Would anyone like to see pictures of this bird I’m friends with

I love her

i am loving people’s attempts to identify this bird its just an australian magpie, she’s not a chimera, she’s not a fucked up crow, etc. she is just….. a regular run of the mill magpie

She is also a mother…. here is her yelling son who she brought to me one time

HOW THE HELL DID YOU BEFRIEND AN AUSTRALIAN MAGPIE

i give her chips sometimes

From what I’ve heard, australian magpies are actually quite nice if they trust you not to hurt them. Swooping season happens because, as a species, they’ve learned that most humans are Dangerous and so they preemptively attack to protect themselves and their young. If you’ve been nice to a group of magpies, though, they’ll remember you and you won’t be swooped at.

Magpies are extremely cool birds, and very intelligent… which means that they know that humans are the biggest threat around and that we can be good friends. Thus, swooping, and also not swooping humans who have proven themselves to be trustworthy sources of food.

The funniest interaction I ever had with some magpies was when one of my former workplaces had our Christmas lunch as a picnic in a park. A pair of magpies were teaching their fledgeling how to beg for food from humans. First one would approach, crouch down and coo at us; someone threw them a bit of cheese. Then the other adult approached, crouched down and cooed at us; someone threw a piece of cabanossi. Both tidbits were picked up, taken back and shared with the offspring… then the adults were standing there looking at the fledgeling and then at us, obviously going “Go on, then, you try it!”

Fledgeling magpie nervously walked closer to us, looked back at its parents, then half-crouched and yelled “RAWK!” in our direction. We cracked up laughing, startling the poor baby, but he or she got over it pretty quickly when a HAIL of bits of cheese and sausage landed all around.

me: okay time to jump into the action scene

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: don’t say it

me: … “SUDDENLY”

My go-to fixes for this:

1. but before [Character] could [verb], ACTION!
   
2. [Character] was about to [verb] when ACTION!
3. but no sooner had [something] than ACTION!
   
4. but just as [something boring], ACTION!
   
5. BANG!/CRASH!/BOOM! ACTION!
6. “Character dialogue starting some sentence about–” ACTION!
7. Character’s internal monologue starting some sent– ACTION!
8. Narrator starting some– ACTION!
   
9. … ACTION!

Why extend your readers the courtesy of a ‘suddenly’ except to vary sentence structure?

One of my go-to fixes is 

“Well, what could go wrong now?” [Character] said. 

As if on cue, ACTION!

here’s a new ideological movement for you: internet iconoclasm

• stop putting random internet people on pedestals because they’re funny or quirky or for any reason at all actually
  
• self examine and self criticize: are you putting too much stock in parasocial internet relationships? are you being mindful of the humanity of others?
  
• never lay down your pride to defend someone you’ve never even talked to
• remember that the person and the persona can be very different
  
• if an online celebrity or influencer deserves to be torn down, then let them be torn down.
  

The 1 exception: Seth Everman

how about no exceptions because this is literally a basic guide for healthy and respectful behavior wrt internet fame

Seth Everman IS the internet and we must worship him accordingly

do you people hear yourselves sometimes
