Don't hate wildlife for accepting the invitation we accidentally gave them.
A fox getting into chickens is not a fox being evil, it's a fox finding unprotected prey.
A coyote killing an outdoor cat is awful. Losing a pet that way is brutal. But the coyote didn't break some agreement with us. It did what coyotes do.
The part we control is whether our animals are put in that situation.
Chickens need real predator-proof housing. Not chicken wire. Not a cute little prefab coop with gaps everywhere. Real hardware cloth, buried or skirted edges, secure latches, covered runs, and a closed coop at night.
Likewise, cats need to be indoors, supervised, leash-trained, or in a catio.
It's not because foxes and coyotes matter more than chickens or cats, but because chickens and cats depend on us to make better decisions than they can.
Wildlife isn't cruel, it's just wildlife. Our job is to stop setting everyone up for a tragedy.
If your mother saw how you squandered the rewards of her sacrifices on empty hedonism, only for her grandchildren to end up living barely better than she did, she’d be ashamed and disgusted by you.
now take this information and flip it. constantly pointing out the things you are grateful for can train your brain to notice more things to be grateful for. constantly noticing abundance will train your brain to notice even more abundance. flip the script & stay in control.
After posting a photo of me, I ended up getting some pretty horrible comments about my appearance, and I’ve been too scared to post a photo on here since…
But I’ve decided I’m not gonna let nasty people dictate what I post - so here I am, unashamed of what I look like 😊
The assignment was to read an article and respond to it with cited sources. She didn't read the article, didn't cite any sources, cried victim when she deservingly failed the assignment she winged so she could go to a play, then got the teacher fired for rightfully failing her.
