Despite their demure ways, pangolins are the focus of a harrowing drama, their species poached to near extinction by a massive and illegal worldwide trade. 🧪

Black and white photo of a fluffy long haired tabby kitten - I think it is orange but could be grey. He is sitting 3/4 profiled to the left but looking straight at the camera with a teeny little blep poking out.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.
