So...Mammals normally store fat under the skin in an even layer, but camels evolved to pile fat in one spot, so the rest of their bodies can stay cool in the desert. Why don't other desert animals do this? Well, they do.... but for some reason, we never talk about them..... 🧵🧵

The slugs ate the flower spike on my biggest Aeonium tabuliforme plant so now it's growing lots of small flower spikes. Hopefully I will end up with some seeds after all. #SucculentSunday #aeonium #succulents

I wanna talk about the disabled angels: there's so many 'in heaven they will finally be free of their wheelchair' and 'they will be made whole again in heaven' narratives around disabled people, so to see visibly disabled angels means everything, thank you @neilhimself #GoodOmens

Sinéad O'Connor's death at 56 was a gut punch, even if it wasn't a big surprise. I explore why this is affecting so many of us. She was, in a sense, a martyr. The world became more of what she wanted, but she never got to be part of that. salon.com/2023/07/27/sinad-o…
