A 150m year old fossil with pretensions. Here for history, Kpop, and birds, in no particular order. I lurk to avoid predators, so no point in following me. She/her

You should prosecute politicians when they break the small laws, because you won’t have the chance later, when they break the big ones.

Pisces: We should always try our best. So if you’re going to be a failure, be the biggest and best failure the world has ever seen.

It ys tyme for Tulip skeptics to face some difficulte trouthes. Tulips are the waye of the future. Yf you do not invest yn Tulips you are way behinde. Yf you do not teache your children about Tulips thei will not be able to compete on the jobbe market. Onlye Luddites dislyke Tulips.

Had a great time at the local Oktoberfest yesterday, even if every single performer played way too much from The Sound of Music. One DJ did play 99 Luftballoons, though, which was a nice touch

Always lay your baby down to sleep on their back in a product designed for safe sleep.
A baby sitting in a catapult in a suburban backyard. The baby seems surprised to be there. The text reads: Is this a safe sleep environment for your baby? No! This is a catapult! Put your baby to sleep flat on their back in a crib, bassinet, play yard, bedside sleeper or other product designed for safe sleep. If your baby falls asleep in a car seat or other product not designed for sleep, move them to a safe sleep space.

Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.

A lot of men like to contest what actually counts as rape because they remember incidents in their own sex lives and they're very sure they're not rapists so clearly it's the definition of rape that is wrong

Federal employees can be asked to provide a doctor’s note if they’re out more than 3 days. I don’t see why elected officials should get all the time they want without any accountability.
