The scientific name for the Red Grouse is Lagopus lagopus scotica.
Lagopus is derived from the Ancient Greek lagos, meaning ‘hare’ and pous, meaning ‘foot’, in reference to their fancy feathered snow shoes which are delightful, but rarely seen as they keep well hidden amongst the heathland.

World Animal Day
What is your favorite memory of an animal interaction in the park? Seeing a Cascade fox or mountain goat for the first time? Laughing at the antics of a marmot? Listening to bird song in the early morning, or watching bats swoop silently in the calm of an evening? Mount Rainier National Park is charged with protecting the wildlife of the park, just like the park protects the meadows, forests, glaciers, and the mountain itself. These treasures are preserved for their own sake but also so that you and future generations can experience them. However, these animals can only be protected with your help. Please stay on trails to protect habitat, drive carefully on park roads, dispose of trash responsibly, and do not feed any animals to help Keep Wildlife Wild. Thank you!

🍰 for Alika and 🍾 for hazel
🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable? i answered here, love!
🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event? The way Hazel believes in luck is very unusual. For him, luck never gives away anything, but always takes. On the other hand, Hazel believes that others can be lucky. For example, he thinks Noah is the luckiest motherfucker on earth. In general, he has a protective symbol tattooed on the sole of their foot to avoid bad luck. Before any stressful event he always pulls out at least one Tarot card to see how it might pan out. Still, I won't call him superstitious, pessimistic is more appropriate.

My kid's school board is patting themselves on the back for lowering the millage rate for the first time in decades while still providing teacher raises (sorely needed raises, I fully support this!).
AND YET.
I have a permission form on my desk right now that says the performing arts program is funded 100% through parent donations, and would I be so kind as to donate money to allow my child to see a production of the goddamn Nutcracker. Also, would I be so kind as to donate extra money for those who can't afford the recommended donation?
(To be clear, this is not like the drama program at a high school, this is just, we would like to take your elementary kid to see the highschool orchestra play or bring a kid-friendly theater production to perform at the school).
My god, raise the millage rate so we can have educational experiences that don't take place behind a desk. Raise the millage rate so I don't have to deal with eight thousand microtransactions donation requests for my kid to have a well-rounded education.
Field trips, yes! Take my kid to a farm so she can pet a goat and smell fresh air. Take my kid to a planetarium, a museum, a public garden. Help me expose my kid to as many different ideas as possible.
This is the village, [Redacted] School Board. You are part of my village now, as mandated by the state. Help me educate my kid.
