I HATE THE ONION
how grateful i am to not be a teenager during the era of tiktok
if i ever write something set in the united states im just going to do zero research whatsoever and make stuff up to sound cool it’s equality
the lush impenetrable jungles of massachusetts
I wanna do something nice.. say something you appreciate about the person you reblogged this from!! even if it's smth as small as their profile photo :)
smartphone storage plateauing in favor of just storing everything in the cloud is such dogshit. i should be able to have like a fucking terabyte of data on my phone at this point. i hate the fucking cloud
this is gonna make me sound very Old Man Yells At Cloud but i just hate how many things in my life assume i will always have access to a quick, reliable internet connection and almost cease to function without it. Obviously certain things Have To Have An Internet Connection, but i want to be able to listen to music if my service is bad. i want to still watch movies if Netflix is down. i want to have a working map when i can’t get a cell signal. nearly every tech product these days bears the fingerprint of the extremely internet-rich places they are developed, high rent offices in Seattle, San Francisco, etc.. I think often the idea of the internet not being available is so remote to them it doesn’t even factor in to development. i remember when the Xbox One was debuted and Microsoft was almost mockingly like “if you don’t have reliable fast internet, then don’t bother buying this”, and there was such backlash they completely went back on so much of that. But now that attitude is just the tech norm.
A lot of public places in Finland that needs signs for customers/clients/patients have them in finnish, swedish and english. I'm not quite fluent in swedish but read it passably, and I like the difference in the tone of the different languages. Like the english and swedish ones will be like "please be mindful of the other customers, be aware of the people around you. Thank you for being understanding <3" and the finnish one is like "PACK YOUR SHIT AND MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY, THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU. YOU SLOW-ASS FUCK."
i am delighted to inform you of the existence of the Rosefinch, which is a real actual bird that exists!
lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.
Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all. Some equally balanced wild colorations include
Pygmy Falcon
Great Hornbill
Wallcreeper
and
Black-throated Loon
this is a good addition to this post. thank you for this birds educations
I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:
Cedar Waxwing
Red Crowned Crane
Brahminy Kite
Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.)
Bali Mynah
And, last but certainly not least, the cutest fucking puffball on this planet earth:
The Korean Crow-Tit
I’d also like to contribute some pretty awesome birds
Hooded Pitta (or as like to call them little olives)
Coua
Mot-Mot
The Blue Crown Pigeon (the biggest pigeon)
good post

I’m fond of the Golden Breasted Starling,
the Golden Pheasant,
and the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher.
May I present the most fabulous turkey in the world, the Ocellated Turkey?
Might I add
The Violet-backed starling
The Regent Bowerbird
fun game! mutuals what would you do with $250 000 that wasn’t paying a ticket to get in a giant tin can to see an underwater mass grave?
There are several ONG-funded ships currently operating in the central Mediterranean Sea with the specific intent of saving migrants from what has been for years one of the deadliest migration routes in the world. Here is partial list:
Geo Barents (Médecins Sans Frontières)
Ocean Viking (SOS Méditerranée)
Aurora, Sea Watch 3 and Sea Watch 5 (Sea Watch)
Life Support (Emergency)
Open Arms and other ships (Open Arms)
Another important resource for migrants in distress at sea is the hotline AlarmPhone.
Since 2016 these rescue missions have become more and more onerous to fund as EU countries have progressively strengthened the Frontex program while at the same time criminalizing ONG-led search and rescue operations. (Italy has been at the forefront of this trend, and a shipwreck on the coast of Calabria in late February this year only managed to strengthen the resolve of the current government to make it even more complex for ONGs to try and rescue migrants.) So while it definitely won't solve the root issue, donating to these NGOs still has a tangible effect.
