Happy Thanksgiving to all the US owl fans here, and a big thank you to everyone around the world that visits here.
I’m thankful I’ve gotten the opportunity to learn new things about animals with you every day for the last few months. We’ve been able to teach each other so many things, both about the places we’re from, and places most of us will probably never see.
We’ve gotten closer to each other, no matter where we are physically, and hopefully we feel a closer bond with our fellow creatures we share this world with.
Also a huge thanks to all the animal rescue and rehab workers. They work around the clock, entirely reliant on donations, and it is a tough job. Only about 30% of animals that make it to a rescue will survive. It must take a big heart and an iron will to deal with that amount of loss in a daily basis.
There are almost 2,000 subscribers now, which is probably about double from when I started posting. It’s been very fun to watch the number grow. Not huge numbers, but it seems pretty steady and not trailing off, so I’m hopeful for the future of this community.
I still see new names so the time, and there’s a few frequent commenters, and lately a few of you have even been posting! I encourage you all to post. It’s easy and fun, and nobody has been rude even when I’ve gotten things wrong, so don’t be afraid!
And we are (at least I am) thankful for you.
Thanks for taking the time to share knowledge about owls.
You have made this a great community.I’m grateful to hear that. Posting here has given me something to look forward to each day, and I’m sure that’s why the rest of you come here as well.
Lemmy is still pretty chill over all, but most of the top posts are still kinda negative things, so I want this to be a place where you know you can be put in a good mood right away. I’m happy that you guys keep us in pretty high up in Top for a niche group, and that’s what keeps it growing.
Joyeux Thanksgivings !
Merci!
