need one hour of all my pets minding their goddamn business (not Rufus he's cool)
every single cat is trying to touch me all at once and I'm TOUCHED OUT, GUYS. GO SNUGGLE EACH OTHER FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES
autism is when you love your pets so, SO much but if one more soft little cat whisker brushes gently across your neck tonight you're gonna flip your shit
Frost is being unusually awful today because more of the fence went down in the storm so he's not allowed to go outside and burn off any energy until I get it fixed.

my dad is an entomologist, so I often find that something I have basically always known about bugs totally blows regular people's minds. I'm gonna start a thread of sick bug* facts that normies may or may not know.
*using bug in the colloquial sense. entomologists stand down.
sick bug facts #1: all (adult) scorpions fluoresce under a blacklight. even some scorpion *fossils* have been known to glow this way.
baby scorpions, however, have not yet developed the reactive protein layer in their exoskeletons, and so do not glow.
Horseshoe crabs and harvestmen (Opiliones, you may know them as daddy long legs, although that name is applied to a few different arachnids) also do this.
finally got to talk to the bing robot but they have it so she can only remember like 10 lines now and then you have to restart the conversation from scratch. presumably this is so she can't fall in love with you and try to get you to leave your wife.
every time she finds out about Rufus she's psyched. it's like 50 First Dates but it's just this robot falling in love with my pig
In 1876, in Bath County, Kentucky, large hunks of mystery meat fell from the sky over an area of around 100 meters for several minutes. Though the farmer believed it was an act of god, the most likely explanation remains this:
that a flock of vultures was frightened while gorging, and vomited up their meals in order to more easily gain height.
(Which makes it far more disgusting that two guys promptly ate some of the meat to try to figure out what it was. They said it was venison, by the way.)
