Have you seen the movie "the devils" by ken russell?

I have not my, my child. It sounds quite frightening. But I do enjoy myself a good scare on occasions, so I shall keep it in mind the for the next time such a mood strikes me

also England is very nice to walk around! really beautiful! It's not England's fault that the tories are fucking it up the ass (in an uncomfortable lubeless loveless way)

what a beautifully vulgar sentiment

If you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of mee

[fucknovegans]

heard of the new movie okja? Korean/American film about a genetically modified super pig and it's best friend living in a forest and escaping the evil meat industry. Includes a sympathetic look at the terrorist group Animal Liberation Front, or at least ignorant of the history of that name.

I’ve seen it on Netflix, but I don’t know anything about it besides what you just said.

What do you know you don't know about frogs?

I often feel I know basically nothing about frogs. I can reliably ID maybe 400 frog species? But there are over 7600 species described. There are whole reams of literature about the frog brain, or the eye, or the kidney, or limb regeneration, or learning behaviour — that I have never even scratched the surface of. There are things that are mysteries to my mind, that other people surely have studied in detail and know a great deal about.

That's part of the pleasure: there is always something new to learn; and also part of the challenge: distinguishing between what I don't know, versus what nobody knows. Because only the latter makes for useful research.

Frank dear, what's your haircare routine?

Hair, like a body, is home to a vast and subtle ecology of microorganisms, so let's not try to get too complicated.
