Three panel comic. Panel 1: 5 million years ago - a bunch of bedbugs lounge around in a living room, looking totally bored. Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

Another critter I photographed at North Cascades National Park: Clark's Nutcracker. Though monotone in color, I still find this bird striking. #birdphotography #northcascades #birds #wildlifephotography
A light grey bird with black wings that have white tips. The bird has a long-ish, pointed black beak and black feet.The same type of bird as in the previous picture, this time perched on the limb of a pine tree.

the Kerrville City Council in TX officially replaced the term “community cat” with “feral cat” in its animal code last night. outrageous. offensive. a feral cat sounds like an outsider. a criminal. a community cat is your neighbor. a community cat will help you change your tire. language matters.
an orange and white cat looks exceptionally offended. he is sitting down.

At North Cascades National Park, I encountered the roundest dang Cascade Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel that I've ever seen. Look at this magnificent creature! #squirrels #groundsquirrel #wildlifephotography #northcascades #fatanimals
A fat Cascade Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel (Callospermophilus saturatus) viewed from the front. The squirrel's fur is golden-brown with a darker belly. It is sitting on its haunches on a lichen covered boulder and looking to the right of the frame. The same Cascade Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel (Callospermophilus saturatus) viewed from the side. From this angle one of the dark stripes down its back is visible.

This idea applies to other things. If you wear a big sun hat, a polo shirt, and a pair of baggy cargo shorts to the zoo, you can tell people wholly fabricated, rather incorrect information about the animals and they will believe you.

i've been married almost 20 years and yet my soulmate still wanders free
Since 2003, an anonymous "grammar vigilante" in Bristol has been correcting misplaced apostrophes on shop signs and street signs at night. He uses a long-handled tool called the "apostrophiser" to reach high signs and fix errors like "Amy's Nail's" and "Cambridge Motor's". By day, he is a mild-mannered engineer who considers his work a cause worth pursuing.
