Being a novice gardener whose first priority is creating a welcoming place for wildlife with plenty of native plants and natural food sources has made me even more aware of how many people genuinely despise nature and wild animals especially. Like gardening communities and resources are filled with an absurd amount of disdain for anything other than bees, butterflies, and pretty birds that never ever eat anything from the garden.

Finding other people with similar goals and desires to mine, people who love native flora and fauna and want to welcome animals in rather than keep them out, feels like finding an oasis in the desert. I know things are getting better, I know this attitude is changing, but it feels so slow and difficult.

#i've been looking up how to plant berry bushes directly in a yard #and every single page seems to come with a guide on how to build cages around them to keep the birds out #but i? want the birds??? #i don't even like blueberries i just want to provide a native and natural food source for animals

(World War III #2) Deathstroke: All the work you put in, everything you'ev sacrificed for his mission… …and at the end of the day, he trusts Harvey Dent to take care of Gotham. Not you. Batgirl: I need-- Deathstroke: You don't need to justify anything, not to me. I ccept you for you you are. Batman keeps you close because he knows what you are. What you were born to be. A killer. He'll put up with you as long as you follow his rules. As long as you try to change. Truth is, he couldn't take you down on his best day. We all need a place to belong, Cassandra. You know where to find me.

Deathstroke is so slimy here. He's terrible and he sucks. "Truth is, he couldn't take you down on his best day." It's true but the way he says it. The context of it all.

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character

#dpxdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #tales of the passerine au #musician danny ftw. as someone who loves music i am more than happy to make this boy a frequent singer. this au is still baby #i can squeeze singer/musician danny in pr easily. #some favorite lines i saw while looking for symbolisms is that nightingales in roman culture were associated with venus and were also said #to provide comfort in the hours of darkness. eh eh? i saw a summary that in chinese folklore they were seen as symbols of hope #it didn't specify which dynasty but it did say it was a famous tale. cite also mentioned that in John Keats' “Ode to a Nightingale” #the bird’s enchanting song transports the poet to a world of transcendent beauty providing a temporary escape from the suffering and imperm #anyways looks like nightingales in gist symbolize comfort in dark times among other things #while robins in gist symbolize renewal. celebration of life. good luck. rebirth. #nightingale's color scheme in my mind is very much a dark purple-blue and black. maybe some gray too. #he'll probably try and ditch the black and white just out of paranoia. argh i need to come up with a suit design nooooo. superhero suit #design is my weakkkest design skill. have to balance between practical and a unique silhouette thats in line with their character. #esp since danny's not using his ghost half to be nightingale -- way too risky. also not using his powers/using them very little. #maybe i can work in an ocarina batman reference lmaoo. i can lean into comic/cartoon realism and have fun with that. as a treat

Y'know someone's probably waxed poetic about this already but it's on my mind so I'm gonna do it again.

When it comes to encouraging people to learn about native plants and habitat and involving themselves and their yards in the wider ecosystem, you gotta meet them where they're at.

And maybe that means they won't go as far into it as you are or would like them to in your wildest dreams. But even small steps count towards the bigger picture and I think we need to appreciate that more.

An example from my own life is my mom and the current gardening project we're working on. We're planning out the garden beds in the front of the yard by the mailbox--my mom's previous plantings for the most part haven't worked out, so I'm taking a crack at it.

I'm a pollinator gardening enthusiast who cares more about attracting as many butterflies bees and hummingbirds as possible than keeping things 'neat' and 'tidy'. However, not only do we live in an HOA neighborhood (though not as intense as some other stories I've heard), but I know my mother--an interior designer who has a deeply vested care for making sure the exterior of the house looks as Nice as possible.

