I like !superbowl@lemmy.world because it got me into wildlife rehab. I went to see owls up close, but I've gotten to witness real life miracles and meet the most amazing and loving people at what I feel is the hardest time in my life to stay positive about the world.

Lemmy has changed my life, and that's no exaggeration. I'm forever grateful for all the people that encouraged me by their positive interactions here, and it makes me happy every day to share things that make you smile and hopefully get you involved in helping your animal neighbors.

Screech Owls I released after they lost their nest.

Driving a snapping turtle home after its shell healed after hit by a car.

Opossums saved after their mother and siblings were hit by a car.

One of many orphaned squirrels released to my back yard.

My roughest and toughest owl baby of the season! (Recently released)

Releasing bunnies I raised by tube feeding.

Meatball, an orphaned groundhog.

First meeting with our new educational owl.

Fox kit brought back from death by CPR. (Almost ready for release.)

My first patient of the season.

We will treat about 5000 animals this year, so this is just a tiny sample of what I get to be a part of. Thanks for the API lockdown, Reddit! And thanks again to everyone here! 🦉❤️

showerthoughts - for stuff that you spontaneously thought of (non-political)
uhm ... all the transfem communities?

oh and what makes them special: you can learn new things easily :p so it's like "microdosing knowledge"

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
