The birding community is a special one. In my experience, they take care of the land where they're seeking a glimpse of the next rare bird. They smile at their fellow binocular-ed passersby, share good spots (but not all of them), and pick up trash as they go on their way. The hobby is (mostly) a respectable one, involving an appreciation for living things. It's allowed me to be more present, soaking up the quiet beauty of most surroundings. It's tough to be a birder in New York City. The same…

I mean, she's licking her paw in an incredibly adorable way. And she deserves it! In the world of memes, dogs ha…

Maybe she's born with it?

Parents: Who needs them? Who's got them? Who can't live without them? The answer to all of those questions is…everybody. Sure, not everyone has a relationship with their biological parents , but two people had to do an act of collaboration for you to be alive.

The most critical parents aren't the people who made you with their bodies, but the people who raised you. Th…
