hey, has anyone figured out how to live with the despair yet? asking for a friend

[mumblingsage]

Forgot the word 'distraught,' almost described someone as 'emotionally disheveled.'

[mumblingsage]

I'm in favor of this one catching on, to be clear.

the fact that all of my mutuals immediately reblogged this from me really says something about all of us, doesn't it

I know it is a privilege to feel things deeply, but what the fuck.

unrestrained summer fun

Right before I scrolled down I mumbled “unrestrained summer fun” to myself and then yelled when I saw the caption.

do we think anyone in the history of human civilization has found a quick and easy cheat code for transitioning out of “work friends” and into “friend friends”? i feel so much affection for these people! we tell each other things that normal colleagues can’t possibly be sharing! i hang out with them at work at 10pm sometimes! how do i speak to them outside of our work kitchen!!!

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then

[ID: Bugs Bunny in a suit meme, edited to read "I wish all Etruscan shrews a very pleasant brain-regrowing season."]

It's spring! [x]

[fiercestpurpose]

Happy first day of spring!

[fiercestpurpose]

I happen to think this is a) an incredibly fun fact and b) a pretty funny way to convey it, but despite my efforts (reblogging this once a year), I have yet to get “brain regrowing season” to take off.

Some additional Etruscan shrew facts:

They’re the smallest mammal if you measure by mass, coming in at under 2g. That’s tiny.

Because they’re so small, their volume to surface area ratio is messed up, and they are constantly in danger of their body temperature dropping. Their very high metabolism is what keeps them alive.

Their brains can shrink by up to 28% over the winter, so that they don’t have to keep it warm and fed during the coldest season.

They don’t even live where it’s super cold — as the name suggests, they’re found around the Mediterranean, as well as in parts of Southeast Asia. But they’re very sensitive to the cold, on account of being tiny.

They’re so tiny!!! 😭😭😭

#would love to see a picture of these little dudes
