Evaluating animal-themed rabbit color names

1. Agouti

pretty good. 9/10

2. Fawn

i thought this will be a very poor fit but seeing them next to each other it's not that bad. still. 5.5/10

3. Chinchilla

that rabbit is sure chinchilla colored. 10/10

4. Magpie

both being vaguely black-and-white does not actually make two animals very similar. 1/10

5. Ermine

mmhm. needs a black tailtip. 7/10

6. Squirrel

if you're watching them from far away. squinting. in rain. 3/10

7. Lynx

not that much similarity but i love lynxes so 8/10

8. Otter

oooh, i get it now, because the lighter chests. still not a great choice 3/10

9. Fox

you know what, this one is fine. The black parts don't exactly match but the impression is good 8.5/10

10. Marten

um. what. 3/10

yeah yeah it's "silver" and i assume they meant the beech marten but i still think it's a poor name

11. Seal

i can see the similarity, especially with the eared seals. hehe. 8/10

12. Sable

honestly not that bad but sable is such an overused and inconsistent name in animal color genetics i'll deduct some points for it 6/10

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

It is genuinely wild to watch babies become little individuals. I've never really spent much time around babies or toddlers before now, and I'm not interested in having any myself, but now there are three kids under three years old in my life and watching them in those first few years is a real experience.

The almost-three-year-old is reading a little, doing sums, speaking in full sentences, and very firm about what she does and doesn't want. So is the one-and-a-half-year-old, but she can't always vocalize what it is she wants yet. She is a little mischievous and you can see her watching you for a reaction and enjoying the reaction she gets when she does something funny.

I spent the morning recently sitting the almost-one-year-old and he can't talk but can very clearly accept or decline food, demand affection, and reject attempts to play if he doesn't like them. For a while we turned it into a game -- I would push his little soft mousie close to where he was sitting and he would very firmly push it away with his feet while laughing at me because he foiled my cunning attack.

My favorite part is seeing them light up when they see their parents. I've never seen anyone smile as wide and bright as when they've been playing perfectly calmly with me but then their parents arrive home. I don't know when the official milestone for facial recognition is, but it's very young -- an infant might not be scared of you, they might even like you, but they know you aren't Parent, and Parent is the source of security and good in the world. Really cool to see. And thinking I might be part of their lives until they're adults themselves is exciting. Nerve-wracking, but exciting.

I should start some kind of tag, I talk about Toddler U and Baby L and Baby A often enough. I'll have to come up with a fun one that I'll remember.

idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this

[greelin]

seeing people drive erratically then pulling up next to them and they’re on that goddamn cell phone…. i’m going to reach over and snatch that thing. and eat it
