This crew of worthless human beings are freely shedding Ukrainian blood in their support of Putin's rape murder and genocide on a neighboring country of peaceful farmers. I've never thought these were American values.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Did you know New Zealand and other south-west Pacific islands have LEAF-VEINED SLUGS?!
Unlike their omnivorous European relatives, these unique leaf-mimicking slugs eat only fungi. They breathe mainly through the skin of the back, which is kept moist by secretions passing along the many grooves! 🧪
