We said we would take a break caring for rodents after our last gerbs…but we saw 2 gerbils for adoption at the local rescue shelter
Despite all our efforts we couldnt resist so here we go again! We build a few platforms with leftover wood, set up the cage, and everything is ready to welcome them!

🐭PSA for no reason whatsoever: if you're ever talking about a trans person you knew before they became trans, their new name and pronouns retroactively get applied to back then too. it's very disrespectful to call them by their dead name, even if that's how you knew them back then

As someone who loves picross games, Squeakross is the best one I've ever played. There's loads of puzzles and controls and features are great for experts and for beginners alike, and absolutely no microstransction slop. If you have the vaguest interest in picross I'd highly suggest picking it up

I saw a tiktok years ago explaining how fruits/veggies nets are colored to trick your eyes to make the fruits appear more saturated and ripe, and ive been thinking about it ever since
(Ex: orange fruit/red net, make them look more orange)

It's nice that you can use your Switch 1 controllers on the Switch 2, but I swear to god, it's just a bullshit ruse from Nintendo that you CANNOT wake your console up with the old controllers. They clearly want to annoy you after a while and force you to buy the Pro Controller 2.
