A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

Baxter’s review of Pokemon Legends Z-A:

A) good to sit on
B) catching them all is relevant to his interests
Baxter - a grey and white tuxedo cat - sitting on a Switfh 2 console with both front paws carefully gripping the right analogue stick. If you zoom in you can see the screen instructing you to use the LEFT analogue stick.

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

Two shorthaired tabby cats snuggled together on a soft beige blanket. The cat on the left, Lincoln, a male gray-and-white tabby with short fur, is licking the head of the other cat affectionately. The cat on the right, Sawyer, a male gray, black, and white shorthaired tabby, has his eyes closed and appears relaxed, leaning into Lincoln’s grooming. A bright window in the background lets in soft natural light.
