yeah, and I think it might be albino too? most of the gar I saw (and I saw a lot) had a beautiful dark leopard print pattern but this one was hella yellow

"bowl" as menu item category: artificial & false. complicit in reducing of foods to mere carbs and proteins. true bowl foods need not mention the bowl. naming it diminishes them.

"plate" as menu item category: implies bounty, diversity, adventure. trustworthy & kind. we love a plate that's heaping.

I can't believe in ~5 years of visiting miami I've never visited the everglades until now. what a mindblowing park, it's like someone upturned a bucket of animals in front of every step you take. all of these animals were on a short, heavily traffic path! puts our california parks to shame tbh

remember how the 00s tried to make "guesstimate" a thing? I'm glad it's dead it's literally just "estimate" but less cute

please help Marcy out!!

my work with immigrants has introduced me to some of the most brilliant, exceptional, and kind people I've ever met. they deserve the world, and the hate towards them breaks my heart and boils my blood. anti-immigrant racism is as unreasonable as it is repugnant.

I think my pet fish are simpletons

the sheer amount of calories it takes to fuel 20 teenagers on a group bike ride really doesn't clock until after that trader joe's total hits

ok I need to preface this by making clear that I adore being a teacher and giving students the opportunity to discover new parts of the community they live in is incredibly gratifying and never for a moment do I wish I was doing anything else

FUCK field trips tho

stunning as always!

heard a weird papery sound in my classroom today, turned out it was this big boy trying to escape through a window

I need to take fifteen naps

the last week was an insane rollercoaster. I rode 66 miles (on 4 hours of sleep) on saturday to fundraise for oakland schools, then learned that we lost 6 staffmembers to d*ge bullshit on sunday, then narrowly averted a one day strike the same thursday we tentatively brought those staffmembers back

a photo of dialogue from the game infinity nikki. the character Bettina says "I guess I am. I study objects with large shadows. They bring me lots of inspiration."

what the hell are they talking about in infinity nikki

I explained the difference in pronunciation between the words "live," "leave," and "leaf" to a spanish first-language student today, and he looked at me wide-eyed and said "english is crazy."

for those who don't speak spanish, the pic on the right says "you're a bitch if you read this, hope you get a zero"

probably feels good as fuckkkkkk to be a lizard basking on a rock
