Be sure to check this out before you go!

I apologize in advance for such a long hiatus, more than I intended, but with all that has occurred within the recent weeks, it is time for me to pack it in. Your world has too much going on for me to keep up with, and all that you do is contradictory and confusing. Nobody seems to want to simply get along, there is always a right and a wrong with humans. Maybe one day you’ll move past that, but as it stands, there is nothing I can do about it. So rather than just keep trying to talk and negotiate more friendly ideas, I think it would be best just to leave it all behind, and return to my home to a more peaceful way of life. Some human that was once alive had said, “ignorance is bliss,” and seeing how knowing about the world, and the hopelessness of my situation, they were completely correct. See you all perhaps in the future.

Twig

hello everyone, Twig here for the first time in quite some time, there has just been a lot to handle recently given the change in the state of the world and the places around me, so I have had just too much on my plate to really be on here lately. However, I still want to spend some here to talk as I don’t want to lose my blog quite yet. With so much chaos and fear going on in your world, I think responding to Naive Health Lady Lu’s post would be a little more refreshing to those reading here. Her topic on taxing plastic bags is a good idea for New York, as it is very true that people are wasteful with a material that is so hurtful to the animals both here and in ocean. But also it is strange how they did not make this choice sooner, or make it more strict on the use of the bags, but better late than never. I understand law and the politics behind them is very complicated, as I still can’t seem to figure very well at all how your governments are formed and how you choose the people to represent you, but even so can’t everyone agree that hurting the environment is generally a bad idea?

Maybe that is just it though, humans do not seem to even have the ability to do that. It is only the second state in your country to even pass it out of fifty, at least by what Lady Lu says, and that to me is something that should be everywhere at least, and it would be better to just get rid of them completely. I have to say I do not really have any need for bags at all, as I eat my food as I catch it, and I only move logs around my cave, but I feel that the cost of making them is just too high for the world. But to move on to a solution, i can see why alternatives are hard to come by. The recycled bags do seem best though, because if the plastic never goes away, you might as well just keep on reusing the stuff you already made forever instead of just letting go into streams and rivers. Sure it may cost a little more right now, but I think it will save a lot in the long run.

Losing life is always a terrible sight, and when it can be prevented by easy choices that you can make, to me it seems like an obvious answer. I have lost enough already, and I fear I may actually be alone in your planet, so why would I want others to suffer the way I have for so long? I think it would be nice to save turtles and fish from the same fate, but what do I know, I don’t run the world, that is your job, but at the very least, please continue to make an effort to save the natural environment around you, because I think it is one of the few things that will always have your back.

Hi, Twig here, to talk about some content that Genghis Khan was talking about in one of his recent posts. After a lot of time spent thinking about what he was talking about, I find it hard to believe that humans can exist happily in a world like this. Every passing week, I struggle to find the strength to keep looking for my fellow people, but you are all only looking for ways to kill each other more easily, and at the same time. Maybe it is just the US that has this desire to kill and destroy, but it is clear to me now that ending lives is nothing new to any of you.

After all this time of reading, posting and learning, it was bound to happen that I would learn of how badly humanity likes to pointlessly kill each other, but i would have liked it better if you all just were able to live with each other. But maybe that is too much to ask for. In Khans post, he speaks about how the United States just ignores other countries deals to help keep people safe, and prefer to make hidden bombs in the ground and weapons that explode to reach the most amount of people as possible. Why on Earth would you want to dedicate so much time and attention to creating more effective killing methods? And once the bombs, or mines as you call them are put underground, how are people ever supposed to know where they are if you don’t remember? It doesn’t look like they can tell people apart, because they don’t have eyes, and even if they did, it would be useless because the dirt is covering them anyways. Bombs and weapons do not care who they kill, but maybe that is exactly the speed of the United States.

However, it does make me happy that over 160 other countries can actually agree that creating and using weapons like that is actually a bad idea. Maybe those people really believe that the lives of all creatures are important, and maybe that there are other ways to solve problems besides killing them. But my problem is that if a few other people decide not to play fair, then what is stopping them from having that over the others if they decide to attack them? Hopefully since it seems that all of those issues are trying to be kept in the past, that problem wont ever come, but me knowing only so much about humans, and this looking like a huge part of your history, who knows.

