Friendly reminder that this is called degendering and is a form of misgendering and you should not do it e.v.e.r

Real q: If youre not sure about peoples’ pronouns beforehand, is it ok to use they/them? I know you should always ask if you’re not sure, but on the rare occasion you can’t ask because the person is not around?

I’ve had this happen a few times, so I’m not sure and I always use gender neutral terms to be as respectful as possible.

YES! Very okay to use they/them if you sincerely don’t know.

A tweet from last week, that made me smile big today. Hopefully not posted here already.

I’ll drink to that

Hey ship you seem like you might know the answer to this, if you don’t no worries. I got attacked by a red winged blackbird today on my regular route to work (I have to walk). Do you have any idea why the birds (that I otherwise have passed multiple times with no problem) would attack? And if not, any tips on how to get by them without attack later (since I still have to go to work and there’s no good alternate route)?

They must have a nest nearby that they are defending. If you can walk on the opposite side of the road or move out of the area quickly, they may be less likely to swoop you, but otherwise it’s just a matter of waiting for them to finish nesting.

I guarantee there’s a nest. Wear a hat/helmet and try not to get too close, or just run like heck.

Stygiomedusa Gigantea

For the first time ever, stygiomedusa gigantea, a gigantic jellyfish was caught on video by scientists in the Gulf of Mexico. There have only been 115 sightings of this deep sea jellyfish in the past 110 years.

Vultures are such cute birds!!! I feel like I’ve been lied to my whole life about vultures being these terrible birds, when really they’re cute feathery dinosaurs that hop around. We have turkey vultures in Georgia, and they always look like they’re wearing little plague doctor masks, because they have white/grey faces and all black bodies. I always slow down when I’m driving because they’re slow to get out of the way. Look it up on youtube, there’s a video of a vulture walking, its really funny

Vultures are underrated. They’re smarter than we give them credit for, and can be surprisingly playful and friendly when socialized with humans. They’re no corvids, but they’re good birds, Brent.

Like three years ago ago I was walking home from school and a group if like ten vultures decided to happily walk along behind me a short distance. It was amazing

did you happen to be dead at the time?

When stuff gets run over on the road near our house, I move it off the road so the vultures can get to it safely. It makes for good pictures if you open a window and sit quietly so they don’t get spooked.

Ah, cormorants.

Cormorants are those birds that look like mini Loch Ness Monsters, the ones you see swimming in the water with just their head, neck, and a tiny bit of their back out. They stand upright when on land.

Baby birds are freaky-lookin’ things already when they aren’t baby waterbirds. These guys are just piling it on.
