I like bugs and working with animals. Sometimes I remember that I can draw and paint.

All the postural advice I got growing up was useless. It wasn’t wrong, it was just useless to me, who had serious untreated musculoskeletal injuries and couldn’t sit or move properly if I tried.

My taking “don’t make fun of people for their appearances” very seriously for the past few years has been great for me as a person. However, with all of the Ed Sheeran news, it’s been very difficult to be me and have to live with all of my Inside Thoughts.

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

This is actually pretty cool. I know a handful of cats who were saved via this black market treatment, and several vets who assisted in the more intensive parts of it. Wild that FIP used to just destroy cats with no cure, and now we have survivors for the first time in history.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

Got a 45-minute nap for my birthday and now when I catch a glimpse of my reflection I don’t feel the same emotion I have in the instant that I behead a game bird. That’s a good thing, probably!

Went for a walk with a baby and found an unmarked park. Stopped to rest, and then somebody nearby started playing bagpipes.

I’m reading an entomology text book and I keep having moments where I’m like “This is so DENSE I’m too STUPID TO READ THIS” and then my friend asks about the locust borers she found in her yard and I tell her about their disparate feeding habits at different life stages.

I enjoyed the Avatar Aang movie! It wasn’t a flawless story, but it was a well-fitted installment. Tried some new things, and managed some great nods to the fan subculture without derailing anything. It’s nice to see something done well in this IP for the first time in… a while.

I can’t touch the wet food in the sink drain, but what I CAN do is sit with the raw gonads from two different birds in my hand and wonder why one’s were like 1/4 the size of the other’s.

Listen to this king at a Huntington City Council meeting on Flock Cameras:

"I'm not gonna waste your time, I'm kinda hungry, but one last thing. Every single Flock camera has about 2-3 lbs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold. Do with that information what you will."

We’re coming up on 6 months, and my baby hasn’t rolled yet, and is barely sitting up on his own. I’m choosing to believe this is because he’s built like a Dachshund.

My 5-month old is only just starting thinking about attempting to roll over, and I can’t blame him for taking his time doing it when he’s growing so fast that he’s wearing clothing that’s intended for children who have their first words.

The worst thing about breastfeeding, for me, is suddenly having to live with boobs. My entire wardrobe is built around me being shaped like a sickly pear (one without tits) and I have to either get new shirts that allow for boobs, or just live with my existing shirts being very tight up top.

I love this poem
Ode To The Maggot
By Yusef Komunyakaa


Brother of the blowfly
And godhead, you work magic
Over battlefields,
In slabs of bad pork

And flophouses. Yes, you
Go to the root of all things.
You are sound & mathematical.
Jesus, Christ, you're merciless

With the truth. Ontological & lustrous,
You cast spells on beggars & kings
Behind the stone door of Caesar's tomb
Or split trench in a field of ragweed.

No decree or creed can outlaw you
As you take every living thing apart. Little
Master of earth, no one gets to heaven
Without going through you first.

Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
A joyful anniversary today, because it’s 31 years since Kees Moeliker witnessed “the first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard” when a duck flew into the glass wall of his museum, dying instantly. Violent death, however (as you may have surmised) was not the final indignity visited upon it
A duck, lying on sand. It does not appear to be pining for the fjords, but to have ceased to be, to have expired and gone to meet its maker, a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in peace, its metabolic processes now history, off the twig, it has kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible. It is an ex-duck

tumblr post from user asteroidtroglodyte:

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it's just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn't realize, I can't, it's so much, I, I... are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they're... magical, strange traveler

I’m in a Discord with a bunch of strangers, and we’ve been watching vicariously as a member slow burns her lesbian awakening. Six months of furtive looks and small gestures and they’ve progressed to brushing hands. It’s riveting. Happy Pride.
