Whenever it rains in the desert all characters should at all times be exclaiming "wow, we really needed this," over the klaxon sound of flash flood warnings hitting every device in the room.

I was impressed by both of the leaders in this race as well, would be totally happy with either one of them.

An Ethical Grook by Piet Hein I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best.

I once heard an ornithologist on the CBC say that crows are animals which "have exceeded their evolutionary parameters and are now just bored"

Anyway that's why if you meet a member of the International Astronomical Union you should push their drink off the table in protest.

Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph ‍Jérôme ‍de ‍Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped poor Felis when they created their official set of constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...

#BirdGlamour returns with the Sandhill Crane! Sandhill Cranes perform elaborate courtship dances for their mates. They stay with their mates year round and mate for life, which may be over 20 years! There are 2.5 million year old Sandhill Crane fossils from FL! 🐡🧪🐦

This creature from that nest remains and probably always will be the coolest thing I've found: the bilateral gynandromorph Polyergus longicornis; half worker, half winged male alate. A They/Them Ant. 🖤❤️ Still feels kind of surreal! 🌿🐜🧪

I watch so many videos of red pandas. Would love to meet one in person, but never have one as a pet.

What gorgeous markings, Fizbit! This was such a Monday. One of my kitties and I both had dental appts. Hers was much more ‘spensive than mine.

I traveled to Oregon for the 2017 eclipse, and saw last year's annular eclipse in Placitas. Just magnificent. Gonna sit this one out; really have no desire to spend any time in Texas.

Ooh, is this the production with the Glynis Johns interview during intermission? Loved hearing her talk about “Send in the Clowns.”

Saw an interview with Glynis Johns on Send in the Clowns. Sondheim wrote the short phrases (isn’t it rich? Are we a pair?) because Desiree is so angry after Frederik declares his love for Anne, she can barely speak. Can’t bear hearing people sing it like it’s a pretty song.

the conversation we should be having is not “here are how both Democrats and Republicans differ in their approach to solving the border crisis” because THE BORDER CRISIS AS CHARACTERIZED BY REPUBLICANS IS A COMPLETELY MADE-UP THING AND NOT A NEUTRAL BIPARTISAN FACT OF EXISTENCE LIKE THE WEATHER
