still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

The Hare She Led On

THE HARE SHE WENT ON
Stella Sacco
I sat down to write something like
"I would have begged
If you had just asked me to.
But you didn't."

Three lines!
That would've hit.
People love those pithy little poems
And my stuff runs a little long (Or so every editor I've ever had
Has told me with some exasperation).

But.
Thing is.
I don't think I actually would've begged
Even if you had asked me.
I don't think I would've,
Like,
Rolled around in my own piss and shit for you
Like a fucking dog.

In our ancestral seat
There was a famous greyhound,
Master of the racetrack,
Who even impressed the Queen.
And after he died
They discovered his heart
Was twice as big as it should've been.

I know I have his big stupid simple heart, Two sizes too big,
Worked to death,
Aching to please and be pleased,
But my knees are all mine
And they just ache.

Dad would say
"If you have to ask the price
Then you can't afford it."
I'd say,
"If you get asked to beg,
Then the price is just too high."

But still.
You could have asked.

outside wolf

A scanned image of a sketchpage. The early life cycle of a wolf is depicted in drawings and text: "Take a wolf." [a quadrupedal wolf.] "Make him bipedal." [He is standing on two plantigrade legs.] "Dress him in clothes from the department store." [He wears pants and a rugby shirt, one leg propped up on a small box.] "Give him a 20 year long interdisciplinary education." [He is seen as a high school math student, looking at a wall clock while using a graphing calculator. As a college student, timing the movement of a film development can. As a graduate student, looking at mortarboards being tossed in the air.] "He is now ready to go outside!" [He is once again on all fours, albeit still in bidepal form, wearing kneepads and a harness which reads "MASTER'S DEGREE- OK TO PET."

Two anthropomorphic canines, identical in appearance with matching glasses. suits, and hairstyles, flank a "Reception" sign at a desk. A handmade sign hastily taped below them reads "YES WE HAVE SEEN JODOROWSKY'S 'THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.' NO WE WILL NOT POSE FOR PHOTOGRAPHS"

It’s glaringly obvious when someone has used eBay’s stupid AI thing to fill in their item description. Just tell me if there any scratches on the disc, mate.
