Bober 🦫 I just wanna chill in a lodge. (Plus the other beav-post put them on my brain)

Field-fit engineering stays winning

They didn’t have to go back to beaver congress to ask for funding, or make sure the correct beaver-reps’ fail children get the construction contract. Or they didn’t have to spend 80 beaver-hrs building a more profitable beaver-project before they could do something that actually benefits their beaver-community. Or sit around arguing if climate change is too scawey for some beavers to engage with. Maybe it’s because there’s no beaver-bourgeoisie 🤔

Yes haha yes! One of my personal interests is “engineering WITHIN nature” (ie mostly what can we “unfuck” to an improved state of balance) and that can involve lots of beavers! 🦫 anyway enjoy some of my favorite beav-sites! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_drop https://yewtu.be/watch?v=rrOE-m7sX9E

I already was China-pilled before xhs, but you’re 100% correct. My interactions on it have been sharing pictures of our cats with people around the world who have cats with similar colors, and realizing a shared love of “harlequin ducks” with people from countries all throughout its migratory footprint. It’s like the internet I'm used to but without the toxicity clouding everything lol.

“If you don’t show up, you may as well start looking for a new job!”

Me who started planning my departure as soon as I arrived

As someone who watched the movie as a kid fortunately all I can remember is that a Barred Owl was a Bard in it. As a certified bird nerd I loved that and no one cared lol.

Once you pop the fun don’t stop

It seems like a weird fixation, but consider this is the map in your typical US classroom

Here’s hoping
