A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food. 

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!

hey.

you have staying power in people’s lives. I’ll say it again: you have staying power in people’s lives.

you exist. you have a presence in your best friend’s life. you have impacted their life. you exist to them regardless of whether or not you’re in contact with them at this very second. in the course of their day, they will see things that can (and have) reminded them of you. they think about you. they miss you when you’re not there.

you’re not a nebulous creature that has no sway in another person’s life. no, my treasure, you are a person who is full of personality, light, love and interests shared in common with the people you most care about.

I know what you feel, but I promise you.

You matter, objectively, to the people who love you. They’re not going to forget about you. You are not disposable.

“what do you mean you have low empathy? you’re such a nice person!” EMPATHY DOES NOT EQUAL COMPASSION. EMPATHY DOES NOT EQUAL KINDNESS. COMPASSION IS A CHOICE. KINDNESS IS A CHOICE. EMPATHY IS NOT A CHOICE, AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE EMPATHY DOES NOT MEAN THEY CANNOT CHOOSE TO BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE. “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.” “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.” “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.”

#been thinking a lot about this lately bc reasons#and its very reassuring to hear#like i feel in certain situations i can be pretty empathetic but worry sometimes im not#but i still care a lot about people and it hurts me to see them upset

Anyone else have this like weird anxiety about people questioning your actions? So much so that even when you’re just doing completely innocuous and normal things that nobody would ever ask you about or even take note of, you imagine having to explain and justify why you’re doing it to someone else?
