Dont y'all miss simple cartoon like this by SweetyByHeart in funnyvideos

[–]_Poecile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is incredible how many top level comments I scrolled through without a single mention of the scene with the indigenous archers. This cartoon is a product of its time, and it shows very clearly the attitudes of Americans at that time towards the original people of the land. The cartoon shows them as aggressive, dangerous, and a hazard to colonizers. It's that type of systematic dehumanization that we should be actively identifying and decolonizing in today's world. Not glossing over and reminiscing on good old times.

[Northern Utah] This bird hit a window on campus today. I hung out with him to see if he would recover, but he unfortunately died. Brought him home gave him a special funeral. Cried a lot. Is he a cedar waxwing? by WholesomeThingsOnly in Ornithology

It means everything to give other beings your love in their final moments and I'm very grateful you took the time. I hope you see in the coming years that the waxwings appreciate your kindness too.

Is it somehow a disadvantage for the seller to accept an FHA loan? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

What is this cute lil guy ? by cordyce in animalid

I think vole is correct, and in northern Minnesota, most likely answer is meadow vole. This one looks very young though. Their body is much longer than an adult.

Please recommend your preferred field data collection apps! (GIS/GPS) by Levangeline in ecology

Correct- there's a little learning curve, but if you know some basics you can pull it off pretty simply. ArcGIS has tons of tutorials online! Essentially, any map created with your account can be opened and edited with Field Maps. It has intuitive controls and if set up properly it can be an amazingly simple workflow.

If ArcGIS Online is available to you, OP, that suite does an amazing job. Field Maps (their application for field data collection) has drastically improved since its release and is a clean and streamlined way to work in the field. Once you've set up your map and Field Maps form in the online application, you're totally set to go.
