So I work at a video game store in a mall and across the hall from us is this really nice suit shop. One day one of the guys came in an asked if they could use our microwave (the store they used to go to closed down) and we bargined for use of their bathroom in return since the mall bathrooms are like a 5 min trek.

So for like three months now we just have these men in really nice suits come in and talk while using our microwave and teach them about nerdy shit? Then I, the goblin king in various shitty tee shirts and paint stained pants, walk into their super expensive store and just get greeted with “Yo dude what’s good?” and talk about the pains of steaming silken dress shirts properly and it’s my favorite business interaction every day

A new jewelry store opened up right next to our store and when I used the bathroom today we were talking about it. I hate it on principle (they flooded our systems closet during building) and immediately both Suit Guys™ working went on mini rants. “Their suits are baggy as hell, I wouldn’t trust them to sell me a $9,000 ring when they can’t get a fitted jacket. They look so unprofessional, ” and “I saw one of the dude’s wearing a teal shirt. It’s fall, and you go with teal? At least get a color to match your store if you’re gonna ignore the seasons like that, Christ, but teal is awful.”

I live for this commentary fam.

For the record, if you’re out walking and you see a depression in the ground where the grass is brighter green and there’s lots of clovers, azaleas and other nitrogen-fixing plants,

KEEP WALKING.

It could be a body dump.

…I really expected this to be about the dangers of walking into a faerie ring and being offered food by faw folk and foolishly accepting, leaving you trapped in faerieland forever for having cosumed the offerings of a host, a warning that I was given as a child (and nobody I go to school with was, those kids are gonna end up in some troublel.

But this is interesting too.

I mean, given what faeries get up to, there’s a strong likelihood of it being both.

There’s some videos on youtube about people who capture wild hawks and train them for falconry. 

I’m not sure how I feel about that. If they were raised to be falconry birds then that’s different but capturing a wild hawk for it does not sit well with me. 

@ordinaryredtail

Hello! I’m a bit out of it this morning so I’m gonna make it a bit brief, but if you want more detail, feel free to ask or message me privately, I love to talk about this stuff.

My post will be very US centric, as i’m located there.

Anyway, in the united states, to trap a raptor for falconry, you have to be permitted. This means you have to have a mentor, an enclosure that has been inspected by the local fish and wildlife service, and have passed a written exam about bird of prey husbandry and training. It is not just anyone trapping a bird willy nilly.

The bird you trap has to be a juvenile, which means it has already left the nest but is still within its first year. The mortality rate for these birds is high, between 80-90%. What people don’t understand is the wild is hard. It’s grueling, its brutal. Very few of these birds survive, and as humans press more into habitats, that mortality rate goes up. In some ways, we owe it to these birds to do something.

The bird is then trained. The bird hunts. The bird is free to go whenever it wishes. With a falconer, the bird is given a steady source of food, water, medical care. My first bird actually had malaria, something my vet predicts he got while still in the nest. He would have died in the wild if not for me.

Most falconers do not keep these birds past two years. It is unfair to the bird to do so. When released, these birds are smarter, better hunters, and will go on to raise better young. With a falconer, they are given the chance to fail without the consequences of failing. From there, they can learn where most of the other juvenile birds do not have that luxury.

Falconry, done properly, has shown to have no ill effects on wild populations. These birds aren’t trapped to be pets. They’re trapped to be hunters, and will eventually go back into the wild to raise better hunters.

Very well stated!

Me, eating Apple slices with my rats in the dark: were a lot alike you and i. We eat we sleep we live trapped in our comfort zones never doing anything more than the usual. Your cage is physical you have an excuse but me? What stops me from getting up and leaving all that I know? Nothing but social obligation. But you seem satisfied in your space, to climb your walls and rest and shit and eat. Perhaps there is wisdom in that.

My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.

I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”

He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral

And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it

I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning

there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.

who is this man and what music did he make???

if you hear a royalty free song on youtube, there’s approximately an 80% chance Kevin Macleod wrote it.

here’s some you’ve almost definitely heard:

for those wondering, yes, he also made THE generic royalty free song that was EVERYWHERE in 2014.

He has a Patreon!

And he doesn’t even make a 1000$ per month!

also, his site incompetech.com also has graph paper generators, if you’re in need of that. It has any kind of graph paper - INCLUDING hex paper, you tabletop gamers out there! (or knitting paper if you’re into that)
