When you’re a duck and have places to be, but safety is key

I literally saw a goose do a similar thing while I was on the highway going to work

Omg

They are learning

#respectful law abiding birds

for reasons we do not remember, in the UK we had pedestrian crossings that were called pelican crossings and then became puffin crossings later on

well we’ll be damned, it’s from PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled - and now they’re puffin crossings (from Pedestrian User-Friendly INtelligent) - and the difference is the old ones had the cross/don’t cross sign on the other side of the road, while the new ones have it on your side of the road

anyway we felt like this fit the water birb theme

edit: oh we missed one off (a birb but not a water birb) thé toucan crossing, for pedestrians and cyclists at the same time, because two-can cross

make right of way for duckings

todaysbird:

the cinnamon screech owl is a small owl found primarily in the andes of ecuador and peru. due to their hard-to-access habitat & nocturnal habits, they are rarely observed. they primarily inhabit humid montane forests. they feed on large arthropods and small mammals. they are named for their light rusty brown coloration, which can vary from bird to bird.

The main characters permanently trap a kid on an island, as a rat, on purpose.

One of the major alien races is constantly on the verge of starvation.

A major recurring character is partially named after Gandalf.

There is a virus that can wipe a species from existence at the atomic level.

Atlantis is real.

A reality-warping alien has the appearance of a dinosaur with a human face.

A sapient hawk is the child of a human and an alien via time travel.

a small, portable data stick is called a _

flashdrive

jumpdrive

thumbdrive

other (tell us in tags!)

early discussion notes:

1: y'all ‘USB stick’ truthers are gonna have to update your worldviews for the age of USB-C, you realize

2:

calling these second-grade-reading-level terms 'fancy words’ is a pretty hard self-own dude

The differences are that the jumpdrive/thumbdrive/USB dongle goblin specifically refer to USB flash drives.

honestly my favorite thing about hardison is that he has no real tragic backstory, he’s just like “i am very smart and therefore i should be allowed to do crime” and he’s entirely correct

i love everyone reblogging this going “yeah! soft boy!” in the tags bc that’s my other favorite thing about hardison (i have many) and that’s that he’s never particularly treated as morally grey bc he is constantly so kind and loving and good and also he enjoys some crime

parker: i have severe psychological trauma and i steal things to cope bc i don’t know how to relate to people

eliott: i have a tragic history being entangled in the mafia and even now i could kill the most dangerous fighters without firing a gun

hardison: if money is fake, why not for me and my grandma who i love? :)

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you’re in pain, but you don’t get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone’s life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn’t look like they need care.

This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.

I know a lot of EFR instructors (Emergency first response, the people who teach CPR classes) who used to be ambivalent about this and now are firmly in the “fuck you fuck your phone category.

Maybe its demographics, EFR instructors do tend to be older and less online, but there’s been a shift from voyeur filming being seen as irritating and tasteless to actively harmful.

I met one lady who had an entire section of her lecture based on how to divide labor in emergency and one of those steps was crowd control. If you are taking charge of an emergency situation, you delegate tasks. Point at one person and tell them to call 911, Point at another person tell them to warn traffic, Point at another person tell them to get the first aid kit if you know where it is. You assign small tasks to individuals instead of asking a crowd that way the task actually happens, and you’re not sitting around 20 minutes later wondering why the ambulance is taking so long to show up and it turns out that everyone assumed someone else called.

Now there is another step. Pick a big dude and tell him to stop people from filming. Which is actually the tamest version of what she said, because this lady went on and on about how phones are fragile, light, small, pieces of computer equipment that can be easily punted into oblivion.

And yeah, she’s probably the most vocal proponent of property destruction in the face of voyeur filming I’ve heard lately but she’s far from the only person in emergency services who’s frustrated with the eternal quest for viral videos of strangers pain.

And to be clear there is a huge difference between the paramedic who doesn’t want you filming and the cop who doesn’t want you filming.

Want to do an ask game that’s like “based on my neuroses what dog breed do you think I am” and I think that would be a terrible one
