Aw, nerts.

I like to spend my pocket money on antique fripperies, tchotchkes, gewgaws, knicknacks and kitsch. I don't have 20 thingamabobs yet, but I'm working on a limited budget here. Who cares. NBD. I want more. Here I'll share samplings from my junk heap and any new finds I may be adding to it. Indulge me, a girl needs her hobbies.

its kind of sad that bugs are so weak. it dishonors their noble biology. i guess this is is why crustaceans are so admirable. imagine for a moment, an unsquishable bug. such is the way of the crab

gamers aren’t so much a sub culture as they are a group of people that marketers were able to create so they could sell more expensive toys

Have you seen Gracie? Officials in Texas search for missing giraffe

Gracie the giraffe is described as having rounded ears. She went missing from a ranch in Real County.

im crying dude

[fandomsandfeminism]

Yeehaw yall. Gracie is on the run.

[fandomsandfeminism]

To answer some common questions in the tags:

1. How do you lose a Giraffe? She apparently scaled a cliff that served as part of the enclosure (which the other giraffes in the herd had shown no interest in climbing.)

2. Well it should be easier to find her, she's a whole ass giraffe? Yeah, you'd think, but Texas ranches are fuckin huge. The man has apparently hired a helicopter and several drones to aide the search, but no luck yet. She's been seen on some game cameras on the nearby ranches though. But she's sneaky.

3. Why does a random guy in Texas have a herd of giraffes? Because it's Texas and we have basically no exotic animal regulations. No really. If you have enough land out in the hill country, you can just own stuff. It's fuckin nuts.

[nochd]

What's sending me is the "described as having rounded ears", as if to distinguish her from other stray giraffes that concerned neighbours might encounter.

[captaindibbzy]

I mean given Texas apparently has no exotic animal regulation the fact you might encounter another stray giraffe is low, but not zero.

There are fake dragonflies they sell to scare away horseflies and there's a great image that goes with them

i think it’s really important that everyone knows that this man (Luis Soriano) has his own children’s books

and the donkeys are called Alfa and Beto, by the way. if you even care
