A couple of years ago, I read Carson Vaughan’s “Zoo Nebraska” about the disaster at my childhood zoo, and realized *how much worse* it could have been. Chimps escaped, running around town, had trapped some people in a trailer.
The real takeaway from "I could take a bear/gorilla" discourse online is that Hollywood and pop culture have led to way too many people either forgetting or never learning just how terrifying chimpanzees are

Something about wandering around in shorts in the latter half of November feels deeply midwestern.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

I keep mulling over @corsent.bsky.social‘s most recent newsletter, and the question that keeps rolling around is: What even *is* family? Is it the people who adopted me but prioritize their political beliefs and white saviorism? Or the people who I share genetics with but not history or culture?
