Cool cool. You go first, lead by example and others will follow.

Everyday I learn about more mass scale atrocities happening all over the world and it's beyond insane to comprehend that our species lives like this and does this to itself.

We are beyond redemption when every single generation has uncountable made made horrors it repeatedly inflicts upon itself like this. We can't protest away or reform the human nature to inflict suffering and mass murder, if this was something we were capable of as a species, we would have done it by now.

Complete climate collpase cannot come soon enough, we need to die off.

The people who colonised the Americas and brought apple pie with them, weren't American either. It's a good comparison.

Weird title. It's a beautiful project and photo but that yarn looks (and very likely is) acrylic, and while warm elephants and community fibre arts are good things, all I can think about when I see stuff like this is microplastics.

For me the worst is pillowcases, as I use several on each pillow and I remove one every few days so my face is always on a clean fabric.

Climbing into bed only to be greeted with the smell of mildew when your head hits the pillow, is incredibly depressing.

I know the solution is to only use one pillow case at a time, but after over a decade with this stacked method, I really like the routine of knowing to do a load of laundry when my pillows all feel too flimsy to sleep on comfortably, and it saves on storage space if all my pillowcases are either on the pillows or in the laundry bag at any given point.

Yeah but the Borg would be breaking into houses to force convert folk.

Then again those xtian door knocking religions are often very fond of 'mission trips' to forcibly convert folk for the cost of the 'humanitarian aid' they provide, which isn't unlike the Borg at all.

Don't be a bigot. Tall girls are awesome.

*(Also in case you weren't being a bigot and were instead referring to what it's really like to work in tech: I do know industry isn't entierly cat girls in coding socks but most of the computers for career people I've known have been, so I choose to believe.)

It involves a lot of tall girls in thigh high socks, sometimes they wear cat ears too. And they do a lot of typing on extra clackity keyboards.

They've been doing that for decades. This is nothing new, it's just in the public eye now.

Wow, they really are odd birds! Theory: Pel's are such an apex predator that they don't need to be quiet or camouflaged anymore, and moved those points over to looking kinda flash (for an owl) instead?

Also that owl in the third picture looks like a thumb with a suspicious face drawn on it, haha.

Thank you for all the owls, and for looking stuff up to answer all the questions. I really appreciate people with interesting obsessions who want to share what they love with others.

Any idea why it's so light coloured for a nocturnal owl? That's an interesting adaptation.
(Guessing it's nocturnal by the black eyes)

Edit: just remembered Barn Owls are nocturnal too and yet are light coloured. I've never actually thought this through before. Evolution is fascinating.
