GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH
If you haven't heard of Julia Donaldson, she's primarily a picture book author, who we can thank for extremely popular Halloween classic Room on the Broom as well as the Gruffalo.
Let this be a testament to the power of picture books.
I'm living for these jokes.
Also I need "GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH" on a T-shirt.

HE BROKE THE RECORD
Senator Cory Booker just broke the all-time record for the longest Senate floor speech, speaking for over 24 hours without a pause (no food, no bathroom breaks, only water to drink) as a protest against Trump and Musk and what they're doing.
The previous record was set in 1957, when Strom Thurmond spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes protesting the Civil Rights Act.
Senator Booker has blown past that record, currently at 25 hours and still speaking as of 8 pm local time. Respect.

so as you might have guessed because I said I was camping in the woods to avoid getting sick (lol):
someone in my household has covid unfortunately but we did manage to get them a Paxlovid subscription. they’re uninsured, and even GoodRx coupons only brought the cost down to $1,300 USD.
I thought to check the drug manufacturer website and quickly signed up online through its portal and received a pharmacy card by email that lowered the cost to $0
There are also options for insured patients to dramatically lower their copays. I’m in the U.S., and I’m unsure whether this is applicable elsewhere, but I wanted to share this info on access to potentially lifesaving medication, for anyone it may help!

Where are our boops? Or crabs? We demand animal interaction! And by we i mean i.
The votes are in
The polls are closed and it's official, with over 1800 votes cast (!) and only 4% voting against it (!?!?!) - the overwhelming majority of you voted that we are doing All Nut April to promote the Slur Song.
God help us.
While you're of course free to partake in any way you see fit, here are the official groundrules to try keep this thing from veering off a cliff:
- To be eligible, you must nut every day in April (duh)
- We don't want you all getting mass nuked, so to acknowledge your participation, only reply to or reblog this post with the single word 'nut' if you achieve your daily quota.
- (To be very clear, if you are under 18 please don't do any of the above as we don't want to attract unsavory people to your blogs)
- We are not discriminating when it comes to the definition of nut. All genders and abilities may partake if you feel you have achieved a personal nut. Maybe you could even just eat a pecan every day. The rules are vague and tbh unlikely to hold up in a court of law.
- No NSFW reblogs on the official nut post please and thankyou, if you'd like to go ham on the hashtag or something go nuts (badum), but be sure to mark any NSFW materials as such for your fellow nutters who may be casually browsing the tag at the post office
- The most important thing is to have fun and/or stream the slur song
Happy nutting. There is 24 hours to spread the word, so be plentiful with that reblog button.

I dreamed the Pope announced a new deadly sin called 'sluttony' and everybody was really excited to try it.

"Genesis", Oil on canvas by Matthew Cornell
i want to offer a few corrections to this post: it wasn't the Triassic, it was the Protoerozoic. not 250 million years ago, but 2.4 billion years ago. and it wasn't pink before, then red, it was both at the same time. the pink came from cyanobacteria, and the red came from the iron oxide that flooded the sea during The Great Oxygen Catastrophe.
The surface-dwelling cyanobacteria flooded the earth with Oxygen through en-masse photosynthesis, and then died, because they couldn't live in the highly oxygenated environment they created. the oxygen would seep into the oceans and bond with iron at the bottom, forming iron oxide.
this is what turned the seas red, and also what created these gorgeous banded iron formations (first discovered in northern Michigan in 1844, they make up about 60% of all iron reserves)
