I love how the pattern really is always the same. People foolishly think "business owner = authority on all matters" but no, they're idiots just like the rest of us. www.youtube.com/shorts/yIxZkdkBE6Y

I honestly would have figured the American Chestnut to have some kind of protected status. It's up to you to make a fuss to save these trees, which are in danger of being cut down to make room for a data center. If anyone can find confirmation for me beyond this post, that would be great. I […]

I have been playing Vintage Story with my friends but have only been able to play for 10 minutes at a time, which is not long enough to get anything done or coordinate with anyone. I have taken to switching to creative mode, teleporting far away, and building little […] [Original post on zirk.us]

A screenshot from the block-based videogame, Vintage Story (like minecraft 2, essentially). The scene is of a small cobblestone hut on the edge of a lake, with two fishing polls leaned up against the front wall. The hut is an orange color, with a purple door and a dark grey shingle roof. It is night time and the hut is illuminated by torches flanking the front door.

You know what would really solve most of my problems? If I were fabulously wealthy. Why can't I be fabulously wealthy without even trying?

A screenshot of a thumbnail and caption for a link to an article which suggests that Hitler may have been involved in the death of his niece. In the thumbnail Hitler is relaxing in a chair next to a young woman seated on the ground, presumably his niece. The caption reads:

They know that is it kind of a fundamentally wasteful and exploitative industry, but it's also not realistic to just ask people to stop doing it. So really the question is not "should you do it?" it's "how do you push the industry standard towards something that is more sustainable and less […]

A friend went fishing and shared their haul. I was compelled to make this. #Fishing #Fish #Feelings #Meme #HowAreYouFeelingToday

Six close up pictures of fish faces are arranged in two columns, with the text "how are you feeling today?" at the top and bottom. The fish generally look like they are on various states of unhappiness about being caught, though one looks zoned out and another looks excited.

The kestrel that I rescued earlier today had a sibling. They are now being looked after and fed by a local community of helpers. I’ll keep you posted.

Two young kestrels sit side by side on a forked branch. One is facing the viewer and the other is facing away.
