The oriental hornet has body pigments that absorb sunlight and create a small electrical effect in its exoskeleton, so it may use a tiny solar trick built into its body.

Eric Andre is Jewish btw. I feel like a lot of people assume he isn't bc of racism or bc they assume every word out of his mouth is sarcastic but he is Jewish and has talked about it.

In a life without time, Annie was left waiting. Upon a chance rescue, she and the other ones that had been experimented on, she is taken outside the facility for the first time in her memory, only find how limited her knowledge is, and that the outside word is a hellscape of monsters, liars, and ravenous aliens that blend into the surrounding area.

With no sense as how to navigate this strange new world, Annie and the others will have to rely on their wits and the few people they think they can trust.

If there is one thing that Hero Stutz is, is misnamed. Never really amounting to much, a failure at most things, he is trying not to run his family's bookstore into the ground as he attempts to write something after the success of his first three novels. One day, as the world takes a sharp turn for the worst, Hero does something unimaginable and lives up to his name, rescuing the stubborn, annoyingly logical minimalist, Matilda, a foreigner who is trapped without hope of escape.

In a world where a city becomes an island and families are torn apart, hope may not spring eternal, but resilience will.

!!! the skeletons aren't fully mineralized yet !!!! 🎉 vet thinks we can keep her spay appointment next week! getting supplies just in CASE she goes before then to be prepared, but glad to be wrong about how close she was to whelping, lol. yaaay. the vet DID say she can see six or seven on xray So Far 😱 but we think we can safely spay next week.

the vet and techs were all really shocked by how sweet and stable she is and one was even like "she kind of acts like a service dog?" which I took to mean she was observing the same stuff that I was when I was thinking yesterday that she seems like she has received some positive reinforcement training. she's a very mysterious dog. she needed to take her Emotional Support Cow Ear with her to the x-ray, but she wasn't guard-y about it at all when the techs picked it up to give back to her if she dropped it etc.

so ummm... who wants the world's Sweetest Baby Pitbull? 😂 she should be ready for a new home once healed from her spay, if no one claims her. I'd keep her if it was at all practical, she's the world's sweetest lovingest doggie.

Dog is in northeast Georgia (Habersham county) but we can probably meet halfway somewhere. Hit me up if you're interested in her and I can answer questions! she turned up just two days ago so I'll know more about her after she's been spayed and recovered a bit but it doesn't hurt to start putting feelers out now.
