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.

the holidays are coming up and a lot of americans are used to the family get-togethers that come with this time of year, but like. i’m begging y’all. skip it this year. you don’t need to be sharing food and air around a table with a dozen or more family members, putting yourself and them at risk. don’t bring your kids to family gatherings and put them at risk, too. just don’t go. i know, it’s absolutely more difficult this year after so many months of no contact, but we’ve had three consecutive days in the US of the highest number of new COVID cases reported, and people are still being hospitalized and dying, and if you care, really care, about your families and friends, you gotta see the big picture and understand that one year apart is better than a lifetime with one of them gone forever.

video chat them. bake and cook together virtually. send messages. make phone calls. do whatever you need to do to stay close emotionally and mentally, but physically, stay home.

girls after saying something smart: So yeah

Girls after giving a concise and completely sensible thought on the matter, with well thought out arguments:

... If that makes sense?

Girls after expressing a personal opinion: if you think that's okay haha maybe

Sorry to say, but they do the exact same thing for humans too.

It’s amazing how people in the notes and comments are absolutely FURIOUS at me for the included Frozen comparison. Special shout out to everyone trying to prove that real people look like this.

Not to mention that when people edit these characters to have better facial proportions, the originals look like bizarre fish people.

How humans draw themselves is always fascinating to me

op why are you speaking like you aren’t human i’m scared

Eh…perhaps read my blog description.

I think I know the reason for why people prefer “unrealistic” animation.

For some reason, humans really don’t like things that look like humans but aren’t quite human. Hence why a lot of people are uncomfortable with movies with animation like Monster House and The Polar Express. It looks too realistic to us and sets us off.

Scientists call this the “Uncanny Valley” effect and its thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival.

The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the uncanny valley effect. Only humans. Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival?

Oh hell yeah this is what I’m here for

We are the remnants of ancient explorers, adapted to our new environment.

And we remember just how fearsome we used to be.

If you say “I’m not voting ❤️” your excuse better be not living in America, under 18 or you legally cannot vote for whatever reason. Now is not a time to be apolitical.

NPR just ran a story about how undecided voters are less than 1% of the voting population so the current tactic is to disenfranchise voters into not voting. They're flooding social media with trolls and bots talking about how they're not voting because their preferred candidate didn't win the primaries, about how nothings going to change and there's no point in voting. And the thing is, we know how social media works. People get stuck in these echo chambers and have those ideas reinforced over and over again by hundreds of different (fake) voices. It's not directly voter suppression, but it smells very heavily of it.

So like. Don't fall into their lies. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.
