She sent me this pygmy hippo fact about an hour ago:
Screenshot: Why are pygmy hippos so shiny? You'd think that gloss comes from wallowing in water all day. Nope. All over their skin, pygmy hippos have tiny mucus glands that excrete a pink goo, keeping them hydrated and protected from the sun. Their skin is actually greenish-black, but the mucus gives them a rosy glow.

Idk how to make this interesting to other people but last night my elderly mother sent me, unprompted, a photo of a hippo followed by just a scathing review of this animal.
Overexposed photo of a hippo in the water up to his neck, his mouth is wide open revealing 4 teeth, one broken. 3 texts from my mother at 10:58pm "He has a busted tooth. He ate too many rocks. Idiot." "He can swallow a whole bushel of grains in one gulp. He's disgusting" "Pygmy hippo is much better"

I hadn't! He just looks like a regular guy!!!
A photo of a Scottish Wild Cat sitting in a grassy clearing. To me he is indistinguishable from a brown tabby housecat.

Here's some great looking dholes:
A proud looking Dhole, a wild dog resembling a cross between a coyote and a red fox. He stands on a rock and looks into the camera. 2 Dholes, one seated and the other standing right next to the first. Their relationship looks playful.

We're having a scheduled power outage. Just fyi.
Photo of a Pallas cat standing on a mossy rock. It's not related to the power failure I'm just really into Pallas cats right now.

Fish mail sounds cool I think this would probably do well if it still existed? Kind of animal crossing-esque.
From Wikipedia: The game also featured two modes of online play: tournament fishing and "fish mail". In tournament fishing, players competed to catch the biggest fish within a species. Fish mail consisted of writing short messages. Players could receive random messages by catching fish.

A drawing I did on my phone of a dream I had where my mom wore a necklace of raw porkchops.
Line drawing on a white background of a woman with her head turned to the side. Her hands gesture to her necklace of raw porkchops.

I went to the shipping place with the 2 big dogs today but they were asleep.
A black and white husky lying on a speckled linoleum floor. Beside him is a huge bone. A white Husky lying on a speckled linoleum floor, his back half is hidden behind a green curtain. He's special because his nose is pink.

I've been sad and I started rewatching Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun and it really makes me smile, I love these idiots so much.
Promo image featuring illustrations of the characters: A redhead girl and boy, a tall boy with black hair who looks like an adult in a high school uniform, a blond girl pulling on the tie of a worried looking boy, and a blue haired androgynous looking girl beside a furious looking brown haired boy. They're in high school uniforms.

Oh I love it, I love these two dingdongs. I thought the series might be spinning its wheels a little bit but there's a fun little turn in episode 6 and I'm just so bought in on these doofuses. If you like a rom-com with some really lovely, subtle acting you might like Yano-kun's Ordinary Days too!
Yoshida and Yano, the lead girl and boy from the anime Yano-kun's Ordinary Days, sit side by side facing the audience. Each holds a portrait of themselves drawn by the other.

2/2 (there are others but they're getting into my "awkward years")
6 year old opening an interior door. She is dressed as a skunk and wearing face paint. Side view of the skunk costume reveals a bushy white stripe and long tail! She's holding an orange pumpkin bucket. A siamese cat named Ricky, best boy to ever live, is also in the photo. 7 year old girl posed in an 80s entryway dressed as a cow, complete with a cow bell. She wears sunglasses and looks, frankly, incredible. Beside her is an orange pumpkin bucket.

(Whoops, forgot the alt text!)
My mom has a bunch of photos of the Halloween costumes she made for me as a kid and no social media. I think she'd be really happy for people to admire her work! 1/2
3 yr old in an 80s living room wearing a baggy bird costume with an elaborate mask. I asked to be a "Caw Bird" which is what the costume is. 4 year old posed against a white wall wearing a pink bunny suit and face paint. I look forlorn but I think I'm just kind of like that. Slightly happier photo of the bunny suit. A slight side turn reveals the cottony tail. 5 year old posed very sassily in front of an interior doorway. She wears a metallic purple unicorn suit and holds an orange pumpkin bucket. This kid means business.

I bought Swiss Chalet flavored chips, they're disgusting and I can't stop eating them.

Imagine if there was a link! Imagine if it had been given to me instead of sending me to fish around on Puck myself! Imagine!!!

I don't totally understand what this is but I really liked it!!!

A page of results from a personality test. The result is "Light" which is represented by the colour yellow and a kind of animal faced sun character. It has sections for "Innate Personality" traits and "Character Traits" and lists a number of flattering qualities.

BTW if anyone knows a version of these that WON'T fade in the sun or otherwise degrade please let me know!!! I've been looking but nothing yet.
Overhead photo of my box of tempera sticks. On the top of the box I've taped a swatch chart with each of the 15 colours.

Another drawing of the big duck, the other got a little overworked. The tempera sticks are really big and fat and it's hard to control at the scale I normally work. A reminder about @shing.bsky.social's essay in praise of Little Guys, too. #sketchbook
Pencil drawing of a giant duck nesting on a bunch of skyscrapers. Surprised helicopter pilots go by. Sketchbook page with an orange line drawing of 2 chunky shrew-like animals and the words "Little Guys"
