Corvids refers to birds belonging to the family Corvidae. Typically associated with birds in the genus Corvus, which includes crows, ravens, and loyalist primarchs, these "true crows" only make up 47 of the 135 current species. Corvids have native habitats in almost every place on Earth, and cover a wide variety of birds from the aforementioned crows and ravens to magpies, jays, and nutcrackers.

I'm gonna try and update the thread with a new corvid each day of the week, there's a lot of beautiful plummage on some corvids and also a lot of just like little gremlins, so hopefully that'll be kinda fun.

I hope everybody has a lovely week!


Monday: Little Crow (Corvus Bennetti) - Western and Central Australia

Tuesday: Hooded Crow (Corvus Corone Cornix) - Western Asia and Northern, Eastern, and Southern Europe

    Hello everyone! Been a while, but I finally finished my second thesis, and now I graduate this week. So I'm back to posting as before.

    General updates:

    Being gay with my partner is still very nice.

    Holy shit when the fuck did I turn into a girl I bought a swimsuit the other day and it looked perfect on me???? I never imagined it would happen.

    I got addicted to fountain pens and started another warhammer army. Help.

    Gay wrath month begins today!! Don't forget to take it out on as many cishets as you can to keep them in line! Here's a list of ideas:

    • Kick them in the shin
    • Throw rotten food at them
    • Hiss every time they try to speak
    • Cut in line in front of them
    • Jug of piss (use your imagination)
    • Throw their phone in a microwave when they're not looking
    • Lure them to the park where the most aggressive geese are
    • Pepper spray
    • Get them a wrapped present, but leave the box empty
    • Spring snake in a can prank
    • Slash their tires

    Have fun unleashing your wrath this month folks!

    was outside tonight doing some clandestine water canning of my potted plants and prepping for the heat. plenty of bugs about. little jumping spider by the hose nozzle and a big grass spider by my feet.

    i gave them both a little spritz of mist. the jumper was too small to track but that grass spider ran around for a second before stopping to slurp slurp slurp.

    just make sure you don't hit them with too cold water, preferably filtered if possible, and spray far away as possible but close enough they can feel the drops. some spiders will "lick" the water off their own bodies if they are thirsty. you can tell if their abdomens look a little like a deflated balloon. so yeah don't forget about the littlest things in this heat

    I watched 'I saw the TV Glow' finally. Honestly devo that's gonna leave a mark. I think it's the first time I've felt like a character's life is relatable in a film. Not everything, but the like lying to parents to sneek time with friends where things make sense, the exploration and shying back, alienation from your own life.

    It was good, I had a really solid cry after, for what might have happened if I didn't meet my wife, what happens to so many people, and I guess the confused grief of child me that I don't ever really take out of the "don't open" box in my head.

    Solid film, I really recommend it.

    It did for me too. My egg had cracked but I wasn't transitioning at all. Broke down crying several times while watching.

    Yup, although for me it was this site. Thank god I figured it out when I did. Living life as a depressed zombie while T poisons me further sounds horrible. Genuinely worse then death. I can't imagine waking up in 30 years not having transitioned.

    i did my first shot! (been on gel for a few years). I've had the vial sitting around for a bit but inertia/being scared of needles the normal amount made me delay. it wasn't so bad at all! really pleased with myself and i think it'll be a lot easier next week

    I'm becoming so much more secure in my transition as my body keeps changing and I lean how to present the way I feel on the inside. This won't be even slightly surprising to younger me, but I'm a tomboy. I'm so much happier and hopeful for the rest of this process as I've learned to accept that and the fact that I'm still a beautiful woman even if I do prefer minimal makeup, frequently wear band t-shirts and pants, and love getting dirty outside or by wrenching on something.

    Now I just have to start voice training >.<

    Listened to my cis coworker jawing about her mental health and how it's hard to know if it's just a normal reaction to a sucky society then she makes the aside that "dysphoria wouldn't exist if we didn't have gender societally" and it just made me mad... Is that bad

    I think I got a job where I'm gonna work on hvac systems provided the other candidates aren't more desperate than me, I'll know by next week. They got walk in freezers, a huge ac unit, and a lot of PTACs and I'll have to do a lot of other things too unrelated to hvac that I at least studied like some plumbing and maybe some boiler stuff. I still wanna try union stuff in october but even if I get in this time I might be on a waiting list for work anyway so this can be a good chance to put all my theory to the test.

    I shaved my face with a brand new razor and it left me with such bad razor burn, my skin hasn't burnt this bad from shaving in a long time. And this is a brand of razor I've used for a while, I've never had this issue, but this brand usually gets the closest shave I can find for the price. It was an okay shave today, but damn if it doesn't hurt

    Curse the sober living for stealing all my shaving foam 😭

    Pronouns people used on me in support group:

    They 2x
    He 1x

    anyway fuck my life. No one struggled with the trans guy's pronouns if you were curious (who doesn't pass any better then I do, also if you're curious [also also, who doesn't pronouns in his name but I do]).

    So my cousin is transphobic I'm like 99% sure, and I think she knows the way she dances around the questions she's trying to ask me. Pretends to be positive and an ally but is secretly concerned about how many trans people there are nowadays.

    Kinda wanna force femme/masc/andro the entire population into being trans now /s

    It's not surprising tho, she's said eco-fascist shit too in the past but again, knows it's bad I think and keeps it subtle.
