Can people please pretend to have a shred of decency and respect and not climb the cherry blossom trees at UW or tell their kids to not climb the cherry blossom trees or NOT VIGOROUSLY SHAKE THE BRANCHES TO HAVE THE BLOSSOMS FALL ON YOU SO YOU CAN HAVE A CUTE INSTAGRAM MOMENT???
It’s so disrespectful and damages the trees. There are signs all over asking people to please not shake the trees, to protect them. We can appreciate their beauty and take pictures without damaging them. Please. Where’s the Lorax when you need him?

Too unique of a situation to be a good IA.
Boring, but fair comment.
so Where’s
the ai Vids showing
turkey vultures schwooping
outta the skies upon sighting a
blossoming, quivering cherry tree
and plucking an unsuspecting child
much to the Delight of tic-tok viewers
yet Anathema to the startled parents. perhaps
the Notoriety*
will’ve been
worth it?
*$$$!
@1 Only you would think of someone simply asking people to be respectful of nature as a unique situation.
Shaking trees is in our Ape nature.
Don’t make me tap the sign.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world, said Mahatma Gandhi.
That means: when you see something, you get Lorax duty to speak out.
I know damn well, I do it when faced with it. Usually, I engage parents
first, I never have to go beyond a lightly raised voice, but am prepared
to engage the blood curdling screech, if necessary.
Do the job, if no one else is doing the job. Damn!
it takes a
Village.
