Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Charmer. He was very relaxed. It was fun watching it, even if the movie was irritating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In critter news, EWWWW. Whitefonted:

An international group of scientists has described an animal that provides nutrition for its young by letting them peel off and eat its skin.

The worm-like amphibian develops a nutritious outer layer of skin, and looks "relaxed" while its young rips it off with their teeth.

The researchers say this kind of parenting has never been seen before in land-living animals.

Oh, that's nasty. Skin is, ironically, crawling.

Good thing about not having children then, isn't it?

Happy Birthday, Drew!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

OK, that's an ewww indeed. Except that since many animals regularly shed their skin anyway, it makes sense that it would be a way of nourishing the young, except that the intermediary step of actually shedding it doesn't happen.

Nature sucks, sometimes.

I'm not going to work today. But I am driving about 6 hours or so. ::sigh::

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There is this odd yellowish glow coming from the other room, and peeping around the edges of all of my window shades. I'm not sure what it is, but it makes me want to go outside and investigate.

My ears were so solidly blocked that I didn't hear my alarm go off. This is the first time I overslept in forever.

Not that much, because I'll still be leaving around the same time, but it's annoying. I have to get them unblocked, stat.
