I prefer a cast-iron skillet myself, but to each her own.

Hey, so good question! Beekeeping is probably one of the less invasive forms of animal agriculture, but it’s still about taking a bodily fluid the bees made for themselves, and sometimes weighing production against the bees’ best interests. I’m not vegan, and I do it honey from time to time, for what it’s worth.

So…

Sure, they’re cute until you innocently brush up against one during the course of conducting field work... :)

Hello - your friendly neighborhood ecologist here! There are four different taxonomic groups of bees, the most well known of which being Apini (honeybees) and Bombini (bumblebees). Female (worker and queen) bumblebees don’t have barbed stingers and can sting multiple times. Happily for us, they are really chill and…

High school me was the type of edgelordette that would totally have stuffed her clear backpack full of creepy dolls.

They may as well have appointed the dentist who killed Cecil.

I have four - two girls, two boys. The girls love us and like attention. The boys you can only pet without being scratched if you have food in the other hand. 2/4 ain’t bad?

12 year old babysitter me rammed my shoulder into a glass door that I thought was jammed whilst trying to chase the 120 lb yellow lab of the family I was sitting for that had run onto the busy road. The door shattered, but luckily I wasn’t hurt and I was able to clean up all the glass without the kids or doggo getting…

Mine are crooked too, but I was 13 and begged my mom to go, so I can’t blame her.

Are we 100% sure he isn’t a Trump cousin?

Me too!

Trust 45 to be grotesque enough to turn an event where 17 people, mostly children, died into a self-insertion fanfic. *barf*

This was my experience too. I was really scared to get treatment, and I don’t even know why. Going on antidepressants made a huge and almost instant difference for me, and I wished I had done it sooner.

What kind of knock-off Nyan Cat is that? Only the OG Nyan Cat is worthy of recognition!

I call it The Litter Box Blues

I’ve had variable luck with Holiday Inn Express. It seems like various locations change their pet friendly status, but when they are pet friendly, they allow cats. Last time I had to do this (last November), I used La Quinta. Interstate moves with cats are greaaaat...

Animal welfare laws are generally done state-by-state, but there are hardly any, and certainly not Florida, that extend any sort of legal protection to species beyond cats and dogs. My understanding is that this kid posted Instagram pictures of or talked about shooting or otherwise maiming frogs, lizards, chickens,…

He’s still on SVU. They brought him back after like a million years. I guess he had been really deep undercover. Or something.

It’s my husband’s birthday on Monday, so I’m making him an “orange blossom” cake with Cointreau, fresh orange zest and honey.
