I’m still on Facebook mostly because I have a friend who runs a wildlife rescue and had to keep a bobcat that’s unreleasable because he was dropped on his head by a hawk as a kitten and doesn’t understand he’s a predator

It’s an absolute Pixar movie. Fennel is his favorite toy. Image
This bobcat is not bright.

I cannot overstate how not bright he is.

An apex predator in his natural ecosystem, meant to patrol a range of multiple square miles and terrorize smaller wildlife, in captivity he has taken up sunbathing and eating vegetables. Derpy bobcat spraddled on h...
Keeping a apex predator with two working brain cells is still expensive as hell, so you can buy this ridiculous potato some fennel here: forfoxsakewildlife.com/support-our-wo…

He’ll be an education animal in schools, post-pandemic, because he probably thinks he IS a human third grader. Image
Awwwwwwww I just went on Facebook and his rescuer posted about how they suddenly got a bunch of donations

Here is a bobcat tongue of thanks, I didn’t mention that his rescuer had their house destroyed by a tornado last year but they did and they def deserved a boost today!!! Image
A thank you from T'Challa's rescuer 💜💜💜💜

They were with him giving a presentation to a Scouts troop when this thread went viral and people started sending donations for this sweet boy's fennel!

Attention Internet: T’Challa received a huge gift box of fennel and toys from you today!!!

In true T’Challa fashion he was initially scared of the box because it made a noise, but he’s now having the time of his life.

Video description for the above tweet:

Bobcat investigates box labeled “To T’Challa, Love, Internet.” The box is full of fennel bulbs and big fluffy toys.

He runs away when the box makes a noise and rolls on his back in the sun, but then goes back to the box and chooses a toy. Bobcat in a big pile of toy...

I sent a text to friends this morning & some asked me to share more widely, so here it is 🧵:

I woke up just feeling like he doesn’t get to take anything more from me than he’s going to take no matter what I do. If he kills us all, then I die. But he doesn’t get my mind too.
He doesn’t get to make my life less enjoyable.

I control what I control, not him, and I control whether or not I spend the one life I have freaking out about him.
Dr. Edith Eger survived Auschwitz & wrote about realizing that when Nazis were screaming at her they still had no control of her mind.

And the fact that they didn’t understand that made them prisoners in a greater sense than her physical imprisonment.

It's September in Southern California, which means it's time for the annual Spider Simp Thread!

No photos, don't worry, just information on why you're seeing more, bigger spiders this month and what to do to avoid a face full of spiderweb without harming lovely mosquito eaters.
First, Giant Face Hug Spiderwebs: elaborate webs stretching across sidewalks or even whole streets will become more common this month through October/November.

These are the work of orb weavers! They've always been around, they're just at their largest in the fall.
Our local orb weavers in the Los Angeles area are:

- harmless (the only medically significant spider here is the black widow)
- extremely afraid of you - startle one at the wrong moment and it may run away then later EAT ITS ENTIRE WEB to avoid encountering you again

Hi! Heat wave picketers, would you like some tips on increasing your heat tolerance?

I'm an endurance rider, which means I do a sport that requires me to sometimes exercise in up to 120-degree temperatures for hours at a time.

Heat tolerance is not fixed—you can build it.
First rule of heat training is: NEVER PUSH IT.

I'm serious. Do NOT get heatstroke. It will take away all your hard work building heat tolerance and make it easier to get heatstroke again in the future.

If you feel overheated, even if you've been outside for 30 seconds, cool off
Related to "never push it," don't be distracted from your bodily sensations in heat.

For my neurodivergent folks especially: NO HYPERFOCUSING IN HEAT! You will not notice that you're too hot!

If you have to do hyperfocusy things, SET A TIMER for cooling breaks every 20 minutes.

The biggest “they hate us cause they ain’t us” arc of my lifetime

The obscenely rich can have anything they desire… except creativity and imagination.

So they attack it. If they can’t have it, it must be worthless. Like a street harasser screaming “You’re ugly anyway!”
Once upon a time, a friend got a job working for someone who makes an amount of money my mind can’t fathom, doing a job in the entertainment industry that many aspire to.

She passed his desk one day to find he’d left the screenplay he was working on open on his desktop.
Now, this guy seemed like a pretty decent fellow, and he was actually TRYING to find his own creativity. No hate!

But the point is, everyone wants to experience creative self-expression, even if every other desire they have ever had has been fulfilled.

wild how the percentage of workers belonging to a union peaked in 1954 at 35%

and 1954 is the "golden age of the vibrant, thriving middle class" that everyone yearns for

but nobody yearning for the golden age of the vibrant, thriving middle class is proposing more unions
NOSTALGIC POLITICIAN: we need to go back to 1954 to save the middle class

MILLENNIALS: neat! by getting 35% of American workers into strong labor unions, right?

POLITICIAN: not that part

MILLENNIALS: so what part then?

POLITICIAN: I was thinking racism and housewives
look I know correlation is not causation and some proximate cause could have led to both the golden age of unions AND the golden age of the middle class

but like... it doesn't seem like giving management 100% of the power & profits is working? look at the egg prices?

God, he's just such a basic fucking model of "dad whose kids don't like him."

No features. No bells and whistles. Not even power windows. Just an absolute, off the lot, take it or leave it, as-is crappy dad.
Men will literally buy Twitter, unban convicted terrorists, ban journalists, ban competitors, play footsie with white supremacists, and sell the office espresso machine at auction before apologizing to their kids.
And honestly? I think they have no idea how corny and absolutely the opposite of masculine that energy looks on them.

"I'm so TOUGH I am NOT going to be MANIPULATED into saying SORRY to my KID"

so ur gonna die alone to own your babies? that's the move?
