i always thought of a king sized bed as being a bit bigger than a queen, but now that i have one, i can tell you that a king sized bed is an absurdity. i can sprawl out, and my husband can sprawl out, and the cat can sprawl out, and none of us are touching. i reach out in the night, and find only pillows and plush walruses. i reach further and eventually find his elbow. he rolls over the comforters to try and find me. “i have crossed oceans of bed to be with you,” he says. there is a vast expanse of bed untouched, unmapped, unexplored. the cat is still trying to sleep on my face.
ive been thinking and honest to god: i think i would actually join a girl gang if the offer came. like a legitimate, hierarchical, “let’s carry knives under our skirts and beat up men” gang. fuck college
bringing back the sukeban girl gangs from the 70’s that wore long skirts against teen sexualization and fucked things up for the patriarchy
and this was no “5 girls in a small town” who made the news—this was yakuza level shit. 20,000 girls getting into gang fights and shoplifting and getting pissed off that only men were allowed to be rough and violent and angry
Haha, yeah, sorry, I should have probably posted something about that! No big deal at all. It happens to Taako all the time, and almost never to Lup because she doesn’t take bigger bites than she can handle, because Lup is not an idiot. Well, Lup is less of an idiot.
So, axolotls “hunt” and “capture” “food” (plz note heavy sarcasm) by sucking water in through their mouth rapidly, like you can see my baby boy doing here. This sudden gulp causes a small vacuum that draws whatever they decide is food (almost never actually food) to get sucked in their mouth. To be able to create that vacuum, they can’t actually swallow the water… they have a lot of false misses, so they’d basically be 1000% full of water all the time if it all went into their tummy every time they tried to chomp on something. Instead, the water goes in through their mouth, and flows out from openings behind their gills. It’s really an incredibly efficient adaptation for bottomfeeders like axies… UNLESS!
UNLESS!
UNLESS YOU ALWAYS TAKE BITES THAT ARE WAY TOO BIG FOR YOU TO SWALLOW AND WORMS COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH BEHIND YOUR GILLS AND THEN YOU NEED TO FIND THEM AND SWALLOW THEM ALL OVER AGAIN!
