You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"
Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

"Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a tardigrade, no time to talk
Don't care if it's cold or if it's warm
I've been immortal since I was born
Now it's alright, it's okay
If they irradiate me all day
Because it can help to understand
My weird proteins' effects on man"

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.
Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Gold octopus-shaped ornaments from Bronze Age Mycenae, Grave IV, Grave Circle A.
The curled tips of the arms create eyelets for stitching the ornaments onto a garment or shroud some 3,500 years ago.

I really sometimes have to wonder, do people know that other people are also people? Even if they have different skin colours or come from far away? You know they’re still, like, human beings, right? You’re still supposed to care if they live or die. Do you know that?

Just rewatched Sinners and finally got around to KPop Demon Hunters and that was just a way better double feature than it had any right to be.

Bashir finds himself a little too in his own head for his 30th birthday: he's aging rapidly and something is after him
I can certainly relate to the feeling of rapidly aging.