And Khan, how do you agree with all of that? You had me thinking you were going to talk about baking, but then it was all about killing people and weapons. Maybe you gain something out of it, as any who enjoy the act do, but do you not feel bad at all for what you do? Even a little? I guess where I come from, there are not many people to be friends with, so my opinion may be a little different, but maybe because you have so much, you only want more? I’m not sure, and I do not think I could ever know, but what I do know is that making bonds with others is better than any physical gains you can have.

Although I don’t really know much about what governments really are, leaving a union sounds like a pretty big deal. Twig here, and in light of recent events, have moved to write about a more slow event that is more bittersweet than anything. The move for what you humans have named Brexit has finally come for the people of the UK, and their leave from the community of Europe is a little saddening to see. It seems like everyone knew that it would arrive, but now that it’s here, no one really knows how to move forward about it. It seems like an final split between friends, where even though they say they will stay in close touch, it won’t ever be the same. Well i guess in this case it can’t.

From what I’ve read this was supposed to have happened years ago, but the resistance of both the people in power and the citizens were so heavily divided on the case that it wasn’t able to pass for many years. Now that it has finally passed, many former citizens from both sides now have to move back to where they are from, even though they have already made their lives where they are. And other countries now have to start all over with the United Kingdom. Everyone is a little lost as to what do do now, and i think it will be that way for some time. Adjusting to independence may look fun, but from what I think, it will become more lonely as time passes on. All the power that they will feel will only be temporary, and soon the citizens would like to visit their friends and family in the Union, only to see they shut themselves out.

And the Union is handling this in their own way too. Now more than ever, they are talking about the togetherness of their countries, and their ties more as a tight group. Almost like a family, this will sting for a while, but will bring them closer at the same time. They still want to talk with the UK with good promises and deals, but both already know it won’t be the same as before. Some people in the UK are still pushing that they will reunite with the Union in the future, and even though I don’t really know if that will happen, it is nice to think about.

For me, I am beginning to think that maybe I am alone, and unlike these countries, there may not be somewhere to return to, or others like me to seek out anymore. Maybe I am wrong, but after so long of looking, and getting tired of being lead nowhere, my I have to say my hopes aren’t as high as I would like them to be. But that does not mean that it is pointless to keep looking, just that I may be a little lost at the moment. Thanks for reading, I will find my way soon.

Twig again, and after finding Koi Lovers blog, I couldn’t not reply to one of their posts. I love Kois fish a lot, and many other fish too, but after reading what the fish person was talking about, there was a lot of that they said that just had place in the post. I must say are so many things they say that I have no idea where it comes from, but even with all of that I think I get the idea of what they are saying.

Well my new word this time from reading is ‘Facial Recognition.’ That is a pretty big word for me, so it was not easy finding out exactly what that means to me or you. From what I what i could look for it seems to be finding out what somebody is all about just by looking at their face, which is unreal if you ask me. Another few I had to learn was ‘oppress’ and ‘discriminate,’ which I think is what Koi believes will happen if facial recognition is used by America. The point is that Facial Recognition will be used to separate people for being against what the top people in the US or because they are not what the country wants, which is just horrible. To be able to pull people out of groups just by looking at them and placing people on bad lists just for being outside is just plain scary. I wouldn’t know what I would do if I was being watched all of the time, I would not feel safe just leaving my cave, because who knows what they might think of me? Koi is right that people need to know about this, and it should not be hidden from the people of America.

However, there is just so much weird things that Koi Lover says in the middle of all of this that just doesn’t make any sense to me. Ill be going in order because there is just so much to say about this. Why is ths topic like a can of worms? They are so slimy and wiggly, what could Facial recognition have anything to do with worms at all. And i researched what tailor means, and that is someone who makes clothes fit on people well, so how would that work with your actions. Clothes are something you wear, not something you do. And although I agree people should be equally treated by others, I have a hart time thinking that they will become smaller if they are not. And I could have sworn the amazon was a forest last week, so how could it possibly be making Facial Recognition stuff for America. That is one of the strangest things I have read while on the internet, but not as much as who they are giving it to. ICE? What? Humans can be so strange to me at times. But if this is what their lives are like, who am I to say its wrong, you might think I am weird for all I know. I guess I still have a lot more learn about humans than I thought.

