The "actual clowns" are ICE. It took me a second!

It's Wednesday. You need some eels in your life, right? And some otters?

Here you go!

A scene of otters & eels, from an early 15th C. copy of Gaston Phoebus's Livre de la chasse. Eel blood is toxic to mammals, but otters don't care. They love them some eels.

Can you blame them?
A medieval painting of otters playing in a pool, chasing and catching eels and other fish. There are 10 adult otters, and what look to be 2 younger otters in a den at the base of a tree. They are all doing serious otter things: playing, eating, cavorting, eating, gamboling, eating, swimming, and eating. They are having a good time. For now.

It can't last, though. This pond seems way too small to support all of these otters, and the painting has a border around it. They can't leave, and soon they will turn on each other in a bloodbath that will make the Donner Party look like a tea time at the Rotary Club. If you check back with these otters in two weeks, I suspect you'll find only carnage.

That, though, is a problem for Future Otters. Today's otters are carefree, with spotless souls.

💜 Running into Shep again after about 25 years is one of the highlights for me!

I'm a mess this morning. Ehhhh, more boring than a mess. Just not interested in anything and unable to sleep more yet.

Should I do the free trial of Crunchyroll? Or maybe watch a mystery series on Kanopy.

Breakfast. Meds. Ugh.

Marry-me bloodbath! 😄

I kinda wish I knew more people my niece's age (23). I'd like to know if they have any strong preferences. I personally don't get why Gavin Newsom keeps coming up and not AOC, who actually seems to inspire people. I would SO much more happily vote for her.

Okay, I looked at your bio and I think I can remember who you are! 😄

The NIU School of Music actually put up a video recently! Here's a short (6 min) gentle piece from a recent Wind Ensemble concert.

Haha! Hmmm, those buttons always do seem rather vulnerable. I suppose I'd want to protect mine, too.

He needs a button in the middle there somewhere! 🤎

My ass isn't that cushiony, either! I don't know how people 5 feet tall manage.

The cardiology waiting room has several special tall-person chairs now. That's pretty nice.

Okay. NOW I can have coffee.
kerendith.bsky.social
All good at cardiology. 👍🏼

I knew I could swing my feet like a 5-year-old in the waiting room chairs, but I had entirely forgotten how awkward it is when you can do that on a toilet.

I'm 5' 3"! Wait, I forgot the centimeters. 160. I'm not that short!
