One of the most fascinating relationships between animals is the one that seems to exist between wolves and ravens. The raven, scavenger of food of all types, will often follow wolf packs in hopes of morsels of food. And wolves have learned to watch for circling ravens as a sign of of possible food below. But there seems to be more than just a symbiosis based on food between the two species; many observations have been made that can only be described as a friendship between the big predator and the wily bird.
my botany professor: cork is harvested from the tree Quercus suber,most commonly in spain and portugal. the cork comes from the thick outer bark the tree produces; harvests are very technical and have to be done by hand, because removing all the bark without harming the tree is very intuition-based and can’t be accomplished via machine. instead, teams of highly skilled workers are tasked with using axes to carefully harvest the bark. it grows back completely in 10-15 years, whereupon the next harvest can take place. the trees can live up to 200 years and can undergo over 10 harvests in their lifetimes
me: hehee,,,…..the trees are nakey
nakey
(ID: partially stripped cork trees. they look nakey. end ID)
A friendly reminder for those of us who do very little during the day (by “normal” standards) but are still exhausted
Your body is literally fighting the pain. Fighting takes energy
I know this, but it is still bloody inconvenient to come home intending to Do Stuff, and instead here I am two hours later waking up groggy on the bed with the cat
I’ve been calling it “Pain Drain.” I’m sad that so many people know how about “pain drain” because they also experience it. 💙💙💙
I say we spread the news, because some people think when we limit activity because we’re in pain, that it’s some kind of vacation. We hate it. It’s no frickin’ picnic.
Since I’m almost always in pain it’s so weird when OTC painkillers actually work and I’m having a good day and nothing in my body hurts and it actually almost sort of freaks me out bc the only was I can describe it is “weightlessness.” I didn’t realize pain makes me feel “heavy” until I started having no pain days, and I really feel like I’m floating, even a little light-headed like I could be tipsy. It’s wild. when the pain subsides quickly, I feel almost like I’ll all asleep and I’m like “what’s wrong with me…oh I don’t hurt.” It’s strange!!!
It feelt like what I imagine being high would feel like
i love when pets just make up Rules and their humans are like “oh, fine.” my cat has a bedtime & he won’t go to sleep until we do. every night at 10:30 he starts trying to herd us up the stairs & now we, two grown ass humans, adhere to the bedtime of a 12 pound cat.
Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip
I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is
