There’s a wikipedia list of fictional mustelids but also a separate list of just the badgers.

So people don’t believe me when I say i share a campus with a zoo. So have some zoo students walking some donkeys and a mini horse. This photograph is proof. Taken from the window of my bio classroom.

omg. MSU is a zoo/farm school but it’s also a giant campus (the biggest, actually) so rarely do the history students cross paths with cows by accident.

I think the #1 reason we need to initiate our mothers into anarchism is because anarchists are always freeing captive animals and then being really, really bad at being their moms.

Well, I don’t know about you guys but when I was in my early 20s, my mom had to make a “no roadkill in my house” rule as well as a “no random pitbulls in my house” and, after she found out Megan’s parents rand into this situation, a “no sick or dying baby goats in my house” rule. 

I think that “no thousands of angry minks recently liberated from a fur farm in my house” was unspoken but very clear.

I mean I think the unwritten rule in our collective houses is something like “no thousands of angry minks recently liberated from a fur farm in my house because you aren’t even responsible enough to take the trash out on a regular basis.”

every day on my dash i’m like “is this a post from a makeup blog or a rat blog?” because rat owners are straight-up fabulous

so i made a blog to appreciate how fabulous rodent companions are

Bookmarking for poetry reasons, including these:

a walk of snails

a rout of snails

a knot of toads

a knot of snakes

a streak of tigers, but tigers are stupid things to write poems about

a pitying of turtle doves

a congregation of starlings

a bed of eels

a clutch of chickens

a gulp of swallows

a wedge of swans

a drift of swine

a sounder of boars

a volary of birds, for obvious reasons

I am left with questions about many passerines, of course, but there is

a bellowing of bullfinches

a charm of goldfinches

a smack of jellyfish

and of course

a mischief of rats
