This young blue frog did everything the opposite way his mom said. If she told him to go right, he would go left. If she said stay in, he would go out. (1/?)

Both male and female horses have eyelashes. Unicorns don't exist so this can't be scientifically verified. Valiant use of taxpayer money to micromanage the acceptable eyelash representation of fictional animals.
This is what "parents rights" looks like in TX: 1 mother decides what 8,292 students don't get access to read b/c she thinks boy unicorns shouldn't be pink or have eyelashes. *side note: the unicorn isn't pink, but he does have eyelashes. And to TX legislators: your bad laws are harming our kids.

#FolktaleWeek2025 Day 1: Night
There used to be no sun or moon in the sky, and the nights were darker and scarier. One of those nights, a tiger caught a woman who was walking home from the market by a lonely mountain path. She begged for her life, offering a rice cake from her basket. (1/?)

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid
anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”
this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

My favorite new genre of ad is when it's just some actor in a studio kitchen unconvincingly chopping up fruit while talking about insurance or whatever. So relatable

#OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke: publicdomainreview.org/collection/h... #OTD #EdgarAllanPoe

Removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The House on Mango Street from Texas classrooms does not protect Texas kids. The Texas GOP and Governor Abbott need to answer for this. Shameful.

Once, when I was a school librarian and it was book fair week, the kids lined up at the doors at 7:30AM, started jiggling the door handle, knocking on the windows, and chanting "Open up, open up." It would have been terrifying if it weren't so adorable.
