A lot of people are confused by the concept of “cat years" so here's a little guide:
0-1 years - just a little baby
1-3 years - just a little baby
4-9 years - just a little baby
10+ years - just a little baby
I cannot relate to anybody who doesn’t feel like an insane person doing a facade of normalcy these days. I walk around looking at strangers and wonder “are you doing a facade as well? Are you going insane the same way I am?” I cannot disguise my disconnect with the “sane” world.
"Very idea that humans might become so voracious as to empty the seas of fish seemed absurd only a few short years ago. Today scientific evidence points to a brutal reality from which there is no escape. In barely a generation, humans have exhausted most prolific creatures on the planet"
The haunting 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year image captures a sloth clinging to a barbed wire fence — the closest thing it could find to a tree.
Titled "No Place Like Home," the photograph by French photographer Emmanuel Tardy shows a brown-throated three-toed sloth clinging to a barbed wire fence post in Costa Rica’s Alajuela Province. After slowly crossing a road, the sloth reached for the post—likely mistaking it for a tree in the fragmented landscape.
Tardy captured the moment after waiting for traffic and onlookers to disperse, preserving a raw and quiet glimpse into the daily struggle of displaced wildlife.
The image underscores a pressing environmental issue: the rapid fragmentation of natural habitats, forcing sloths and other arboreal species to risk dangerous ground-level journeys.
Costa Rica, once known for its lush connectivity, is now working alongside NGOs to build wildlife corridors that reconnect critical forested areas. With over 60,000 entries submitted this year, Tardy’s photo stands out not just for its emotional weight but also as a visual call to preserve the fragile ecosystems so many species call home.
“Whether they are pests, parasites or invasive entities, the bottom line is that humans are unwanted, undesirable, and worthless to this planet”

The last passenger pigeon died 111 years ago today and not a day goes by that I don't think about how their flocks numbered in the *billions*, that their roosts covered 100+ square miles, that they collapsed trees with their nests. America is incomplete without them
