Things everybody needs to hear more often:

- you are loved
- your feelings are valid
- you deserve rest
- you don't need to be available at all times
- that's not a raven, that's a crow
- it's okay. a crow is a pretty big and cool bird, too

"There is no consistent distinction between crows and ravens"

ONE IS PART OF THE OTHER

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow

Corvus is latin for raven and means all birds of the genus corvus. Crow is a synonym for corvus. And raven is generally used for big crows.

Stop pretending they're even a thing! It's all the same!

@flaubau @schratze @sparks

this still confuses me (and my name is Raven lmao)

i thought they were different, but this is saying they are categorizations of specific species?

@sparklepanic @flaubau @sparks there are several species named something raven and several species named something crow. They're all in the Corvus genus though.
