Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

look my (English) great-grandfather was distraught when his daughter married my grandfather (Scots/Irish). it's... not one big group hug of cultural identities here, and anyone who suggests it is is a nitwit
Look I don't wanna boost that Elon post about English / Scots / Irish stuff more than it needs to be boosted but anyone claiming that English / Scots / Irish culture are the same inherent base culture is inherently disqualified from any further commentary on English / Scots / Irish culture.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

i switched off the light and both cats were still milling around my ankles when i started walking, so inevitably i trod upon one of their feetsies, and immediately felt so guilty that both cats got apology treats because i couldn't tell which one i steppy'd
this is probably a scam but i'm good w/it

I do not love every damn login requiring me to use my phone. I don't love the extra 'security' that makes life more complicated for average folks while data companies are out there leaking our info like it's stored in colanders. Am I safer now? Less at risk for having my identity stolen? HELL NO.

Sunny beat me to the very next statement I was going to make.
The whole performance wasn’t about the triumph of the individual, but the collective effort and joy that that elevates all of us out of oppression.
They literally danced their way through and out of the history of colonialism TOGETHER.

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

Pick up a pencil and learn how to draw if you want art or just enjoy the art other people make. That's free.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
