if you don’t know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you’ve never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards
Jack Rabbits are North American Hares and they’re the WORST to encounter at night becuase:
- You all know how big a rabbit is. Jack Rabbits and hares are much bigger. they’re the size of large cats or small dogs or just-walking-age children.
- They also like to hang out in gangs of a hlf dozen to over 30.
- and in the middle of backcountry dirt roads.
- perhaps they’re dustbathing
- or blood sacrifce
- I don’t know because when you come up the road at night because your dog has a tiny bladder and needs to go out at midnight and you have no yard so you’re walking him on the dirt road around your neighborhod because you might aw well get some stargazing in, and you come just over the ridge to see a coven of twenty jackrabbits in the middle of the road
- and
- they
- all
- stand
- up
- not just onto all fours like a proper prey animal
- No they get up on thier hind legs and don’t just sit but STAND like tiny rabbit-skinned toddlers, wobbing slightly as they stare directly at you eyes shining in your flashlight’s glow
- …Blood Red.
- And a chill goes through you on that warm july night because while they’re a puntable size and allegedly herbivores they’re standing and watching you just like people and you are vastly outnumbered.
- everyone freezes
- you’re considering your odds aganst roughly 200lbs of Suspiciously Humanoid Hare
- and they’re considering their odds against you
- the only sound in the never-ending high desert wind
- somewhere in your peripheral vision you can see the streetlights but they seem awfully far away
- The nearest Jack Rabbit
- Blinks
- and takes a single shuffling step
- forward
- You area an overdevloped monkey and your prefrontal cortex is capable of some amazing feats but it runs very slowly compared to the reflexes of a rabbit and you’re frozen as you desperately scramble for the appropriate course of action, hands feeling thick and useless, mouth dry and feet imeasurably heavy there’s no way you’d outrun THESE, god there’s a rabies outbreak going around that shit’s not curable-
- The Dog
- L U N G E S
- It’s only the briefest of movements but the animal you’d picked out for his gangly legs and floppy ears and goofy smile is suddenly a dark shape of muscle and teeth and had flung himself at the horrible goblin rabbits faster than mere physics should dictate, appearing in the circle of the flashlight for only the briefest of moments before the jolt from the leash makes you stumble and the light falters
- The Jack Rabbits
- Scatter
- Vanishing into the faintly starlit sagebrush in as so many faint gray shapes that might be mistaken for the dustclouds they kick up
- Later, you sit on the couch disquieted
- and you wonder
- If the sight of the Jack Rabbits standing and studying you was frightening enough to make you yearn for the safety of the yellowed streetlights
- what must it be like from thier end?
- what terrifying creature
- deliberately ties itself
- to something so horrible
- As a Dog?

To all my midwestern follows
On Wednesday, January 30th, will be one of the coldest days ever to strike the midwest in recent history. It will be colder than Siberia. It will be colder than Antarctica. It will be colder than the summit of Mt. Everest. It will be -23 Degrees with a windchill of -55. I urge all of you to keep your birds indoors as well as any other pets because they will all die in minutes.
If you dont have the space indoors to place your birds in, I urge you to get a heater and pack snow around the coops. if you dont, YOUR BIRDS WILL ALL DIE. depending on the size of your coop it will take from 30 minutes. Ive already spent 4 hours shoveling snow onto mine and all my birds are warm. I wish you all the best.
Fleshgaits are shapeshifting creature found in forests all over North America. Fleshgaits are shapeshifters similar to that of the Skinwalkers of Navajo folklore however unlike the Skinwalkers, Fleshgaits where never human. Fleshgaits are known to mimic voices mostly that of their victims last words as well as change into different animals and people to lure their victims into the forest where they would then be killed.

Y’all if someone could just put me in a coffin that locks from the inside for a couple centuries with free wifi, a laptop, and some water, I’d be fine with that.
“look.. sometimes the people we like, don’t like us back. and it’s painful but there’s nothing we can do about it. i know what it’s like when someone doesn’t feel the same way about you. it’s.. someone you can’t stop thinking about. it hurts. but you can’t make people like you. love isn’t about grand gestures, or the moon and the stars. it’s just dumb luck. and sometimes, you meet someone who feels the same way. and then sometimes, you’re unlucky. but one day, you’re gonna meet someone who appreciates you for who you are. i mean, there’s seven billion people on the planet. i know one of them is gonna climb up on a moon for you.”

if you’re curious, adult condors are some of the largest birds on the planet with wingspans reaching over ten feet!
some birds eventually forgot that they were dinosaurs, but the Condor Did Not.

“who are they?” she whispered, eyes taking in the suited women who had entered the cabaret.
“they don’t have a name.” her friend muttered. “but you should know that they live life according to their own terms.”
the girl looked at the group again, noting how power rolled effortlessly off their shoulders.
“is that so bad?”
Key Midwestern Gothic tropes: endless fields stretching out to the horizon, location-based alienation, strange sounds and lights coming from the woods outside of town, harsh winters, tiny towns where everyone knows everyone else’s business, churches with blazing light in the dark and signs proclaiming the end of the world, bodies buried in backyards where they will never be found, and the neverending feeling that something is very wrong.
