Kai figured out how to pick things up with one paw, and uses this power to lick her toys.

Her brothers, Bazil (left) and Rubious (right), prefer the sock-squid.

Anyone wanna reblog this so I can see

pictures of cats?

Doesn’t have to be your cat—I’m just down and if you want to share some cats just reblog this so I can see 👍

Thanks if you do

Pokemon starter selfie (sorry, not an artist)

@modmad you're a genius. It never occurred to me to think about the kinds of Pokemon I would've grown up with.

My dad was (now retired) an aquatics biologist, which meant traveling across the entire state, visiting various creeks, streams and rivers to take census of local populations. He'd turn every business trip into a family one, so i would've had the potential to encounter any species that lives in/near freshwater.

Little me absolutely would've acquired a Wooper at some point, because CUTE and semi-aquatic. And because Dad would've gotten me a fish, I would've ended up with either a Feebas or a Goldeen, depending on whether or not I fell for Goldeen's pretty fins before I imprinted on Dad's Milotic. (I cannot understate just how much this man loves bottom feeders.)

*dazed wonder* I legit could've been one of those kids with a Feebas, getting angry at bullies because "Don't you understand how important they are for the ecosystem!?!'

Thank you for the mental exercise, this is going to be eating my brain for the next week.

I've never understood the fear of death.

Fear of pain, of loss, of grief? Oh, those I understand.

But death itself?

It's like fearing the sunrise.

I hope "we have creature talk" Julia is doing well.

I think she is! I'm out of town rn so I can't get direct updates, but she called yesterday and seemed to be doing okay :]

Prompts are open !

Wow, a prompt post, no way... That’s right people, it’s quarantine here at least until May 11th and i’ve been toying with the idea for a while but wasn’t so sure I’d be up for it... And then Naramyon over AO3 (I believe their side blog here is @blogunderthemattress, hope I didn’t get that wrong) left over thirty <i> amazing </i> reviews over pretty much everything I’ve written,

Talk about giving someone <i> motivation </i>, wow !

So, I’ll give it a try at least.

Gimme a character or a pairing and a sentence and I’ll tackle that in the afternoon :) Star Wars, ideally, though hey, you never know, toss a fandom my way, if I know it, I’ll try it ^^

making a new post so I don't derail someone else's with a rant.

The Internet is Not a Safe Space for Kids

What this means is, the Internet is a Public Space.

It's like a grocery store parking lot. Yeah, everyone is doing their own thing, but you still teach your kids about potential dangers AND how they're expected to behave in public.

But too many people treat the Internet like it's a Private Space. This results in a) people being rude, and b) parents not supervising their kids.

The Internet is a Public Space.

i'm on Dashboard, and this is what Blog Settings look like for Messages.

^ this is what the Settings look like on 4/5 of my blogs.

but for some fucking reason, for @graffitinight, the Settings look like-

WHY IS THIS BLOG NOT ALLOWED MESSAGES?!??

and why has it taken me, like, a decade to notice

Anyways, if you ever tried to talk to me SORRY i can't find my own damn Messaging settings.

That ny texts are slowly becoming less ledgible is a point of pride

I am absolutely sick of apps

Every. Single. Damned. Business.

Stores, banks, gas station, credit cards, restaurants, the HOSPITAL, airlines, movie theaters, even the bloody veterinarian!

Applications are for things I'm using daily, not 'maybe twice a year' shite.

Even IF the app is completely benign, no data harvesting whatsoever, it's still taking up memory space on my device.

What's wrong with a website?!?!

I was today years old when I learned that ASL for 'thank you' is, at a glance, very similar to 'fuck you'

Thinking about poetry, and how the most valuable class I had in highschool.

I was one of those 'on the spectrum, reading above their grade level' teenagers, who took things literally.

We read Frost's 'two roads diverged in a yellow wood' poem, and when asked for interpretations, one of my classmates started talking about their father-

Teenage me is like, 'no??? It's about walking in the woods??? It says so???'

But I kept listening and the teacher was all, 'yes, good!', and another student with a different interpretation which was also 'yes, good!' and it slowly dawned on me that, 1) poetry, art is meant to mean different things to different people, and 2) conflicting truths can exist simultaneously, and be no less true.

And this lesson continues to influence how I interact with the world and the people in it? Decades later, and I can still pause, inhale, and think, 'calm down. Now, what's THEIR truth?'

Saw this post about reflexively hiding what you’re doing on the computer whenever someone enters the room, and since my experience was the complete opposite I didn’t want to derail it so:

Shout Out to that time when my mother came into my room while I was reading a lemon fic and I Didn’t Close The Tab, betting that she wouldn’t even look at my monitor. 

Not only did she actually read what was on the screen, but her reaction was a gleeful, “You’re reading pORN!” at which point she paused for a moment, then sounding surprised, “Good porn” and she kept reading.

At which point i shoved her out of the room while she laughed.  X’D
