Another day of stewing on the fact that Game of Thrones ended with the seeds of a Westeros Magna Carta and discovery of Aryamerica and they just ended there. My soul for a fantasy that lets the world evolve with history ✨️

The St. Louis Zoo has a dedicated penguin elevator for transporting their Formal Chickens™ to behind-the-scenes areas where they can get medical checkups, enrichment activities. Kicking myself for becoming a LAB biologist when I could have been a Penguin Elevator operator. (📷: St. Louis Zoo)

Yes, Congress is in recess. Yes, they should probably come back now. Yes, you can still call them while they're out. Call a local office! We have those numbers for you @ 5calls.org 🔥📞🔥

Let's learn about some medical research that just left Earth on Artemis II, bound for the silver sphere in the sky. It's AVATAR, but it doesn't involve blue aliens. It stands for "A Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response" & it looks like this USB drive-sized device.

A human hand holds a plastic object that is a sort of prism or rectangular plastic object the size of a USB thumb drive.  It has blue and red lines that meet in the middle, but sort of cross at each end, producing an extended "X".

Someone asked earlier if I have a favorite photo in my collection. I'm not certain but I think it might be this one. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. It's definitely a candidate for the cover of the book I fantasize about creating someday.

Stay frosty, my friends. For it is THE DAY OF LIES. Dipshitted shenanigans abound! Foolish chicanery everywhere! Japes by those people and companies who are very bad at japes! Hide in the dark! Trust no one till the sun has set upon this stupid day!

Our Lyanna; she was a rescued feral and so didn't have a *known* birthdate, and the vet assigned April 1, 2017 as the most likely date, so we celebrate *her* instead of the all-too-common mean-spirited pranks. Happy 9th birthday, Lyanna!

May I recommend we replace April Fools Day with April Pets Day, where we all post pics of our pets and pamper them. Because fuck this world needs more kindness and support.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

have been in a generally grumpy mood for days and felt better today and realized it's because the sun is out and i have a large glass of water. i'm literally just a plant that's been cursed with the ability to complain.
