Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update because my original post lost traction.

My name is Nicolas Liang, and I’m a Chinese trans man who’s set to attend a full time training program for aerial acrobatics. This is a lifelong dream of mine, but the reality is that I can’t safely pursue this line of work having to bind every day! The only time I’ll be able to have this surgery is early 2022, so I’ve only got half a year to raise the money I need, or I won’t be able to attend the program. I’m only at about 25% of my goal (10,000$). Please consider donating if you can, anything at all however small helps me immensely!

My Venmo and Cashapp are both NicoLiang, and my paypal is Iscairot!

Thank you all for taking the time to read 💌

Hey everyone! This post has a lot of notes but I’m still nowhere near my goal! Please keep sharing and donating, I’m really desperate.

IM SCREAMING there’s a truck in this parking lot that has “Pussy Wagon” and “send nudes” plastered on the front, and several bros are just hanging out, including a dude in a lawn chair sitting on the roof.

You guys think I would LIE on the INTERNET for NOTES?

Yall know that children aren’t property right? Yall know that children aren’t employees right? Children aren’t pets, props, toys, burdens, objects, or anything like that. They’re humans. Small humans you created. You’ve vowed to help them learn, grow, and take care of them. If you can’t love them, respect them, show them care, then you need to give them to someone who will.

I got hatemail for this post three years after the fact, so here it is again!

Very important.

I always have to reboot this.

For anyone wondering, this is amazing enrichment for the animal and a great way to involve guests! The lions aren’t forced to play with the rope if they don’t want to, and these guys (and anyone else who tries this out) have an awesome close up and hands on experience, all without having to come in direct contact with the cat!

@why-animals-do-the-thing

This definitely counts as #actually cute. This video is from the San Antonio Zoo, and the lioness’ name is Axelle. As @ordinaryredtail said above, the tug of war interaction is entirely voluntary on her part.

My guess is that the zoo staff did use some positive reinforcement training to teach her how to pick up and pull on the rope at first, because that’s not necessary something a lion would just do on their own. While it’s also probable that she’s rewarded with something tasty did choosing to engage with the members of the public like this, Axelle wouldn’t be engaging if it was a negative experience for her (there aren’t enough snacks in the world to coerce a lion into doing something they find actively distressing). If she didn’t want to participate, she could just walk away.

Some sanctuary and animal rights groups have taken issue with this interaction because they consider it unethical to ask a lion to engage in any “unnatural behavior” “for the benefit of the public,” calling it exploitation. It is worth keeping in mind, however, that learning and engaging in novel behaviors is hugely enriching for animals in human care, and that lions have no concept of exploitation. As long as the lion is not bothered by the presence or noise of the crowd, is not injured or harmed, and is engaging on an entirely voluntary basis, this sort of thing is entirely ethical. It is far safer than any type of interaction where a member of the public is coming into direct context with a big cat, but still allows people to directly experience the sheer strength of a lion up close.

best part of my job is tricking the seeds

we have a lot of cereals (rye, barely, wheat, etc) coming in right now that are the kind that get planted in the fall and germinate in the spring and to get them to sprout we just put them in a refrigerator for five days and then put them in an incubator that turns a light on for 8 hours a day for another week and they’re like ahhh at last spring has come…. twas a long and brutal winter…… at last the sun returns to the fields of yore

Hey this isn’t a frog meme but I wanted to let you guys all know that you are loved, valued and completely valid. Even if you’re going through a rough spot in life, it will pass and you’ll thank yourself for being so strong later on in life. I love you all, stay safe and take care of yourself 💚

:-O

It’s not actually known if lemons were made by humans or if they were just natural hybrids of citrons and sour oranges. Apparently it’s super common for citrons to fertilize basically anything they’re near.

great now we gotta kinkshame the fruit

Everything about this post is going in so many directions at once

This is do important

“all vegan leather is plastic” well i just found a tiktok

the brand is called desserto!! if you’re interested in some ethical vegan leather products i’d definitely recommend them from what i’ve seen. Their instagram is here and their facebook page is here Here’s a little more about it:

Thanks to its strong molecular bonding in which cactus plays an important role, Desserto® offers high resistance to abrasion, rubbing, tearing, tensile and a great durability, this organic, sustainable material is a great alternative to animal leather and other synthetic materials that are not environmentally friendly.

also it may be better than animal leather durability/performance wise, as well as being vegan and environmentally friendly;

Although animal leather is very resistant it is permeable and can even rot or crack if not dried quickly after it gets wet. Desserto® has competitive features handling humidity and liquids very well, it’s fully customizable and breathable.

Here is a link to their bags/purses and here is a few more purses

i haven’t personally tried out there brand but if any of you have please let us know how it is!
