The computer is a machine built for looking at pictures of fish you wouldn't otherwise see. Anything else you can do with a computer was an accident and unintended

ETERNAL LOVE (2017) "Even if you have to pay with your life for the bad things you have done, I will follow you in death. Here, in this world, no matter when, no matter where, as long as you do not betray me, I will never leave you."

Text: Being cousins with death comes with a strange curse. When someone nearby is about to die, I start seeing their face in the mirror instead of my own. Begrudgingly, I become a detective.

I had an interview with a local paper this week about this rock snake I started on the longest street of a nearby city (where I work) because it's bringing people so much joy:

I said something during the interview that the interviewer seemed really shocked by, so in case it's important for anyone else to hear: When asked about the rock snake and some scavenger hunts that I've hosted for adults, I said -

"We don't stop enjoying the things we liked as kids; they just stop being offered to us. And when you're a kid, fun things like art projects and scavenger hunts are always brought to you, so you're not taught to make a habit of seeking them out as and adult."

She said "Wow yeah... life is so stressful... and you don't think to... wow."

So if anyone else needs direct permission to be a whimsical adult child today, I hereby grant it to everyone. ❤️

We raise our cockatrices with care, but eat them before they get too big. As a child I was allowed to save just one, free to grow to it’s proper size, guard the farm and all of our lives.

Being on Tumblr from ten years ago until now and seeing how it's aged is so funny. When I first got here everything was like "haha lol so random, superwholock, taquitos, tumblr university!" but today I just scrolled past three different memes about tax season

Snipe eel is the perfect name for that thing

Even such a barbarian can tell that you’re barely an ape. Who do you call an ape?! I’m not even close! Stop squeaking!

Human guide: humans are capable of eating almost anything.

Alien thinks about the time their human friend refused to eat for a whole evening when they were served pizza with pineapple on it. "Well, it does say almost everything."

Human guide: humans can suffer grevious injuries and still keep going.

Alien thinks back to the time their human friend had to sit and cry for thirty minutes after stubbing their toe. "That doesn't sound right."

Human guide: human culture indicates they are a vicious predatory species and excellent at the art of combat.

Alien thinks back to the time their human accidentally swatted a butterfly and held a funeral for the insect. "Okay, this thing doesnt know what it's talking about." *throws guide away.*
