so incredibly frustrating that people cant wrap their heads around the importance of preserving deserts/plains/shrublands and not just the "pretty stuff" like forests. These are incredibly sensitive ecosystems
The dryer lint advice you see all over Pinterest is actively bad for birds.
It sounds nice, save the lint, leave it in the yard, watch the birds use it for nests.
But Audubon, US Fish & Wildlife, the Cornell Lab, and most wildlife rehabbers all advise against it now, and the reasons add up fast.
Lint loses its structure when it gets wet. A nest lined with dryer lint holds up fine in dry weather, but the first heavy rain collapses the whole nest.
Eggs and chicks fall through the nest and likely don't survive.
Lint also carries with it the chemical signature of your laundry. Detergent residue, fabric softener, dryer sheet compounds, fragrance oils, and dye all end up concentrated in the fibers you're pulling out of the trap.
Even "free and clear" detergents leave trace chemicals that are fine on adult human skin but rough on a 4-gram baby bird.
Lint is mostly microplastic. Most modern clothing is polyester, nylon, acrylic, or some blend. The lint trap collects shredded synthetic fibers. Lining a nest with that is lining a nest with plastic.
Sadly, this folksy bird advice from a decade ago hasn't aged well. The new advice is closer to: provide nothing artificial, and let the natural materials in your yard do the work.
“why would you want to oppress or disable your miis?” has got to be one of the worst twitter takes ive seen in a while. god forbid people who wear hijabs or use wheelchairs want to have those on their miis too. complete empathy failure!
‘HEY’ by Toonrific Tariq has officially launched on Kickstarter (link below ⬇️).
The pilot centers on a young Black couple navigating life in their mid-20s after moving in together, with their friendships playing a key role in bringing them closer.
Stop only mentioning black projects when it’s time to spite a more popular or primarily white project. Our stories deserve to succeed and thrive outside of petty internet drama.
Amazon MGM Studios which is valued at almost $10 billion is releasing a movie about He-Man this year which will easily make millions of dollars. Meanwhile, the literal creator of the character, who without him that movie wouldn’t even exist, has to rely on a GoFundMe for his medical care. Fucking insane.
Congratulations to Common Side Effects on winning a Peabody Award in the category of Entertainment!
It’s the first Peabody Award win for an Adult Swim show since The Boondocks in 2006.

Tired of people being perpetually shocked that we’re people, and that they can only understand that we’re people if we’re presented within a certain aesthetic.
While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.
Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.
Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
