I am the Coat Bath.

Laying one out definitely wasn’t one of the questions on the 9 exams I had to take to get my license.

That was, unfortunately, one of my first thoughts…

Same here… for years we have had a streetlight that didn’t work (birds nesting in it) and it was lovely. There was plenty of ambient light. Now it’s so damned bright it’s ridiculous.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Honestly, I have been considering ordering almost ANY inflatable costume to have in solidarity— I love the images of the raccoon, peacock, polar bear, etc. supporting the work!

In that context, I read it as “job description”.

100% this!

I love that the German word seal is seehund. Basically sea dog. Or dog mermaid if you will. Particularly if you live with a basset hound. Which is essentially a land seal.

Dear god, I saw some mention of this out here without context and I just assumed it was a joke too.

Will this be an art print available? I know someone who really loves this image that I’d love to buy it for.

When I was growing up, our cat (who was born in our house) had a secret family a few doors down. It took a while for us to figure it out, but he would rotate between the houses. When we all realized what was going on, our moms would call each other to check on him and coordinate vet visits, etc.
