no, it’s fine! once the baby squirrels start arriving everything gets super busy and you never feel like you’re getting anything done

oh you’re only allowed to deal with bats (and some other animals) if you’ve been vaccinated

I sincerely believe that in order to keep this here social network viable, we have to also share our silly little guys. 3/5 of the way through painting the Gobbapalooza.

What are you working on?

A frame from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (1993).
About 3/4 of a dozen young school girls are in front of a barred fence, smiling. They are looking at the small dinosaur-esque Baby Godzilla in the foreground, facing away from the camera.
The caption reads, "Isn't he lovely?"
They are, of course, 110% correct.

Not pictured: Godzilla; Mechagodzilla; Baby's lovely face (because he's turned away)

love it when an animal sees “moving thing smaller than me” and goes directly to “EAT IT”

i already had three of a different species of tree frog (i’d had them for idk five years by then). my friends gave me a box on my birthday. “it’s a tree frog. no like literally,” as i opened the box and he tried to leap out

the name egregore dredges up a memory: i used to have a pet tree frog named egogre zpleo, which was from one of those pre-movie celebrity scrambles (george lopez)

then i pranked him to death with a tire iron.. also a thing we still say

we still say “she won’t answer, she’s a bobcat” and “i’m not good with numbers, maybe 80?” all the time

“bobcat” has actually become shorthand in our house for when kid was giving us the silent treatment

Time once again to share the little lesson from my Local Media class (drawing on the work of myriad other scholars!) about how this happened — and why it doesn’t have to be like this. The post office could + should be a vital institution for public connection — from postal mail to internet access

why is it that the only people who comment on news articles are wacky far-right conspiracy theorists (and my brother trolling them)
