I got a Bird of the Day calendar for my kids this year (because clearly my one and only goal is to raise nerds, ya'll), and I have now seen the vulturine guineafowl, and let me tell you, I took one look at it and said, "That is a bird that will cut a bitch."

Gender norms are societal creations that vary wildly because they are entirely social constructs that have been developed and imposed due to survival conditions that often existed thousands of years ago and are largely defunct.

Listen --- sometimes the baby is kind of ugly. It's okay. Almost all of the time, it's just kind of a weird phase. Show others that you understand and care when you give them the swan and cygnet mobile -- because sometimes that ugly duckling just grows into it.

Also, axelotls. They never lose their tails, meaning that they are eternal adolescents. Do you think they'd like video games and collecting Funko pops? Fuck yeah. They can do that AND reproduce, so embrace that energy for yourself.

Big thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts and kind comments while Amundsen is missing. He had his vet checkup yesterday, got a good dose of antiparasite meds, and he has been released from his quarantine lockup. He got a very thorough licking from Peary, a lot of cuddles, and is back to normal!

My in-laws are visiting, and are not careful about closing doors. Amundsen slipped out at some point yesterday afternoon. We checked our camera footage and he was on the front porch around 10pm last night -- we have been looking for him all morning, but nothing. Really hoping we'll find him.

Also, what hangs from it? Hypothetically, would you be interested in having small felt bats hang down and fly in the breeze, around the Christmas season? Totally hypothetically.
I'm including a hypothetical picture.

Okay, Bluesky -- my kids have a rainbow spirit day coming up at school, and I need to get them something rainbow themed to wear before the date, so I need to ask: this pin looks cute and fun, but it's safe to wear and hasn't been co-opted by Nazis or anything, right?

You should read the entirety, but I'm quoting only the most vicious part of Le Guin's takedown of Watership Down -- though please do go and read the whole passage in the quoted post. Very worth it.

Thank you! We also had a Shackleton, but he passed away earlier this year from kidney disease. He was a lovely, very brave little cat!
