Incredibly damaging to be calling measures like masking and even self-isolation as "extreme" wtf
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

This is a Willow Ptarmigan, not Rock Ptarmigan. They are very similar so here are two ways to tell - Rock Ptarmigans maintain a black eyeline in their winter plumage. Second - vocalization. Compare them on sites like eBird or Xeno-Canto. Willow is silly, Rock is a croaky "ahhhhh". Love both <3
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

It's unfortunate, but the holiday season has become one of my least favorite times of the year.

Not sure I know how to post on social media anymore or if I even want to anymore. Just here, looking around once in a while.
