If you can’t teach them empathy, teach them consequences.

generally, raccoons prefer not to eat trash and are not that interested in breaking the law so much as living their lives and having fun

Daily bunny no.3094 has been caught red-handed

A bunny helps two raccoons drag a trashbag away. The bunny has a black mask, like an old-timey burglar in a film. It is the dead of night on a grimy city street. A light shines on the three of them, from a flashlight or spotlight, surprising them all. The bunny and raccoon put their hands up: They've been caught!

I am absolutely serious: it’s horrifically unfair to compare billionaires (evil) with impoverished people (not evil).

Don't give up on your dreams.
If you wish to chase curious townsfolk away from the ragged edge of the forest with the dark grandeur of your shambling form, I know you can do it.
I believe in you.

Why aren’t you feeding him? :( Cannibal cryptids need to eat, too.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I don't think most people understand what we're facing. Not really.

Sometimes a user will post a joke and then that very same user will post something sincere. And I as the reader am expected to understand this, using my brain?

Badass combo, right? Bad Religion is awesome live!

We should hang out and do music stuff someday. Trains from Toronto to Pittsburgh are pretty affordable.

Signal boost. Also, @pj-richards.bsky.social has a captive-bred owl named Pyewackett.* She’s adorable. 💚 (See pic below.)

*Don’t even think about it. MAJOR commitment.

Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, movie theaters, spooky cemeteries, and mossy forests.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

Are any other #Offspring fans here right now?

They're coming back to Canada in 2026. THANK FUCKING GOD. ❤️

I had tickets for July 23rd, but a medical crisis fucked up my plans.

I need my fix. February can't arrive soon enough.

These beauties will soon be heading off for their winter slumber. Hope to see a few more before the year is over. #wildlife #bears

*jaw drop*

*monumental envy*

Pyewackett is ADORABLE. And now I’m reading “Pyewacket (familiar spirit)” on Wikipedia. Her name immediately struck me as folkloric.

I did wildlife rehab for a few years. Wild birds are… intense. Does she enjoy human interaction, or is she more like “don’t touch me”?
