Wait.. What?

@blue-pidg-eon

Stuff happens for a reason but sometimes it’s confusing and sucks

http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-LB-51793 This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words. Also the fact that the lawyer didn’t come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.

this is the kind of content i came here for

he didnt come to the party because he sees the baby as a future opponent

rest in peace you fucking toilet cover

Do you think Sully was caught, killed, shaved, had his fur turned into a toilet seat cover, and had his body experimented on, all because he was trying to visit Boo at the end of Monsters, Inc.?

It would explain why there was a prequel and not a sequel…

This post just ruined my life

Wolves React To Gamekeeper Who Had Been Away On Maternity Leave

“WHERE’S YOUR PUPPY! WE WANNA SEE YOUR PUPPY! DID YOU JUST HAVE THE ONE? DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH YOU? ARE THERE PHOTOS?”

I’m not a hundred percent positive but I’m pretty sure this is the wild life center where I visited wolves.

And the safety briefing included the question “So if you’re pregnant, do you want to know or not?”

Turns out there had been a bit of an awkward situation once where the keepers had casually mentioned a woman’s pregnancy in a group, and she herself didn’t even know yet. Turns out the wolves are excellent at telling if you’re pregnant and the keepers can tell based on their body language.  They get all odd and careful around pregnancy. (Even wolves knows that you have to take care of pregnant people.)

So they definitely knew she was pregnant.

And if I remember my BBC documentaries right, a wolf will leave the pack to give birth and introduce the cubs to the pack once she feels ready for it. And maternity leave is flexible but often around 6 months so they’re going “YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! WE WERE SO WORRIED! WHERE ARE THE CUBS?? WE HAVE TO GREET THE CUBS!!“ 

Also the two on her back are fighting over who gets to greet her first. Giving and receiving attention is a commodity that goes by hierarchy and if you don’t accept that there will be scuffles.. The wolf lying down next to her isn’t chill about her coming back, it’s just submissive to the other wolves and waiting for it’s turn to show excitement.

Now I can see why we domesticated these adorable jerks.

Wolf packs have maternity leave?

Wolves: better than American companies.

These shows taught me all about animals, science, math, geography, reading, grammar, kindness and friendship.  This will always be golden 

aww yissss

I can feel the nostalgia ooze into my bloodstream

for all of you guys getting anxious about the environment and pollution

y’all deserve to hear the good news too, and yes i fact checked these.

  • 7 miles of habitat for bees will be planted in london
  • the biggest coal plant in north america has been converted to solar panels
  • roads in edinburgh will close once a month to help pollution
  • maine has banned styrofoam
  • new york city and los angeles have both made “green new deals”
  • The london marathon replaced 200,000 single use water bottles with seaweed water pods
  • the bees in notre dame survived the fire, and the roof could possibly built in a more eco-friendly way.
  • the population of flightless kakapos (a cool bird) is rising
  • the carbon emissions in the uk are the lowest they’ve been since 1998
  • Another large bee habitat (.5 mil acres) has been created
  • there is a robot that delivers young coral to help repopulate the great barrier reef
  • portugal plans to stop using plastic on fruit, vegetables, and bread by 2020
  • 106 new species of bees have been discovered in australia since 2010
  • a group of Sikhs plan to plant 1,000,000 trees as a gift to the earth
  • disney has made a mickey-shaped solar farm
  • Morgan freeman turned a 124 acre ranch in mississippi to a bee habitat
  • China plans on making a “forest city” to help clean up their air
  • An increasing amount of countries and states are beginning to ban single use plastics.
  • A couple replanted a whole forest in brazil (2.7 mil trees) in 20 years, and the animals have come back to live there
  • The hole in the ozone layer is repairing itself more each year
  • China plans on spending 360 billion dollars to improve renewable energy and has scrapped plans for coal powered plants that were going to be built.
  • A national park has been built in the amazon (3.3 mil acres in peru) to preserve the rainforest
  • Ireland and the uk have declared a climate emergency
  • The guy who played aquaman (jason momoa) has spent 31,000 dollars to help clean up plastic
  • South korea is now recycling 95% of food waste
  • There is a cleanup campaign being planned for mt. everest
  • Puerto rico wants to use all renewable energy by 2050 and is setting official goals for that
  • Some schools have special water bottle fill-up stations that encourage you to use refill and reuse plastic bottles rather than throwing them out after one use, these are becoming more common.
  • 9 endangered species are thought to make a comeback this year
  • 20 countries in africa are planning to make a “green wall” of trees and plants that will span the width of africa to stop desertification
  • recently, a lot of volunteers and organizations are planting a ton of trees.
  • Awareness about the environment and climate change is growing super fast right now among people and countries, which will only help us
  • Most pollution is caused by like 100 companies, but a few of those (like pepsi) are trying to cut down on that.

if this stuff keeps happening things will get even better, and the only thing stopping us really are those big companies who don’t want to pay the money to switch to more eco-friendly energy sources. i know the media tends to cause fear and stress about this stuff for a lot of people, but there really is hope.

easy things we can do: 

  • Recycle 
  • Plant gardens in your yard for bees if you can
  • Participate in community volunteer things that plant trees and gardens
  • Theres this search engine called ecosia that plants a tree for every 45 searches you make, it has almost 2 mil users. 
  • Pick up trash if you see it when you’re at the beach or in nature
  • If you have a fair amount of money, consider donating some to trustworthy environmental organizations
  • Start using a reusable water bottle (like those ones at target) rather than relying on single use plastic ones.
  • Cut the plastic rings on plastic milk bottles. You know, the little spiky plastic ring near the cap. Birds get those things stuck around their neck and die, so cut them so that they can’t get stuck on a neck.
  • If you can afford it, get some of those reusable grocery bags and sue those. most grocery stores have them, and it saves a lot of waste.

The future will be great and green

Thank you.

This helped with the fact I’m always one sad fact and a news article away from sobbing over the Earth’s condition.
