Katydids just do that for some reason. I just brush them away with a piece of paper if I want them to move along

Awww when I got my Tui she was a grown-up lady dog, so I always love/get a little jealous of puppy pics (though I am eternally grateful I didn't have to potty train her.)

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.

One of the great joys of pet ownership is the silly little songs you sing them. It's one of the few occasions left where people don't feel self-conscious expressing what is in their heart in song.

I was telling my therapist about Problem Items today. The items that prevent me from doing a thing (or anything) simply by virtue of existing in the wrong place at the wrong time in my house

When I finally manage to move them, mental health problems fixed

Til the next Problem Item

Lincoln sheep have very long, lustrous locks! It's actually tight waves or curls, not braids.

Also, even if it is a mom and pop owner, they're almost certainly running things through a management company that will happily force you to deal with mountains of bullshit

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah 🐸 McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 13d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
