Pastel drawing of four orphaned common swifts tucked into a crochet nest. There is one bird in the middle facing left with its long sickle-shaped wings crossed behind it. Another is perched on the top of the nest with its tiny feet. and Two others are tucked under the central bird, with long wings sticking out. The birds are primarily drawn in oranges and pinks while the nest is blue.

Pastel drawing of a pair of common swifts tucked up in a crochet nest. The upper one is lying with its head close to the ground and folded wings poking straight up behind it and out of the nest. The lower birds wings are curved around the edge of the nest and its beak is open. The birds are mostly in oranges and pinks, while the nest is blue.

Studies from life of some swifts I met, who were under the care of a wonderful swift rehabilitator.

The climate crisis-fuelled heatwaves in Europe this summer have resulted in larger numbers of swift nestlings jumping early to escape the heat of their nests. These are some of the lucky ones who were found and given a second chance at taking to the skies of our changing world.

OCD recovery is cosmically unfair because it's the only disorder i know of where the treatment is 'okay! now make yourself feel worse'

strangehorse

depression recovery: go for a walk. eat some nice food. meet with a friend. be kind to yourself.

OCD recovery: okay, so it's very important to accept that we cannot definitively rule out that you are mega-hitler, and you may have caused 9/11

i'm not really into blondes but this is an objectively absurd connection to make

In order to be properly non-pedophilic you have to want to fuck somebody old but not with gray or white hair because that's too close to blonde which as we've established is the hair color of children. So ideally somebody old as fuck but bald. And obviously wanting to have sex with a man is misogynistic so it has to be a woman. And it can't be a white woman because that would be racist and it can't be a woman of color because that would be fetishistic, so ideally a woman with some unnatural skin color, oh let's say, purple. But it can't be an alien, because we don't know anything about alien life cycles so it could be an alien child or an alien that looks like a child. So it has to be an animal from Earth, but obviously one of human level intelligence that can communicate is otherwise that would be bestiality. So an old purple female animal that can speak English. I think the only creature you can be hot for is the Ant Queen from A Bug's Life.
