1. Nothing is eternal (Farsi)
2. No one’s candle is lit till dawn (Serbian)
3. No evil shall last a hundred years (Spanish)
4. All snowstorms eventually subside (Icelandic)
5. Everything has an end, except the sausage, which has two (German)

Well, I love this.
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

We started making sure we have alt text in images, right? For the partially-sighted or blind. That was a big discourse last year. Can we now also normalise tagging heinous shit so that text filters can catch it? By 'heinous shit', I mean literally anything about the US's ridiculous politics.

A THREAD. Which I have decided to call 'Reasons Why Owls Are Excellent'.
1. They are always putting the needs of others before their own.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