We're still getting a pollinator garden in the front though. How? I'm meeting her where she's at, I'm making some concessions, she's making some concessions, but ultimately we're making something that works for the both of us. She doesn't want the plants too tall and messy? We'll trim them back in fall and winter--the insects can use the backyard garden to nest in. She doesn't want things too wild and bushy and weedy? We'll add a nice mulch to the beds, keep things a bit spaced out until they grow in to their larger sizes. She doesn't know the latin names for the plants I'm asking for, let alone how to pronounce them to ask for them at a garden center? That's fine, I don't know the Latin names for most things anyways, let's just use common names.

Does she care that the garden will attract butterflies and hummingbirds? Not intrinsically--she sees it as more of a bonus, if anything. She just cares about what color everything will be and if it'll be easy to maintain. The fact that they're native plants barely registers as a plus side to her. And honestly? That is fine.

If I approached this problem with a hardheaded attitude on how I wanted it to be just as wild and free as my backyard garden? There wouldn't be any native plants in the front beds. It's not like I didn't teach my mom things, but I didn't lecture her like she was lesser just for not knowing or caring as much about native gardening as I do. And that, ultimately, made her more open to the idea than she would've been if I looked down on her like I've seen too many people do to others.

Not everyone is going to develop a deeply seated care about native plants and Latin names and I don't think it's reasonable to expect that. Meet people where they're at and you just might get a lot more done. Meet people where they're at and you just might find they'll get excited enough to learn more--but if they don't want to learn more, that is fine.

We can't expect everyone on the globe to suddenly become plant experts rattling off Latin names left and right and professionally ID'ing native and invasive plants. In the same way we wouldn't expect everyone to suddenly learn the ins and outs of learning code, or how to synthesize medicines, or how to properly build a house. And that is fine. Because we can lean on those who do know when these things come up.

I lost track of where this was going but. Y'know????

#out of queue #ani rambles #may delete later #like idk between the CPBD channel and some posts ive seen on here #it feels like a lot of people expect EVERYONE to learn ALL the Latin names for everything and thats just not realistic #Latin names make me fuckin dizzy just hearing them out loud 99% of the time #we can't admonish your everyday homie for referring to things by their common name and not knowing the ins and outs of native gardening #you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. don't look down on people for things they don't know and instead lift them up #thats the best way to get people curious about wanting to learn more #and lead by example. show good results and people will be interested. #i put up a bird feeder for the first time like 2 years ago and just this weekend my mom decided to buy a window feeder because she likes #seeing the birds. does she care about providing habitat for wild creatures? no she just likes seeing the pretty birds. #im not gonna lecture her for not putting up a birdhouse and birdfeeder and just wanting to see the birds??? thats stupid #if she wants to get into more then she'll get into more and if she doesn't even a small contribution is still a contribution yknow? #like if someone's doing something actively/with risk to be harmful by all means talk to them about it but like #dont be fuckin rude guys #im going to bed

Thinking about the Gävle goat and how there is something oddly beautiful about how it was eaten by birds rather than either burning or rotting

#like HEAR ME OUT #in giving itself as food for the birds #it gave itself to nature and provided them food #instead of simply being destroyed by fire or decay #it provided food and nourishment #instead of just…destruction or decay #I don’t know where I’m going with this and I’m not sure what happens to it if it isn’t burned down #but I just think it’s kind of beautiful in how it gave something back and benefitted the birds of nature #when ordinarily it would have just been destroyed #my brainpoops #gavle goat #gavlebocken #Christmas

I saw some birds circling above the smallest of hills on the way home from work today, and my brain immediately went "Satori Mountain? A shrine? Something else cool?"

And the small part of my brain not completely taken over by Zelda brainrot replied "There's probably a thermal there, idiot."

The way I try to create an inclusive environment for new bird people to not be afraid to ask questions and join the community and a good chunk of the community just replies with “don’t get a bird”

Way to be inclusive and helpful guys 👏

#people are gonna get birds no matter what #how about #instead of Don’t #you provide the tools for them to succeed #or easily see that all those tools are too much for them #way more productive than just saying don’t
