you know people say being a meatmancer is not a real job. but who do you think makes the hamburger and chicken thigh do their sultry little dance when theres a sale at the grocery store?

the damn necromancers are back in the meat aisle. the sausages and pork chops are flopping around everywhere doing their evil biddings

one time in trader joes I saw a deathknight wither a nectarine to straight up mildew and ash in their hands and then put it right back on the display

stop apologizing for going off on long tangents or rambling in the group chats and discords. that is self-defeating language and it associates guilt with being excited or whatever. instead you should frame it as "so uh anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk on my pokemon oc's relationship to ethics and science whoops". it's funny it keeps the mood light it makes it easier to continue a conversation without the whole feeling of "do i tell them no its okay? like do i need to reassure them???" etc

My newest photography obsession is getting photos of Tofu grooming! I don't know why but these sorts of photos are so neat to me - I love seeing her caught mid-motion, grooming itself is always so fast so its neat to break down the routine they go through each time. Anyways I'm still working on getting clear shots of each grooming motion, but I'm quite happy how these ones came out as well!

a fun fact about springhares: they glow pink under UV light! scientists speculate it's possible predators may be UV-sensitive, but also contend it could be a big evolutionary accident.

Another such rodent that glows for some??? reason is the Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans)

PLEASE READ!!! I DON'T POST STUFF LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SERIOUS TO ME! ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WASTE WATER INTO THE LAGUNA MADRE IN SOUTH TEXAS!!!

The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!

(Black Skimmer with chicks shown here)

If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.

(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!

(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

Anyway, I'd like to remind everyone that genocide is still being committed in Gaza, not just with guns and bombs but with disease and starvation.

Please take a moment to support humanitarian efforts there:

Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If you’re a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.

the rosy-patched bushshrike is a passerine bird found in a wide range throughout africa. they prefer subtropical to tropical dry scrubland habitats. their coloration differs throughout their range, though all members of the species display some bright red coloration. they primarily hunt insects for food, but also feed on berries, fruits, and small rodents and reptiles.

I love this scene!

I love how Reigen is clearly being all big-brotherly behind the scenes, mentoring Mob on how to be a good guy. And I love how Tsuchiya is presented, as a woman, as a worthy match for the male protagonist and strong enough to want a fair fight with him.

I’m really in love with this series!

Bonus:

The actual quote from the manga is even better:  “…you’re a gentleman, but that’s an insult. I am looking for a fair fight with you. Besides, I’m the adult here beating down on a kid. SO we’re even. There’s no way I’d lose anyway. Just give it your best shot.”

She’s being all big-sisterly to her opponent while at the same time telling him she’s a badass, so don’t underestimate her because she’s also a lady. Love. It.

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

Animal of the Day!

Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine (Atherurus macrourus)

(Photo in public domain)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Southern Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 80 cm

Diet- Leaves; Bark; Fruits; Flowers; Roots; Nuts; Seeds

Cool Facts- The Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine loves the tropics, sticking to bamboo and palm forests. They find themselves at home in thick underbrush where burrows keep them safe. Multiple Asiatic brush-tailed porcupines can end up living in the same burrow system, working together to defend their home from predators. They are generally nocturnal and spend only a few hours each night outside of their burrow. When encountering a predator, these porcupines can run as fast backwards as they can forwards. This results in a leopard or human being embedded with hundreds of quills.

Rating- 12/10 (The rarest porcupines of South Asia.)