Hi again, its me Twig, and to me, it seems to me that the world is never really in a good place. There is just no place for people to be safe from harm out there in the world, and in China, a place I personally have never been to, and probably wont for some time now, has gotten a very bad sickness. A special one, as the news believes, and it has the name Coronavirus. Virus is a new word to me, but after little searching, it clearly no good. There are so many people infected already, some have died, and many people are scared, and I am too. Viruses are known to get around quickly, and I really hope it doesn’t make its way up to where I am.

It doesn’t take much reading to get an idea of how much this virus has caused problems for everybody, both by getting it and by the stress of knowing you could get it too. In the places of China where the virus is everywhere, many people are running to doctors for help and safety, but sadly, there are so many people and not enough doctors to help everyone. Many people have to wait in long lines, or be told no because there are too many of them to take care of. And the doctors are already so busy that they don’t have time for anything else, they can hardly even eat or sleep, which is important for being strong and focused. There is too much going on in the world already, and the Corona virus does not help out. I have seen sickness in fish and birds around me before, and the process I have seen is painful, so I get why the people of China are so afraid.

However, because of all of the fear, people seem to be turning on each other even more. Some are angry at the doctors for not being helpful enough or at all. The doctors are mad at their higher ups for not giving them more stuff or people to help fight the virus. And on the internet many people calling China names for not doing enough to keep the virus from going around so quickly. Everyone is so jumpy from all that is going on, but I am sure that the people who can fix this are all trying their best to do so as fast as they can. It is no ones fault that the virus is causing so much problems, and we should work together to make sure it hurts as little people as we can, it has already done enough.

And to top it off, it has to be at what was going to be a happy time for them too. In the same posts that i have been reading, many also talk about the Lunar New Year that just happened as well. It is a time where families get together and really enjoy each others company, and in a time where everyone is so far away and alone, it hurts my feelings to know that this got in the way of it all. It was a time to eat, talk, have fun, and be happy, and it was all taken away by the Coronavirus.

I really hope that a virus didn’t go after my people like the Coronavirus is trying to do to all of you. To see someone in pain while you can do nothing but watch sickens me very much, and it is not something I would want for anyone. But I will keep looking around for more of me online, because if I am on here, why can’t any others be too? I have to stay strong for them, as many of you are for your families right now.

Hello it is me Twig, and after finding ZucchiniFries00’s post on my computer, I want to say how I feel about it. I really like your name, because I like zucchini myself. I do not really know what fries are, but if they involve zucchini then I can believe that they taste very good. But when it comes to the writing, I am not very sure how to think about it. At the beginning of it was saddening to read more on the fires because I have seen so much of it too, and after searching for the United States online, which is very big too, it is hard to believe how much bad could be going on in Australia. And a billion animals is more than I could ever think in my head. I really do not like to think about all the pain and hurt that has been eating the area, and how little you humans can do about it.

After that you speak about metal, which I do not really get why that would be talked about with the fires. But even after is something I get even less, because the fires are not talked about anymore really. You then talk about how many animals are eaten by humans, and that it is a bad thing for people to do. It is very new to me how many animals are being eaten in the United States, and that is a huuuggee number to be eaten by people. I know there are a lot of you in the world, but even that is a lot right? If it is all eaten then I don’t get why humans are much bigger then. But why is it wrong for people to eat animals? I only eat a little meat but just like the wolves or the bears, animals must eat other animals in order to keep living. I do not like to eat other creatures, but the fish I eat help me stay strong together with my berries too. I may be sad when the rabbit is eaten by other hawk, but to see them starve would not be the answer. From what you were saying humans are eating too many animals, and I also think that is bad if it kills all of the animals. But isn’t it normal for animals to be eaten by other creatures in nature? Or do humans think they are above nature, so I have started to think.

