Parks and Recreation 5x19 “Article Two” The Book of Boba Fett 1x1 “Stranger in a Strange Land”

I feel like Chas Addams, the creator of Addams family, would've been so proud.

The Lincoln County, MO Drug Task Force arrested a pirate.

When arrested he begged to walk the plank, he decorated a pontoon to sell drugs from. Which he required customers to say, “Ahoy matey, I come to purchase ye party favors.”

His nickname was Red Beard.

The complete series of redesigned Pride Angels, featuring Rainbow, Bisexual, Transgender, Lesbian, Pansexual, Intersex, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Asexual angels.

loooove that we’ve moved on from the cultural moment of teen vampires and have (rightfully) become collectively obsessed with middle aged vampires

Townscaper

Townscaper is not so much a game, as much as a surprisingly satisfying architectural diversion inviting “players” to build quaint island towns evocative of the wondrous worlds of a Studio Ghibli animation setting. 

 The “game” invites users to build charming hamlets, erect enormous cathedrals, direct roads and canal networks, or even construct sky cities on stilts. The beauty of this game beyond the obvious creative possibilities it offers is its entry point for anyone and everyone. Townscaper is described as having “No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That’s it.”

It’s on Steam for $5.99!

Women with curly hair straightening it, men with curly hair cutting it so short you can't see the curls. When will it end when will it end

amazon’s entire schtick is to run other businesses into the ground by undercutting prices then ruling over their peasant customers. 

FedEx just refuses to deliver to my house. It’s too rural. They just won’t do it. The USPS is gutted. If I need supplies or food or any emergency anything, am I going to risk the package being destroyed or never getting to my house, or grit my teeth and go with the chaotic evil monsters who will nonetheless give me the food or medicine I need? 

And guess what? Amazon is directly and indirectly responsible for both the state of FedEx and the state of the USPS. They were allowed to create a monopoly and they were PREPARED for the further gutting of the USPS we’ve seen in late 2020. In my rural area, with a pandemic on? I think people don’t understand what I mean when I say I have no choice sometimes, the same as I have no choice but to buy Comcast internet even tho it’s overpriced and unreliable. 

It. Is. A. Monopoly. By. Design. We’re being given no choice. The solution isn’t to attack the consumers; it’s to force the government to undermine the company and to actually support its citizens with things like the USPS. 

Ethical consumption is a luxury afforded to the rich.

When did hikers develop the collective impulse to stack rocks and make obnoxious, useless decorative cairns at every park and river they visit? I don’t remember seeing them as a kid except as trail markers, but now they’re EVERYWHERE. What part of “leave no trace” don’t people understand?

I’m gonna leave a trace and it’s gonna be a cool ass rock tower in the woods :D

Please don’t! 

If you want to build rock towers, get your own rocks and build them at home. That’s perfectly fine. But rocks provide vital habitat for wildlife, especially in stream bed; moving and stacking them leaves them without shelter, crushes them, exposes their eggs, and leads to soil erosion and bank destruction. Leave them where they are.

Furthermore, cairns are used as trail markers to indicate routes. Creating pointless cairns for funzies and Instagram can actually be dangerous to other hikers who rely on them for navigation, and immensely frustrating for rangers. We don’t say “leave no trace” to be mean–we’re trying to protect both the environment and our visitors. 

we’ve already proven how fucking stupid op is. this shit is so fucking annoying. aside from creek beds stacking rocks isnt hurting the fucking environment. which once again i remind you we arent separate from. please calm down and stop acting like people living their life and creating art is destroying an ecosystem.

Huytuf, if you love lost hikers and crushed salamanders so much, why don’t you carve it into a lovely old tree and let the world know? Or perhaps you’d rather chisel in the sentiment of “my artistic whims are more important than the safety of others and the health of an ecosystem”? After all, if we’re not separate from the environment, nothing we can do can hurt it or cause problems.

But what do I know? I’m just a stupid old park naturalist who is, according to you, going to hell for discussing folklore while not being militantly Christian about it.

would it be okay to make a small one, then put the rocks back where they came from after you’ve taken pictures ect.

@maqpiie​​ Please don’t move them at all.

This is a Hellbender salamander. Hellbenders are the third largest aquatic amphibian in the world, and the largest amphibian in the US. They are extremely endangered, in huge part because people are moving rocks in what little habitat they have left to them. These big boys can live for decades and once they choose a rock to live under, that’s it, that’s where they live, and they do not do well relocating. Studies have found that if their rock is moved or even disturbed, the hellbender will not return to it- even if you can replace the rock how you think you found it. Moving rocks, even just briefly, runs the risk of crushing them, their young, their eggs, or depleting the places where their food sources hide (they eat mostly crawfish and small fish that hide among rocks), either from you moving the rock or from other rocks falling in the absence of the rock you moved. Even if it doesn’t immediately kill them, it can permanently displace and ultimately cause the death of one.

These are not the only creatures that suffer from habitat being destroyed, they are just one I happen to know the face, name, and situation of. Please, please, please. It’s not worth the photo. It’s just not. Leave nature in place where it belongs, leave no trace. Protect those that have no defense against you other than your choice to be kind to them.

TAKING PICTURES IS A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM, as it spreads the idea that stacking rocks is a fine thing to do. pictures of cool-looking rock stacks are how rock stacking became such a fad in the first place. please, please, PLEASE, do not take pictures of rock stacks, share pictures of rock stacks, or in any way encourage other people to do it. 

It's worth a shot!
