Do you need a break from the multi-pack of apocalypses happening right now?

It's time for a thread of... ANIMALS WITH BALLS. (No not like they can stand up to the man. Or like they haven't been neutered. Or like Cinderella-style parties.)

This doggo is having the BEST DAY EVER
This kitteh is ready for the WNBA with those dribblin skills.
This bebe panda has a ball and is never gonna give it up, never gonna put it down.
This elephant is the new Pele. Sort of.
This cow can give that elephant a run for its money. Gooooooaaaaaaaaal!!!
Shadowfax is doin an acro-yoga retreat
This lil parakeet is ready for Cirque du Soleil
This doggo's discovered a new type of juggling: mouth juggling.
These three lions are playing the laziest game of catch ever.
Oh no this shiny murderboi stole the soccer ball and is USING ITS HANDS. Foul! No hands in soccer!
This lil bebe cheetah is also fouling the ball but it's ok bc it's too young to know better.
HOW COULD I HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR WITHOUT AN OTTER OMG

This lil sea otter can dunk on anyone!
To understand the ball you must become the ball
It's time for the SEA LION VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP and the real winner is whoever gets to watch it.
These belugas are playing with a puck, not a ball, but we'll allow it because a puck is a subset of ball that works in the cold.
Competition-ball, and a referee
The piggo with a ball that started it all:

This kitteh wishes to be one with the hamster ball

Telling a sick or disabled person "oh but you don't look sick" is actually really crappy and hurtful, even if you mean it as a compliment.

Let's talk about the reasons why.

1/
First of all, some background. Not every illness or disability is visible.

Some flare intermittently, some are never visible. Sometimes people are in incredible pain but don't show it because they're used to it, or just don't want to talk about it with you.

Lots of options.

2/
Autoimmune disorders, autonomic nerve disorders, digestive disorders... tons of conditions are only visible on the inside. And not everyone's going to show you the proof, because more often than not it's none of your business.

Every year I make a huge sculpted cake for a shared bday for me and my fiancé. This year, there's no point, because who's gonna come eat a huge cake in a pandemic?

So plan B is a pain-in-the-ass cake that's smaller.

Everyone please meet the (A Night At The) Opera Cake Opera cake with layers of almond joconde, French coffee butt
Opera cake is a Very French Cake that is rarely around because it's a hassle. It's alternating thin layers of coffee-syrup-soaked almond joconde sponge, French coffee buttercream, and chocolate ganache/glaze. Traditionally it has the word Opera written on it in chocolate cursive
When you bake the sponge it looks really sad. It's thin and pale, but that's how it's SUPPOSED to look. This sucker wants you to beat whole eggs and egg whites in 2 different bowls and if you only have 1 bowl that works with your mixer it's super fun.

Last month's #snackening was from Thailand.

This month is from Egypt! Let's goooooo

1/ Assortment of packaged snac...
These snacks were... less unique. Few new flavors, and no "this must be what Satan's asshole tastes like" flavors. Maybe bc I lived in Israel which has some similar flavors? Anyway, we did keep almost all of these for nomming post tasting, which is rare!

2/
First up, "crazy tomato" puffs!

Josh hates all things tomato (and I wish I'd taken a pic of his face on this). It kind of tasted and smelled like Campbell's instant tomato soup powder but in cheese puff form. Honestly, it worked for me! Salty and artificial tomato-y... yum.

3/ Blue and orange bag of &quo...Two "crazy tomato"...

Y'all, we finished Legend of Korra and I'm honestly disappointed. No thematic resonance, no great earned catharsis. Shoulda just watched Last Airbender again instead.

Spoilers below, mute this tweet if you don't wanna see em.
1/
I'm super down for Korra being bi, and Asami was treated so terribly throughout the show (both by writers & other characters) that she deserves a happy ending dammit.

But like, you gotta develop their relationship to make the pairing feel right? And make em kiss you cowards.

2/
And DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED on how terribly Zhu Li was treated, and somehow her marrying Varrick was The Big Catharsis? For the whole show? When she didn't even have a character trait to speak of until s4? I'm sorry, whut?

Everything is terrible, so here's a thread of ANIMALS RIDING OTHER ANIMALS to brighten your feed.

We start with this epic Least Weasel (seriously that's its name) riding a whole damn woodpecker in flight!
Here's a very smol doggo riding a very lorge doggo in perfect doggo symbiosis
This very clever snail is riding this frog to get a speed boost. Just because the frog is sitting still doesn't mean it's not working!
