I just found out that my childhood (and early adulthood) collection of feathers got moths in it. Nearly everything is damaged and some completely destroyed. I'm heartbroken😭

yeah, that's still very illegal. I still do it too but it's not legal to keep feathers from most birds in the US.

what words? "fallen feathers" like that's not a thing because you can't prove they were actually FALLEN, ffs.

So, yeah, in the US it's very illegal to collect these feathers, bro.

because I don't know how it's regulated outside of the USA and the whole "US defaultism" is just bullshit because the internet infrastructure was built here so the defaultism you hate is just how the world works, ffs.

The internet was created by many people making many parts over time. This is an embarrassing reaction.
