of doing business, and they’ve been that way for decades. We’ve been told our entire lives that the world is such a way, and that it’s the Natural Normal result of things working the way they Have to work.

It’s a lie. It’s been a lie the entire time. They just Started Lying one day and didn’t stop until everyone who knew better died, gave up, or got their voice drowned out in all the noise.

You can’t tell me a combo at any fast food restaurant hasn’t doubled in price since the 90’s. Guess how much minimum wage has increased....

1) if food prices go up if wages go up, complain about CEOs not taking the cut, not the workers who need the money to pay their rent

2) smash this idiot idea that it’s only high school kids working minimum wage jobs: who do you think is making you your Starbucks at 12 pm? The highschool kids are all in highschool, idiot. At my retail store where people make minimum wage, we have no staff under 25 years old right now, about half the staff have families, they are all making minimum wage.

3) these people are providing you goods and services that are important and you want. You want a burrito. You want a coffee. Why on earth should the people providing us essential services not make enough money to pay their rent and their bills? Explain to me why this group of people deserves to live in poverty?

4) these jobs are not “unskilled” as in they’re easy to do and any asshole could do them. They are working harder than any prick sitting in an office chair all day.

5) Canada has raised its minimum wage. My province has had a minimum wage of $15 per hour for four years. Burritos do not cost $30 here, no one has gone out of business because they can’t afford to pay their workers anymore. What HAS happened is that I can now afford to live with my kids in my own apparent and not have to share it with my sister and her kids, I can afford to actually buy things, I can afford to cook healthy food and replace my shoes when they fall apart. The extra money I am making goes straight back into the local economy. My health and the health of my kids will be better and we will cost our government less. Don’t be a fucking idiot.

Fuck every single asshole who ever shits on minimum wage workers, ESPECIALLY these days after the pandemic when we all screamed about wanting to go out and get a coffee during lockdown. Fuck every single one of you with a rusty rake.

da2 companions on a zoom call

anders: always unmutes to apologize because his cats keep getting on the camera but then it turns into a 20 minute tangent ending in everyone showing their pets.

aveline: hosts the call but doesn’t admit you from the waiting room even though you’re on the list.

fenris: never puts on video by choice but when he does it’s blurry as hell because he has poor connection. construction noises in the background if he ever has to unmute.

isabela: turns on the camera even when she’s not participating because she looks good and she wants to stare at herself during the call. leaves her mic on.

merrill: eats during class. u always see her family walking around in the back and sometimes they stick their faces in the camera.

varric: steers the direction of the chat. makes a group message but it’s so he can copy other people’s homework. leaves early.

sebastian: good zoom manners, always mutes his mic, types “good morning!” into the chat and asks the professor how they’re doing. it’s fucking 6 am .

carver: the only one who responds to the professor without using chat. takes calls on his phone or ipad, almost always in bed.

bethany: takes this class seriously. says “^^^” when someone makes a point in the chat. “Um, hi professor, is my mic working?”

hawke: unmutes to ask a question and doesn’t mute again for 10 minutes. only realizes because their dog starts barking and the professor says “whose dog is that?”

I did another full playthrough of Dragon Age (well I still have Trespasser left but I know how it’s gonna go down for my inquisitor). I call this the Footshooter worldstate because while for the Canon worldstate I’d picked characters who I thought would make a good protagonist, these three are mostly just stumbling into things, trying their best, and often shooting themselves in the feet.

More of each character’s key decisions and notable notes under the cut.

Ok I just want to say activated charcoal is really good for you. Especially if you have an upset stomach. Take it, and it'll absorb all the toxins in your stomach and make you feel better.

Natural remedies are good. They do work. And we shouldn't make fun of them.

You know how they give activated charcoal to dogs and cats if they get into your meds or drink coolant or anything else toxic? That’s because it binds with meds and carries them out of your system without them interacting with your body.

If you’re on meds and drink this bullshit you’re not on your meds today, champ. You may as well have flushed them down the toilet. So kiss goodbye to your blood pressure meds/antidepressants/anything else you’re on and if you’re on the pill I hope you’re ready to be a mom.

Among its other charming traits, activated charcoal can prevent your body from digesting food and absorbing nutrients and oh yeah side effects can include “diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and blockage of the digestive tract.” (Source)

But ya know, “really good for you.” 🙄

This is gonna be a very unpopular opinion but I don't care

Activated charcoal is a medication, not a food additive, and should not be taken if you're not sick. It absorbs toxins, as well as other chemicals in your stomach. And by toxins I mean actual toxic stuff when you accidentally poison yourself. Not the mysterious "toxins" you get rid of when you "detox". "Detox" is bullshit. You detox by having a working liver. If you're alive and not currently dying of liver failure, odds are you liver is working and therefore you don't need to detox and eat activated charcoal when you're not having food poisoning.

You wouldn't just make yourself an ibuprofen latte, so stop putting activated charcoal in everything.

Just in case someone missed it

Also incredibly important

Also, on the off chance the activated charcoal doesn’t immediately suck everything out of your body, grapefruit is literally the (second) worst possible thing you can eat or drink when you’re on medication, as it interacts with a LOT of them, and you should always double check- https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/grapefruit-juice-and-some-drugs-dont-mix
