Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Climate change is messing it up, but it's still a good idea

Yeah - a few years ago I moved to an area where the Robins returning meant the start of spring. They were here last week.

If you're interested in doing this did yourself I recommended looking at the Wheel of the Year

You need to look at the Japanese 52 seasons calendar.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Very intrigued. I found 72 to be the number. Gotta figure out how to convert the events to different locations

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry, yeah. 72. And a Brit wrote a book translating them to his version. So maybe look there?

Last night I stuck all the major meteor showers into my calendar. I’d gone outside and seen stars and remembered how l much I love to see stars and I rarely stargaze nowadays. I’m going to make more of an effort, especially for the seasonal meteors.

You can add the NY Times astronomy calendar to your existing calendar if you don't want to manually enter in data:

Did this motherfucker just politely tell me to touch grass?

I had one apartment where every summer a countless hoarde of swallows would take up residence :)

I look forward to autumn because the weather gets real nice on the southern hemisphere.

For me, it begins in Spring with the song of the robins, and slowly transitions into red-winged blackbirds singing their song in the wetlands. That eventually dies out somewhere during early summer and I get really depressed. After that all I have to look forward to is the call of the flicker in the late evenings.

I've always done something like this, and it was odd to realize most people have no clue about nature's rhythms.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That sounds stressful to me. Like I don't have enough to worry about without wondering where the fuck the birds went, or remember to water the magnolias.

Today I heard bird noises when I woke up. I hate spring, and somehow we don't even get birds that actually sing instead of voicing a monotone "cheep cheep cheep".

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Pick up some “songbird mix” seed bags and start putting some out to attract the singing birds :)

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Y'all got any more of that spring? I'll take your cheep cheeps, too.
