More like Tickle down my balls npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady I grew up in a family that doesn't celebrate 'mediocrity'. And for a long time I thought that was good. I thought that winning a bronze medal in a quiz bee was not something worth celebrating. And looked down on kids my age whose parents celebrated 'losses'. This is always accompanied by my mother overcomparing me with my cousins who got ahead of me somewhere. Now, I wish my family celebrated placing third, or fourth or not even at all. Because Ive tied my worth on how many first place and gold medals I win. Celebrate your kid's 'mediocrity' or whatever you wanna label it. It grounds them on the reality that not everything has to be a competition. Cause right now I don't know how to even start. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Colombia wtf npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Just because someone can carry it well doesn't mean it aint heavy. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Two of my photos on ebird are on the Top 100 photos in Australia!

The Carolina Parakeets were known to grieve their fallen comrades. Hence, when one bird gets shot by stupid motherfucking hunters, they will stop and mourn. And of course, the hunters will kill them in larger numbers.

Shut up. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady FYI Folks, Pink Cockatoo is no longer being listed as Major Mitchell Cockatoo, atleast by Birdlife Australia--the largest bird organisation in the country. The name change was due to Thomas Livingstone Mitchell's leadrship in the massacre of First Nations in 1836. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Pls name a good horror film to watch on a Friday night. +++ if I haven't seen it lol (which you wont know in the first instance duh lol) npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady The council is one of the cruellest. Last year, they voted to make rough sleeping and homelessness illegal. This year, they can now seize personal items of homeless people including beddings. We are at a time of global inflation and erratic weather. You could have extended your hands just a little further to people who are already drowning from exclusion, lack of support and stigma.

I didnt feel anything less, but of course there are perverts, reply guys and more perverts to the point I got a personal email from a dude who reported that a certain Jean (me) on Mastodon is stealing my identity (me again) hahaha. They have since stopped not sure if its because Im 32 now lol Would be keen to know gender disparity differences too cause I dont think what happened to me is unique npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady RE: https://aus.social/@HeathC/116462055386028951 Nature is healing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #note17ye…jy2t npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Australia is probably the only country that waged a war against the animal they so proudly put in their coat of arms. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady TIL that Australia has 56 parrot species (including true parrots and cockatoos) making it the fourth in the world in terms of that category. First in the list is Brazil (82), followed by Indonesia (77) and Colombia (57). Amazing. I love 🦜 npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady So not only has Facebook stopped allowing unlogged browsing for public forums and public pages, it has also redirects you automatically to the signup page. Before, I can just close the big window that asks for you to sign in/log in and can access the latest two (or three) posts in the group. That seems to be impossible to do anymore unless of course you have Meta accounts (Ive deleted mine in 2017). Now, how the fuck do I know if the event on Sunday is happening and if so, where. Stop using social media as websites!!!!!!!!!! npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady This is the brightest part of the rainbow and it kinda stayed there for over 7 minutes.

This is the Europe and Anglosphere countries who keep portraying themselves as the police man of the world. Take a mirror and look at your history. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady The USA is the embodiment of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady People leaving ChatGPT for Claude because the latter refused to surveil American citizens.

I dont think those big companies are willing to rent out something for 2 mos. We have flatmates.com here in Oz. I checked out sparerooms.com, but its very expensive to get verified. Would appreciate any help. #boostwelcome npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Almost find the self-centredness of Global North (for the lack of better term) people hilarious. Comments surrounding this news is met with 'oh no, thats bad', 'Im not gunna go' blah blah blah Biometric data being collected on borders are now trending amongst all of you, people, because its now affecting people who have historically floated through borders on imperial privilege. Suddenly, theres talk of surveillance, Orwellian and freedom. For most of us, especially people from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the colletion of biometrics have been baked into mobility for decades. We want to visit a "First World" "Developed Country"? Were expected to hand over our fingerprints, a scan of our iris, a full financial history, and proof well go back home, as if were guilty until proven worthy of tourism. You didnt mind when the surveillance state was brown, Black, poor or stateless people being stripsearched by algorithms. Now that you’re facing a diluted version of the same system, you expect outrage, sympathy, solidarity. Own the system you benefited, let grow. U dont get to pretend this is something new. Not saying your point that biometric collection is bad, but where was the fucking outrage when we with poor passports, have to basically give our autobiography for entry. Double standard hypocrisy.

This is the second typhoon in ONE WEEK, after the recent one a couple of days ago left 200+ people dead. Enough with the glamourisation of 'resilience'. The Filipino people are tired of being labeled resilience. We want environmental justice which not only slapa the wrist of mining corporations and greedy politicians. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-09/philippines-evacuates-100-000-people-as-fung-wong-intensifies-in/105989236 npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady For next Melbourne Cup, replace the horses with billionaires in horse costume.

So its not really that special then? Has keen interest on ONE specific topic. Chronically underpaid, depressed, overworked and underpublished? Any PhDs know a 'PhD level' attached to anything is NOT a compliment lol https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/019/879/227/194/067/original/b3648e709b47a4fc.png npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady The main principle in Age-gating policies that frames children as innocent, apolitical and pure is only reserved to white children. Black, indigenous, poor and migrant children are never guaranteed the same innocence. The unfaltering carcerality, criminalisation and killing of poor children rarely get into the policy radar. And when it does often through actions on the street that call for justice, the protests are deliberately shut down and framed as violent. But, there has never been an admission on the same systemic violence that our kids face on their everyday. This is the world we live. Any forms of paternalism that they want to put us on is an extension of their grip. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady Question. For people who require Alt-text, I want to know if the 'AI'-generated ones actually help. Ive been seeing this as the go-to method for many recently. I know my alt-text isnt perfect either. And 'AI' alt text probably better than no alt text at all (citation needed) But I feel like they're somehow counterproductive given how the resulting text dont usually take into account the nuances of the image. I could be wrong. But if you ask 'AI' to process an image of a woman smiling. It will just describe it as such, but if youre the photographer and you know that was taken after a typhoon or something, youd write it differently from the way the machine did. npub1qs3070n2plhglm0pk0phunt4qxrumkadmlu5u4wuc3k3u7vgde7q78ylcq Jean, the bird lady The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner is calling for inputs for the Children’s Online Privacy Code.
