“It is common for koalas to roam back to their home range afterwards and become confused to find nothing there. A worker noticed a koala had been sitting stationary in broad daylight on top of wood piles for over an hour.”

:’(((((
We have to stop cutting away there homes, what if your neighbor came and demolished your house and you were sitting there on your lawn like this. :(
That’s the story for most of the species in the world today. Don’t just look. Do something. Everybody’s got the power to make change and even the tiniest efforts produce results. Start a Change.org petition, refuse to buy from companies that destroy habitat, help educate other people so that they understand the issue and know their options and choices, boycott brands and businesses, petition governments, fight for causes, consume less, be an advocate. Apathy is the sole cause when change doesn’t happen because everything wrong in the world is 100% preventable and fixable initially. Most people will step up to help or do something if someone is showing them where and how. It takes someone to do something about it. Make the noise. <3

You don’t need a party to get down on some guacamole. Put it on a salad, taco, tostada, sandwich, whatever you want. Eat it with your hands. I don’t give a flying fuck. SNACK LIFE.
GRAPEFRUIT GUACAMOLE
5 ripe avocados
2 medium grapefruits or 1 big son of a bitch
¼ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup chopped red onion
juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
¼ teaspoon salt
Take the pit out of the avocados and scoop out all the green flesh into a large bowl. Mash it up with fork. I like my guacamole chunky but do what you gotta do. Cut the grapefruit up into segments like you would cut an orange. Remove the peel and cut the segments into pieces about the size of a nickel. Put all the grapefruit into the bowl with the avocado. Add the cilantro, red onion, lime juice, and salt and mix it all up. Taste it and add more shit until you like it. Serve immediately or chill it for a bit. I’m not gonna tell you how to eat guacamole, just follow your fucking heart.
