this is textbook habituation, DO NOT FEED WILD ANIMALS, DO NOT INVITE THEM INTO YOUR HOME. and don't let your cats outside because it WILL become food, ESPECIALLY after you do this

[coyote.tel 🐺🌵🏳️‍⚧️ ☉∇ dd4e 🔞 @foxbrained]

are you SERIOUSLY dense enough to believe that foxes are watching domestic dogs and cats and mimicking their behavior ???

[Blue Ridge Wildlife Center @BRWildlifeCtr]

Domestic cats are NOT native to any ecosystem, so they’re NOT part of "nature". These are not normal predator-prey interactions that happen in a healthy ecosystem & cats should not be allowed to roam freely to prey on wildlife (or encounter dangers free roaming puts on cats).

CW: death, animal suffering
We want to talk about the consequences of outdoor cats. In the next post will be a video of a bird that was caught by a cat that has no blood or obvious injury, but is very obviously struggling. It may be hard to see, but some of you need to see it 🧵

Our presentation on dismantling zionist pinkwashing turned into a shareable introductory thread with references: 🧵

@catdetailslater the native bees and wasps of north america >>>>>>>>>> honeybees every time. viva la osmia lignaria and isodontia mexicana

The loss of specimens, even less popular ones like centipedes, is a setback for science. Holotypes, which define entire species, are especially valuable and hard to replace. https://t.co/X6mQnEsMR0

i never thought anti transgender legislation would pass, says the company pumping out 200 articles a month about how cool and awesome it would be if trans kids committed suicide. how could this have happened, they cry! who could’ve galvanized this movement? it’s all a mystery!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A campaign against transgender rights has mobilized the Republican Party. How did that happen? Listen to today's episode of The Daily.

The National Audubon Society is facing a backlash after announcing plans to keep its name linked to enslaver John James Audubon. The decision outraged employees, prompted an uncomfortable all-staff meeting and drove 3 board members to resign in protest.

Happy National Wildlife Rehabilitators Appreciation Day! #EverythingButTheBirdFriday

Our mission wouldn't be possible without these incredible people! Thank you to all who've given many animals a second chance at life in the wild. 💙

[Bird Alliance of Oregon @BirdAllianceOR]

Join us for an accessible birding outing at Whitaker Ponds on March 25! We’ll look for early songbirds, woodpeckers, ducks, and even some raptors as we traverse by foot or wheelchair throughout the natural area.

Beginner birders are welcome!

my sister and i went to the dentist and i was misgendered literally the entire time to the point of being extremely upset about it. she stood up for me and when she got home posted an infographic on her instagram about respecting people's pronouns.

[Fern Wexler: Putting The Bi In Bird @fernwex]

someone came to clean our rugs after a category five Dog Incident. my mom is pretty friendly with him and reminded him of my pronouns when he got here, and he said he remembered and that he'd been practicing in the car on the way over. i barely know him and he still did that.

[Jasmine('s boobs hurt) @Ranting_Trans]

Any trans people have nice little stories of gender affirmation or just being a good ally from cis people?

One of my faves is when we had a work retreat with my office, and the plan was to have a house for the boys and a house for the girls.

[Fern Wexler: Putting The Bi In Bird @fernwex]

my mom doesn't use facebook anymore so she got all of the photo posts turned into little albums because there's a lot of memories on there. basically all of those photos are from before i came out/when i was a baby. she went through with a labelmaker to fix my deadname.
