Happy World Octopus Day! This is Wilberforce. This squeaky rubber octopus, a gift from one of my best friends in high-school, attended exams with me for years as an Emotional Support Octopus. Wilberforce may, or may not, be responsible for... everything.

Happy World Octopus Day! One of my most used piece of octopus attire (yes I have a collection) is actually this little very cheap backpack. It folds small and travels really well, is water resistant, and takes books. I use it constantly at events. No idea where I got it.
