A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.
!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.
Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food.
i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!
Corvids are amazing!!!

Oh HEY, my fic Anyone Else just reached 20,000 hits!! That’s very cool! This is a dark one, yet another of my many series 3 fix-its, with lots and lots of angst. The summary I wrote for it was “Sherlock is in the middle of a case involving a vigilante serial killer when he discovers that John has been cheating on Mary, and not with him.” Oof. This is exactly the 30th of my current 86 posted fics to achieve this milestone, so that’s fun! Thanks to any and every one of you who have read this one!
I love this so much!

Reminder that queer eye season 5 came out today. I haven’t seen any advertisement for the new season but I feel like especially now people might use a positive destraction
I just remembered this last night and it was a happy shock of joy! Made the rookie mistake of forgetting to take my mascara off before watching, haha
