Xmas season is approaching and soon people are gonna be doing that "Rudolph had antlers so she must have been a girl lol" thing, and it has never stopped annoying me.
Ok, kids, gather around. Reindeer physiology isn't all that simple. Yes it is true that bulls drop antlers and does keep them...

So, what is with Welsh people and driving on beaches? Is this really a thing? I'm watching this Welsh TV series and everybody is driving on beaches all the time! You'd never get away with that here.

I picked up my camera bag after taking some photos of mushrooms and discovered that an ensatina (a kind of lungless salamander) had crawled under the bag!

A very stark reminder why no one goes out on foot after dark in Churchill, Manitoba. This mom and her cubs came just off the beach and behind the town complex. The Polar Bear Alert staff gently herded them away from town to keep everyone safe. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Characters ask each other these deep questions that I really want to know the answer to and the answer they get is, “it’s a long story.” And then they just let it go! They don’t even say, “well, it’s not like I’m going anywhere…” 😖

Well, that was lovely and sincere and surprisingly well done. Good work, George. I really do think I see rehabilitation on the horizon. #TheArchers #TeamGeorge

I had a sudden urge to sing "Níl sé ina lá” (after going over irregular verbs in class: yes, the song does have some). I can’t find it! I have a great big binder of Irish songs, many of which I used to sing often, but I kind of got out of singing. I’m trying to resurrect that beloved occupation. 1/2

In too much modern fantasy, death is a dispensable inconvenience. We can wriggle eternally out of facing its blunt finality.

Fifty years ago I read a poem by Piet Hein:
I’d like to know
what this whole show
is all about
before it’s out
My mind finally supplied an answer when it popped into my thoughts just now:
It isn’t about anything.
It just is.
