This made me feel better than my antidepressant.
lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism
after dark, it felt like anything could happen…
I had no idea for some reason that starlings mimicked sounds, and I was outside trying to take down the christmas lights when I heard, in quick succession: grackles, a bobwhite, robins, several red-tailed hawk cries in quick succession, and at least ten other birds, followed by meowing.
I look and in the neighbor's tree there are six starlings doing rapid-fire imitations of Every Bird. They were good, too.
Now I wonder how many times I've heard a bird and it was just a starling.
Any one of you could be a starling...

“It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years. […] And there were houses, that breathed. They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly, very nearly, human.” ― Nora Roberts, Key of Knowledge

Chawton House Library, Chawton, Hampshire. The house was the home of Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen Knight. The library contains the private collection of the Knight family, which was used by Austen, and a collection of early women’s writing (1600-1830), including works by Aphra Behn, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The manuscript in the picture is of Jane Austen’s play Sir Charles Grandison (c. 1800), which parodied the Samuel Richardson novel. The library’s website provides access to a large number of full-text transcripts of rare late 18th-early 19th century novels.

actually the most significant difference between fanfiction and Serious Literature is by and large the latter is written by people whose life circumstances aligned such that they had at least the bare minimum of time and energy needed to write a novel, whereas fic authors will upload an equivalent amount of words in a single chapter update between the ceremony and reception on their wedding day because an earthquake hit and they “had some free time” while the search and rescue team was digging them out of the collapsed church

Are you alright? I hardly know.

my family was just forced to vote at gunpoint in russian cosplay of a “referendum” in southern ukraine:
- they come to your house
- you have to openly tick the box for being annexed by russia (or for staying with ukraine if you feel suicidal)
- all while armed gunmen watch you
