In much better and happier news Bison after decades of hard work and conservation efforts from indigenous organizations have finally been released back on our lands after 150 years.

I saw this video live and cried my eyes out. This is so important. Despite it all we survived. We're still here and the possibility to heal the land and ourselves is always there even if it will take time.

Edit: I'm very happy that people love this post but my other less happy educational posts are also just as important

Cleaning out my drafts and found this post I saved over a year ago. So to make up for the lateness here are some more articles about the increasing number of First Nations who have been able to reintroduce bison to theeir lands. All of these articles are about different reintroductions.

"Across the U.S., from New York to Oklahoma to Alaska, 82 tribes now have more than 20,000 bison in 65 herds. Numbers have been growing in recent years along with the desire among Native Americans to reclaim stewardship of the animals."

sometimes i forget wizardposting isn’t a regular occurrence on any other website. what do you mean your posts don’t randomly get taken over my evil wizards casting spells on your peunis

prepare thyself

so I found out I had skull deformities in the funniest way possible

They’ll never do a Hitman level set in a Furry Convention because gamers would absolutely ruin it but imagine. like the target isn’t a furry he just owns a hotel that happens to have one every year but you can disguise yourself in a fursuit and some guy will ask you “what species is your sona” and 47 would be like “a wolf. i always felt a connection with…hunters.” and then diana would be like “let’s see if you can sniff out some information, furrty-seven” and then he comes to my house and kills me for writing this

this emerged in my head when I was trying to drive

May I propose the fill ins?

#i am undiagnosing myself with 'adhd' and rediagnosing myself with 'cursed by wizard'

People... watch out for these things!

The saying applies with more than usual force here: if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer: you're the product being sold. (And maybe you're the product being sold even if you are paying for it.)

DO NOT MAKE YOUR PERSONAL PHYSICAL DATA AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO COULD THEN SELL IT TO THOSE INVESTED IN USING IT TO SURVEIL YOU AND POTENTIALLY CHARGE YOU WITH CRIMES.

no tumblr i'm not gonna spam those so the left counter overflows and turns into "TUM" or something equally corny

Received an incredible email from someone at the Museum of Natural History regarding Nellie, one of the first hairless cats ever photographed

“I did some digging into the museum records and found that we are still caring for Nellie's remains after all these years.

Unfortunately, as is sadly too common with old museums, most of her history had been lost over the past hundred+ years and was no longer a part of her records. However, because of your video I was able to pull together documentation from your sources and sent them along to the person in charge of the mammal collections and we have added her history back into the records. It is possible that without your video Nellie's history may have been lost forever, and that her body may have remained labeled with a simple number and not by her name. Now she has both.”

This is her public record (cw: 116 year old cat body): https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?ark=ark:/65665/30bc945ca8ce94a97a4d453ea2b051b96

This is so cool!!!! We found her after like 100+ years!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH

the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern

Studies have shown that the shift starts to happen around age 30. If you’re close to that, make a conscious effort to be open to and accepting of younger people. I’m 31 and paying close attention to how I react to young people and new trends and shit and trying to keep myself from developing those thought patterns.

noted

It is imperative you befriend people other than those of your own generation. It’s harder to lump people together if you know some of them. This is why you should also pursue friendships beyond your race, ability, religion (or lack thereof), and class. Humanity relies on relating to each other.

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

come on man

i love how bad he is at using that pen i’m so obsessed
