On this excellent day, be aware that this is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, covering over 95,000 square miles and reaching depths of over a thousand feet. They are beautiful freshwater seas.
Also when you die in these lakes, the very cold, oxygen-poor conditions at the bottom preserves you perfectly for all eternity. You will not rot and nothing will eat you. You will exist for as long as the Great Lakes do. Many shipwrecks still have the crew on board. Be Aware.
Aye-Aye chewing his beloved bamboo chew, as promised. I don't know why he didn't just keep it in his nest -- I guess he just liked having a specific Chewing Room.
I cleaned out his cage yesterday and when I found this chew, there was barely anything left of it. He chewed it to bits in about two weeks.
I asked my friends on Discord if they used "psipsipsi" or "swswsw" when they are trying to call kitties, and I got a wide array of answers and it got me wondering--
How do you
Thank you to @space-glitter-gay, @frogs-under-logs, @justoneofthosebibliophiles, and Virginia for the blessing and the other options!
And to thank you for your answer, here's a photo of our adopted kitten:
Maybe it's because we left the First Mow of the year late, but we've had these little white wildflowers pop up all over the place this year, where usually they're concentrated in a few isolated spots instead.
Continuing to keep a close eye on this poor old guy. He seemed stable for a couple weeks after the vet appointment, but now he has a new bald spot forming behind one of his ears, a couple new scabs, and he's started dragging that right leg a bit, which suggests he's in pain. Once it seems like he's just in too much discomfort, or if he stops doing his daily activities, it'll be time to say good-bye unfortunately.
In happier news, according to the shelter age I was given, he turns three this month! He's attained a grand old age for a hamster.
Managed to get this video of Croak returning to his lair (feat. the bald spot on his stomach/leg, poor guy).
I've started emptying out his regular cage so I can replace all the bedding with just paper bedding. Hopefully I can move him back within a couple weeks, after I've bought enough bedding to fill it back up.
everyone agreeing with this tweet is so lucky because cell phones have absolutely been in my dreams, specifically DREAMS ABOUT TUMBLR DISCOURSE. I literally had a dream my mutuals made a callout for me i'm not fucking joking helppp
