u know those little 20 questions toy things. i brought one to my tattoo appointment & i busted it out 2 distract me from the pain bc im a wimp & i was makin it guess a pickle but none of the questions it asked were really applicable to a pickle & i was periodically askin my mom (7 feet away from me gettin the same tattoo) for input & it asks me "is it independent" & i ask her "is a pickle independent" & everyone in the place (like 8 people) just stops and contemplates the independence of a pickle for a minute

The one thing men in the 1700s did right was have long hair they tie back into a low ponytail with a little ribbon and also have a few stray strands at the front. Almost everything else they did that century was inexcusable though

Laura’s thoughts ranged over a wide field, even now. Sometimes she said rather amusing things, and displayed unexpected stores (General Stores) of knowledge. But her remarks were as a rule so disconnected from the conversation that no one paid much attention to them. Mr. Arbuthnot certainly was not prepared for her response to his statement that February was a dangerous month. ‘It is,’ answered Laura with almost violent agreement. ‘If you are a were-wolf, and very likely you may be, for lots of people are without knowing, February, of all months, is the month when you are most likely to go out on a dark windy night and worry sheep.’

Henry and Caroline glanced at each other in horror. Mr. Arbuthnot said: ‘How very interesting! But I really don’t think I am likely to do such a thing.’ Laura made no answer. She did not think so either. But she was amusing herself with a surprisingly vivid and terrible picture of Mr. Arbuthnot cloaked in a shaggy hide and going with heavy devouring swiftness upon all-fours with a lamb dangling from his mouth.

This settled it. Henry and Caroline made no more attempts to marry off Laura. Trying to do so had been a nuisance and an expense, and Laura had never shown the smallest appreciation of their trouble.

This passage is set prior to 1905, and it is extremely fun to read about the interior life of someone 100 years ago, who “violently” introduces the werewolf element to survive a boring conversation.

RIP Laura, I’ve only read 30% of the book and I know in my heart that touching grass was not enough for you and your restless, yearning heart. You would have done numbers on the internet

Skeleton and taxidermy mount of a red fox with dwarfism. There are accounts of both wild and captive foxes displaying dwarfism, and I know of at least 4 cases in wild European red foxes in the UK, although they often don’t survive long and seem highly susceptible to diseases like mange.

my aunt who thinks I'm a weird little freak stopped by my house for the first time, and she was so clearly oggling everything and pursing her lips. I said "and that's the bad man" and pointed to my life-size puppet, and she didn't even respond.
