a little bit of djungelskog bear columbo can be good for the soul
dismissing really good posts because i dont want to support the shitty 'Liked By [mutual]' feature
You can turn this feature off.
First, go to your Account Settings.
ALTNavigate to "Dashboard Preferences".
ALTToggle "Include posts liked by blogs you follow" Off.
ALTAnother miscellaneous tip because the setting is in the screenshot: I find putting timestamps on posts is very helpful, especially for older news stories that come fluttering back to your dash years later.
oh cool tysm!
Is it just me or is the Wolf Conservation Center twitter on some fuck shit? I'm really getting the vibe they're anthropromorphizing their animals for engagement and not actually using the platform for wolf education.
I hate wording like this because it's just writing to get engagement and bait an emotional response from your audience instead of using the opportunity to educate your audience. It's borderline ARA levels of anthropomorphizing, which is exceedingly irresponsible and disappointing to see coming from what otherwise has seemed to be a decent conservation center.
Public relations and education is extremely important when it comes to the GP's understanding of animals, and your social media presence as a conservation center should be focused on education and getting the word our about ways to help with wolf recovery efforts and the ongoing legal battles against wolf eradication efforts rather than "humans and wolves both have eyes..we are the same 🥺 #coexist" nonsense.
Also would it kill them to talk about Iberian wolves?
It’s a step up from what it could be. It’s better to see wild animals as living beings with feelings than as cool toys like Save a Fox does. They also tweet a lot about why wolves need to be relisted
So yeah, it’s not the best to anthropomorphize them, but anthropormophization > objectification
They might have a new social media director. Whatever it is, it’s probably no fault of the actual WCC staff’s own.
Unfriendly reminder that all you idiots being like "yeah just pirate media now, fuck corporations!" posting links and just openly telling people where to download pirated media are why it's so hard to find safe, working sites for it anymore.
I've been doing this shit for over 20 years and the availability has gone down as it's become more mainstream. The more you publicly talk about all these sites the less there are. Shut up. Tell people in private or don't tell them at all.
I was a pretty weird outcasted child so one of the greatest wonders of my adult life has been realizing that you can just go someplace and meet some people and casually make some friends, and they might not be in your life forever but you can hang out for a while, and then you can go somewhere else and do it again, and again, if it doesn’t work out no biggie, etc.
Also there’s no point in your life where the window on making friends just closes. You’re never going to hit an age where that’s that, you’re done making friends, you’ll never make another one again. Seems pretty academic but honestly I think it would have saved younger-me (and particularly university-aged me) a lot of stress and worry if someone had just sat me down and told me this.
i got this photo with gus from breaking bad and the conversation went like this
me: “hey can you pretend this banana I found outside is a gun?”
him: “it is a gun”
me: “shit you’re a good actor”
