Official doomscroll break.
Rocky the fluffy grey tabby is intensely asleep with his little left paw over his mouth. His white-socked back feet are close to the camera so you can admire the toehawks and the black-and-pink beans. Also, his tail is very poofy.

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp

‘We stole the Super Bowl audience’: how In Living Color pulled off the greatest heist in US TV history
Turning Point USA is plotting its own half-time broadcast in defiance of Bad Bunny – but one of TV’s Blackest shows already perfected the alt-cast in 1992

between you and John I'm wondering if I could frame it in a way that would work for RS!

I will keep that in mind for other things (bc I certainly do also do EM!), but this is really solidly 15th medieval, not sure it'd be a good fit. (But will keep in mind! ty!)

I mean yes and no right? If it's English and not about Middle English lit it's a really tough sell and I really don't have to swim up that stream anymore. Maybe we'll see how the book does first. idk.

Researching massive gaps is tricky bc journals develop around popular research areas, not third rails.

So do I write it and Hail Mary it as a conceptual piece to like Spec or idek JMEMS or something? idk.

Celebrating Superb Owls day, here are some of our burrowing owls being particualrly superb! Training isn't just tricks; medical behaviors like learning voluntary nail trims here mean not having to catch and restrain birds, much less stress for people and birds alike.
