muahaha, tumblr poll that asks how i turn out if the nearest depiction of an animal suddenly comes to life. it's very rare that that's not a photo of vivi

huh, the flag of greece looks really horrible

tortoises seem to have a surprising range of movement speed. like often they’re very slow but then they at times they can go a lot faster

from 2026 i bid you all welcome to this new year. unless you’re in a time zone that got to it first in which case i hope you’re having a good one.

a downside of reading recent lesbian romances is that writing enjoyable books and thinking "women and nonbinary people" is a natural class are not necessarily anti-correlated

also all the other military orders but yk if it weren't for the fash winning the civil war the spanish ones could maybe have stayed dissolved

kinda fucked up that the the spanish military orders still exist.

i enjoyed metropolis but it has a lot of flaws as a film.

it's kinda fun that a fruit that i otherwise only know of from mentions in like, british television shows, i ate for the first time here and actually fairly frequently (well, things made from it)

quince/membrillo

for some reason today vivi has decided that her favorite place to play with her mouse is next to the cleaning cabinet that is sufficiently low that if she knocks it under the cabinet she can't get it out.

like, every time i throw the mouse for her, she goes and grabs it, then goes and brings it to that spot and plays with it a little while, and if she manages not to lose it then she takes it somewhere else (such as back to me)

kitties have such cute little mouths.

vivi likes to play fetch with her mouse toy

but i think she doesn't quite get that in order for me to throw it again she needs to actually bring it back to me. so sometimes she brings it to like, the doorway of the bedroom and drops it there and sits there watching me
