(changed the name obvs because this is a true story)

one time when I was a kid someone was discussing baby names with one of my parents while I was playing my DS in the same room & I suggested the name benji & they said "Huh. I actually kinda like that" & now theres an adult man named benji who has no idea he was named after my Nintendog

Cheetahs are my favorite big cat because they remind me so much of Penny Lane, but this one’s got Wendy’s blep. 🥹🥹🥹

#ICYMI Listen to @elksneedle.bsky.social from @justthezooofus.bsky.social and I chat about our time at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park on See Jurassic Right!

yall fantasy authors got graphic torture and sex scenes but draw the line at saying "fuck"??????

one of my biggest scifi/fantasy pet peeves: made-up cuss words that are written like the author did a "find & replace all" & just swapped "fuck" for some otherwise benign word. I get why they do it but im sorry it's soooo cringe to me

Tomorrow will be different

Yesterday it was playing video games in the car and making myself carsick. Today it is eating pasta before the gym

A fun bit we've been doing is saying "this time will be different" while we do the same exact thing we've done, regretted, and sworn never to do again at least a dozen times before. When it turns out exactly the same way, the punchline of the bit is saying "next time will be different"

That's a load-bearing cat

On this week’s See Jurassic Right, we chat with @justthezooofus.bsky.social cohost, @elksneedle.bsky.social, about animal conservation, what makes a great animal exhibit, the joy of the San Diego Safari Park, and so much more.

if they ever change their name from "academy" to "institution" it is so over for me I would never recover

tired: "proceedings of the national academy of sciences"
wired: "peenass"

oh you're real mature and intellectual science communicator huh? let's see you cite a paper from "PNAS" out loud

If I had eliza thornberry powers but only for 10 seconds I would take my cat's head in my hands and say that he would stop throwing up all his breakfast if he ate slower, & then he would tell me to stop picking him up and flipping him over like a baby & then I would say no and my time would be up

hot take perhaps but I have yet to read a book that was more than 600 pages long that had any business being that damn long

children of strife comes out on my birthday its the best gift I could have asked for thank you based @aptshadow.bsky.social 🙏🥹❤️

I love Seattle because the badge is the only thing that makes it different from any other day

yeah yeah yall got the bodice thing with the celestial and/or botanical embellishments and the laced up leather boots and the trousers because she's not like other maidens we get it hit the road gang

when the fantasy novel explains every characters outfit in painstaking detail like they're not all just wearing standard issue ren faire fits

me after reading all these crow books ig

When dropping my kid off at preschool it'd take me like 10 minutes to leave because each kid just kept talking to me. UNTIL I realized that at literally any point you can just wave and say "ok, bye!" & they'll say bye and leave. They have a dismiss dialogue option

I'm currently reading three books and in all three of them have crows are central to the plot. This was unintentional and unexpected but welcome
