“Hey, so… you know that trouble I was having with that rabbit warren? Well, it turns out they’ve developed into a bronze age society, and I just don’t have what it takes to remove them now.”

(CW: animal death and injury)

It wasn’t the end of the world. Maybe if this place was my livelihood I’d start panicking or packing up, but it’s not. I’m a vet, I own my own home, and I’m not hurting if my vegetables get looted. The garden’s a hobby at best, and yeah, maybe it was Grandma’s pride and joy, but I warned her I killed my mom’s geraniums when she told me she was leaving me the house, so it’s not like she has room for disappointment.

If anything, the rabbits are lucky they picked my land to figure out civilization on, because I’m pretty sure my neighbor Carl would be dropping dynamite down the burrows in my shoes.

I won’t lie, I came close. Monster Truck got out while I wasn’t looking, and when he came hobbling home with a goddamn spearhead embedded in his leg, I was about ready to rain my own personal Iliad down on the little bastards. Lucky for them, treating arrow wounds on my cat gave me enough time to calm down and think. I figure it was self defense. I don’t like letting my cats outside off-harness anyway, and I would’ve been plenty upset if he’d come home with a dead bunny in his mouth.

Keep reading

Many people encouraging others to read Persepolis today, and while you are at it you should also read Woman, Life, Freedom, of which Satrapi was an editor. An anthology of comic-essays about the Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran. Rest in peace to the incredible Marjane Satrapi. May she inspire us all to keep creating a better world.

"Men say, that in this midnight hour, The disembodied have power To wander as it liketh them, By wizard oak and fairy stream,— Through still and solemn places, And by old walls and tombs, to dream, With pale, cold, mournful faces…." ~William Motherwell, "Midnight and Moonshine"

Dark kelpie vibe, for your viewing pleasure 🖤 Fun fact: "One of the water-kelpie's common identifying characteristics is that its hooves are reversed as compared to those of a normal horse, a trait shared with the 'nykur' of Iceland" (Wikipedia)
