That’s what I recall most - all the little flat pancakes of hedgehog all over the roads. Not a sight I’d want as my national symbol - roadkill.

Unfortunately (and the reason why I didn’t apply to adopt one) we have LOTS of cats and foxes in and out of our garden all day, so I don’t think that, if there are any hedgehogs in our neighborhood, they’re spending much time at our place, and putting out food would probably just encourage the other wildlife :(

Very much related:

It’s the little decorative swirlies that make it a tad less threatening. Just a tad, because now all we have is a really tacky racist on our hands.

That is over 100,000 eggs in her lifetime.

Bone up on your chess, so you’ll be ready to challenge Death when he comes to take you. To be on the safe side, also practice playing Battleship, Clue, Twister, and Electric Football.

I've never been told my turtle was tight before, but I'll take it. We tend to just say things like "Jolly Good" here in old England ha

That is exactly what I do in Canada. I’d also like to point out that this seems to work pretty well. I think there are two election workers per box, and almost everything is counted up within 30-60 minutes of polls closing.

Oh gods, I have just seen them. LOVE!!!!

Ohh thank you! I will definitely check them out. And I note that you are a shoe-buying enabler, excellent work!!

Yeah, no. You know full well the difference, and why women in a world where they deal with lifelong abuse, harassment, rape, and marginalization would find grim humor and satisfaction in a situation like this, and you know full well that none of those aspects are present in a gender-reversed situation. Don’t be…

pssst

You are living the life.

Holy crap. Meanwhile, I have (seriously, no lie) ten pairs. I can’t wear heels so I go for comfort - three pairs of Skechers, a pair of Nike mules, Nike running shoes, a pair of black and a pair of brown suede slip-ons, two pairs of sandals and a pair of beige slingbacks.

Flutterby Plant, it’s time for an intervention.

Hey IC makes some cute not-too-much shoes, I stand by my wedding shoes, with their killer robots. Granted this was like six years ago...

A lot of them are still kinda “wow, that’s too many colors on one shoe for me,” but I like that there’s a brand of quirky fun shoes that isn’t either cheap plasticky garbage, or Charlotte Olympia $$$$$$$. I have these ‘uns and adore both :

I do wonder if people actually end up wearing these sorts of shoes, they feel more to me like something you put up on display rather than put on your feet

Oh my! *fans self*

I lost 80 pounds and then got super discouraged by the way men started looking at me and how gross it made me feel. So I gained 20 back. (also, I have no self control. Give me cake, plz)
