Cedar waxwings get drink on fermented mulberries and roll around on the ground.

A blessed voyage

Wait wait wait, deep space 9 all the way! Rewatching now. Still amazing.

Fucking love Mexico. I'm not Mexican, but do speak Spanish... Hot dang it's a parade down the street literally every day, everyone is super out-of-their-way friendly, and the things they make are amazing: furniture, glass, textiles.

I would love to live there but the cartel violence is terrifying, as is the lack of water. Also... They don't want me!

Deleted because I should have scrolled down for "Narf!"

I have never been scared of snakes. They aren't spooky, they don't turn my stomach. The phobia has never made sense to me.

But I think if I saw that thing slither by while diving I would get it. Huh.

Weren't science communicators talking about parts of speech in whale communication last year, too? They're using AI to identify patterns and variations in speech.

Here's a general (though older) overview of whale language: https://www.britannica.com/explore/savingearth/the-language-of-whales

Sorry, but it just gets more expensive to care for them later. Aim for at least a yearly cleaning/exam so that they can catch issues before they become serious. Twice a year is better.

What about sugar-free gum?

... Wait, don't reuse dental floss? Oh no. I thought the point was only to loosen gunk!

I love Bernie, and would have given a kidney for him to have gotten the nomination way back when, but it feels like you just got jumped. Sorry bud.

My old man
He's a singer in the park
He's a walker in the rain
He's a dancer in the dark
We don't need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my blues
