St Hugh of Lincoln is often depicted with a swan, because he was friends with a swan. The swan would follow Hugh around, eat from his hand, and reputedly attacked people who threatened his saintly human BFF. For this reason, the best pictures of St Hugh are the ones where the swan looks like it’s about to fuck you up. Like, massively.
“[Sheri’s] sons are reeling from the loss and have no emergency funds to pay for her burial and funeral expenses. Also, without her disability check, her sons need funds to cover one months rent so that they will not be evicted from their home. The funds that are raised will go directly to the Southern Oaks Funeral Home. Her funeral will be this Friday, but the facility will allow the family to make payments.”
Hey all, my little brother’s best friend’s mother just passed away suddenly. My dad is trying to help his family raise money for funeral expenses, please share and donate if you’re able.
UPDATE: “Thanks very much to all who have donated to help Tyler and Jordan fund their mother’s funeral expenses. We are progressing toward our total goal of $8,500. Also, a clarification: the landlord has NO intention of evicting these young men and has waived their rent for the current month to give them a chance to catch up on their other bills.”
Why do people hate turkey vultures I mean look at them
They’re super curious and clever and have that sense of innocent mischief you’d expect from a puppy.
They’re pretty much solar powered and they assume The Stance while recharging
CUTE FLOOFY NECK FEATHERS THAT MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY’RE WEARING A TURTLE NECK!!
Since they lack the hooked talons of their raptor cousins, these lil dudes really can only use their beak to investigate stuff, so they just softly nibble things (until they decide that what they’re nibbling feels super fun to take apart and play with).
Plus their scientific name means Golden Purifier because of their golden brown feathers and the fact that they clean up all the nastiest bits of corpses.
They’re just.
Such Good Birds.
you are seriously underestimating the beak strength and shredding potential of an animal that regularly rips through deerhide on the side of the road
THEIR BITES HURT
A LOT
They do Ive been bitten by one
But i love them anyway they are good birbs
Yes, vultures are awesome! The vultures that I work with do regularly try to sample human flesh, but they are well-loved anyway!
If vultures didn’t get rid of roadkill and other carrion, who would? They’re good birbs!
ATTENTION NYC FOLKS: In case you haven’t noticed, it’s very cold outside. The city has issued a Code Blue Weather Emergency, which means no one who is homeless and seeking shelter will be denied. Should you see an individual who appears to be homeless and in need out in the cold, please call 311, give a description of the person and the location, and an outreach team will be dispatched to assist. You don’t have to do anything else but call. You don’t need to approach the person, or wait for anyone to arrive. Just #Call311
Whether you are in NYC now or not, please copy/paste/share! It doesn’t take much effort on your part and could immensely help those in need.
I am honestly never comfortable with any advice that includes “ring this number, report a homeless person and Services™ will go to them!” because, well, it’s invasive.
You know about the emergency situation. Why not tell the person about it, explain that they can have guaranteed shelter and ASK if they would like you to call for them?
Apart from being more respectful, this is safer. Lots of homeless people have good reason to fear discrimination, abuse and violence in service settings. They know the risk calculation. You don’t.
sometimes i wanna make some memes or relatable posts about being raised mennonite but i’m pretty sure i went to summer camp with an appreciable proportion of all the american mennonites my age
anyway my dudes how about bierocks? and why cant our elders shut the fuck up about winter wheat or whatever
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and yet somehow this feels Deeply Relatable
if you ever ate too much cabbage or talked shit on the amish then you’re like halfway mennonite already