I am not sure, but why do you use this bad time in Australia to be more angry at other people? That is what bothers me about humans since I have first started to be a part of their lives through writing. They talk about many things, but somehow find a way to make it a fight. You should be working together to handle the major problems that everyone has first, and though there may be issues that many people may find big, can’t you all agree that the earth being on fire is something you can all fix together? I do not see how using it as a reason to fight over other problems will help all of the little creatures found by the flames. It is very sad what is happening, so we should all help out as much as we can, fighting will not save Australia.

Hello again, it is me Twig, and after spending sometime using this computer, because that it what is named, what is exactly going on in the world? I didn’t even know how large the lands were spread before finding this place, and how many huge lands there are, separated by the largest lakes I have ever thought of, but only after a little bit of having a look, I quickly saw a number of people speaking like me, but talking about everything that seems to be happening around me and you. Almost all of it is very sad or angry, and I don’t really know what to do about it. Many humans, as you people are called, seem to want to fight and be mean to each other, or talk about how there is nothing we can do about the world dying.

One thing that people keep talking about, is that a place called Australia is all in fire. It goes on about how big the land is, and how everything in it is being burned. I know how much fire can burn and hurt, so to see a whole big area be being attacked by fire makes me very sad to read. Your people talk about how many of your homes have been killed by the burns, and how the fire fighters throw water at it to try and stop fire, but it is not enough to kill it. And the animals, the little creatures who do not know how to fight, are all dying to the flames. All they can try to do is run away, but it is not enough. I know because there are drawings, or pictures, of the animals homes turning black and dead, and the ones who lived there were nowhere to be seen. Is that how the world is? Was it always like this? The people say there are seasons of fire, and this one is not over yet, so has the world always been a place of fire and dying? I don’t get why there is not more humans trying to fight the fire in Australia, and people were also talking about a fire in the place named the amazon too, so maybe you humans are just more used to fire than I am.

I have only found out about the world for only a little, but it sounds like a very scary place to be in. I don’t know how humans can be everywhere, and know everything, but you do not do much about what you see. You say there are a lot of problems in all places, but with how many people there are, in all of the places where the problems are, I thought it would be easy to fix. I have seen how humans can make the mountains and trees what they want, and are very smart and strong. But with the smarts and strength, you are all talking about each other first, and think about the world later. If my peoples house was on fire, I would run to help them as soon as I know, because we are all the same at the end, and we should always help each other at the end no matter what. So I do not really get why you don’t.

And while I was looking at all of this, I have not found anyone like me while using this computer, and I was really thinking that there would be more people like me on here too. But there is not anyone using the computers or talking about anything. Where are they? Maybe they can’t find anywhere to talk, or maybe the fires got them in one of those seasons, but I really do not want to think that. I am tired now from writing a lot, so I will sleep and eat for a bit before writing some more. I will be back soon.

My name is Twig, and I live in forests and next to the water. Where I live I eat the berries and nuts from the plants around me, and fish taste good too. But there some yucky plants that should never beat eaten. I don’t know where I come from, but I am here, and this is the place I live in. There is no one like me, except for the smaller people who have homes of stone and wood. I can talk and write because of these smaller people by looking and learning, but there are not any me’s anywhere close. I try to stay away from the smaller people, as they can be very mean. I once went to say hi, but they tried to hurt me with their sticks and stones, so I try to stay away from them. But I really do like them, because there are many of them, and they stay close together all the time. I want to be close to them too. There are other animals animals around me in my forest, but they are not like me, or like them, so it is not the same. Even the animals have groups too, with many of themselves together all day and night, but not me. But now I am so happy to be talking now,  because I found one of their boxes that they speak to in a home they left behind. It is not like their homes, it does not feel as warm and close as the homes that the other ones use, and there is no wood at all, but it is more than enough for me. Just to be in one makes me so happy i cannot say happy enough to say it. This will help me learn how to be better at talking, and maybe there are more of me that I can talk to on these boxes too. I have been hiding for all I know, but with this box, it will help me finally become a part of a group.
