I'm The Local Bird Guy In My Neighbourhood. I Love Taking Care Of My Little Dudes. We've Never Had A

I'm the local bird guy in my neighbourhood. I love taking care of my little dudes. We've never had a bird fly so hard into the window that they hurt themselves (that I know of), but we get window whacks pretty frequently, and it can be extremely alarming and scary. For anyone who has frequent winged visitors, this seems almost essential.

I just had a bird bump into my window for the first time since I moved here in 2018. It didn’t hit hard and it flew away fine.

Still, I don’t want to risk a real window strike, so I just ordered myself some Window Alert decals.

A lot of retailers and online stores carry them, and they very much do work. It’s worth it. I’ve had them in places I’ve lived before, and the last time I worked at a small office, we had them there as well.

@todaysbird​ - I know this isn’t about a bird in particular, but this may still be something you want to see.

sudden urge to burst into tears. im not a toddler i just agree with their beliefs

Autism is feeling mature compared to your peers as a child and then as an adult feeling extremely immature and childish compared to your peers

Real.

Neurodivergency ≠ lack of moral comprehension. You will never be coddled for intentionally being a bad person.

Stop using autism as an excuse for shitty behaviors. Truly, fuck off.

I don't give a fuck about your autism. Pathetic shit of an excuse if I've ever seen one. If you're seriously ok with going around telling people to go kill themselves, you have a morality problem, not an autism problem.

You're still an asshole even if you're autistic. You're just an autistic asshole. And you don't get to make the rest of us look bad, because you somehow think it's cool to weaponize autism in order to be a steaming shit pile of a person.

Autistic people are perfectly capable of distinguishing right from wrong.

Go fuck yourself.

Something about the fact Covid is being talked about like a common cold now is horrifying to me.

"Oh yeah I got covid again, gonna be resting for a week or so"

"Coworkers came in sick again, now I've got covid. Oh well, whatcha gonna do"

Its normal now. The new strains, the repeated catching, the fact its no longer a pandemic and is now a part of our daily lives.

A deadly disease that can and does permanently disable people who catch it is being treated like an inconvenient stomach bug.

And it was avoidable.

People are dying and being disabled in fucking droves and all anyone can say is "whelp, that's how it goes!" As if there wasn't/aren't vaccines, as if there wasn't/aren't methods that can help (masking, social distancing, etc), as if other places who took it more seriously didn't have better survival rates.

This outcome wasn't a guarantee. Selfish, ableist, racist, conspiracy loving ass-hats made sure it happened.

Looking at the numbers and then talking to people who didn't want to mildly inconvenience themselves to save lives is horrific.

Millions died.

Millions more will follow.

Thousands were disabled by it.

Thousands will follow.

And it. Was all. AVOIDABLE.

Stimming isn't enough. I need to violently vibrate out of existence
