In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.
Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.
Like puppies
Ducks
Deer
Emus
They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!
Really really exciting news :) I’m working from Taiwan for 3 months starting in the fall! I think this is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to live in Taiwan for longer than a period of a month since that was the longest that I would usually stay and I finally got the last okay from work to go remote!
I’m trying to stay level headed and think through what I want to get out of this experience since I know how quickly 3 months can pass when I’m in a different place. I’ll be working hellish hours into the night but personally, I think the sacrifice is worth it. As long as I keep my head on straight, my work shouldn’t suffer.
I’m SO excited. Not only does Taiwan have COVID completely under control, I think it’ll be a good opportunity to go discover new things and travel the way I’ve wanted to.
Something I think will be very interesting to tackle is making friendships and meeting new people. I’m ready to expand my circle and revive my extrovert from the dead. But to do that, I want to first think about what type of people I want to engage and then where to find them. Fingers crossed. This is going to be a really whirlwind 3 months if I do this right!
Wow 4 years really passed just like that huh? 8.2020
red: how was your first kiss? what do you love about yourself? when’s the last time you warmed your hands in front of a fire? would you rather watch a sunrise or sunset? what’s the best thing about summer?
I barely remember it, but its okay. I love that I have faith in the process. Maybe not always, but enough to keep me going. A fire? Probably Christmas 2019 in SF. Sunrise. It’s just prettier. The best thing about summer is definitely my birthday. I haven’t been able to do anything this year but regardless its still the highlight.
orange: what makes you feel warm inside? what’s your favorite halloween tradition? what’s the last thing you learned? when’s the last time you felt obsessed? what’s your favorite article of clothing?
When someone asks for my recommendation on obscure things. Either you somehow knew I had prior knowledge to this or you just wonder about my opinion. which is nice! I learned that I’m a really clean person. I felt obsessed in July when i decided to get a month subscription to Crunchyroll. I’m in love with this gray adidas zip up jacket with a cinched bottom detail.
yellow: if you could have any view from your bedroom window what would you choose? what’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day? what do you consider lucky? what made you smile today? what makes you happy?
A view of a city from a high floor. Preferably in the clouds. Favorite thing to do on a sunny day hasn’t changed - wish for cloudy weather. The number of times Claire has not gotten a speeding ticket is lucky. I smiled while people watching. Happy is hard to define right now...
green: what’s your favorite thing to do outside? do you like camping? what would you spend $1,000 on? what’s your job, or what do you want to do as your job? what’s your favorite article of clothing?
walk. I really love taking walks and looking up to the sky. Camping is ok. I would spend it on my dream TB purse. I am actually working in events and i love it i love it i love it. BUT I also think I’m ready for some change soon.
blue: what do you do when you’re sad? what are some things you do when you can’t sleep? what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had? what kind of covers do you have on your bed? who is the last person you told a secret to?
I put on sad music and I type and write and obsess and scribble until I’m not sad anymore. When I can’t sleep, I’ve been playing a lot of mind games, sudoku, elevate, etc. I have these mint covers that are reflective of an aesthetic i fell into. I haven’t told secrets in a long time.
purple: what’s your astrological sign? what’s the best piece of advice you ever received? when’s the last time you followed your instincts? what’s your favorite food? what’s your secret dream?
Leo through and through. I believe it a bit more now. I think people settled into their personalities and the ideas seem less crazy. The best piece of advice is “Enjoy the pursuit, don’t pursue enjoyment.” Every day, can’t live without my instincts. My current favorite food is this salmon salad that I make! My secret dream is to live in the world of “The Last Dance” by xoStardust and marry John. Or be a demigod. Idk both sound good.
I wonder what it’s like to never lose a friend. It seems like you have the ability to never end on bad terms with someone and you’re just losing touch, not a friendship. How do you do it?
What is it like to be able to message anyone and ask “Hey, let’s catch up!” and never wonder if they remember you, resent you, or even hate you.
There’s pockets of memories that I have of you... and you.. and you.
We were like blood siblings. We could understand without speaking and sure, we didn’t share all of our principles, but when I was sad, when you felt hopeless, when it seemed like no one else cared, we did. I haven’t ever gone back. I remember exactly where I stood and what I was doing the day you called me.
On my day-to-day it no longer bothers me. I’ve accepted that you’re no longer here and it’s not my burden nor right to ask and care. But on days like today, when the memories come rushing back, I feel less bitter and mostly sad. sad for the years of friendship that were stolen and sad that I can’t exonerate you of blame.
You were always teaching me new things. How to think about the world, personal goals, future plans. Maybe I just wasn’t ready, too naive and hot-headed to hear what you were trying to show me. You made me feel so important and made it a point to tell me. I was never good with dates....
I’m still reckless with my words and emotions, but maybe (hopefully) now a little less destructive. You’ll probably never tell me what hurt the most and I’m still as dense as ever, even after these tries. so. for now. I’ll wallow in memories until one day I muster the courage to try again.
I could feel your disappointment. When I started taking on more, talking differently, dressing differently. It’s been so many years now that it feels like another memory not my own, of another lifetime. We held onto each other as everyone else came and went, but at the end of the day, maybe it was all in my head. Maybe you never chose me and it was just a matter of circumstance.
We live in a totally different realm now but at least I know you’re happy. At least you are thriving and making strides you had always talked about. I hope I’ve faded in your memories to be just “a childhood friend,” no sadness or disappointment, or yearning to reconnect. It’s probably better this way.

There’s something about this place that gives me comfort and room to mourn and process, even after all of these years.
Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he’s had nightmares or he can’t sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I’m always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text-tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me.
I think that since its been a year since I made this post its time for an update. In the past year I’ve watched this post grow and grow, people I work with have told me about it as “this post I saw the other day” and they have no idea it’s my post. The person I wrote this about has even reblogged it. He is no longer texting me at 4am. Not because we no longer speak but because the nightmares have stopped. He and I both are in a much better place. Most often the only times he’s waking me up at 4am is when he’s pulling me closer to him while we sleep. He’s more than a friend now and I’m forever thankful to have him. Everyone messaged me saying he was lucky to have me but I think I was just as lucky to have him and I would do it all over.
No significant recurring characters appear within the first 25 000 words of Les Misérables, the text’s initial fourteen chapters being occupied with a detailed biography of a priest who subsequently appears in one scene
In its authors’ notes, The Princess Bride claims to be an abridged edition of a 16th Century political satire that the editor’s father once read to him as a bedtime story; the movie is in turn purportedly based on this bedtime story version (which appears nowhere in the published text), making it an adaptation of a fictitious abridgement of a nonexistent novel
