On the other end of the scale, I spent one summer doing operetta summer stock at an outdoor theatre on a working historical farm. There were peacocks, but they didn't bother anyone, because they were in a pen far from the stage.
The reason they were in a pen and far from the stage was because years ago, when they roamed free all summer, they would come sit in the bushes and trees during performances, and spend the whole time yelling at the opera singers. The opera singers Did Not Like This. It was not considered to be conducive to performances. Thus, the pens.

crying over how 'majestic' peafowl are
#opera#peafowl#rest assured they were well taken care of and spent plenty of time roaming free in a scenic sort of way for the benefit of daytime tourists#and the peacocks got to be out too

Herding sheep, looking after kids, and playing healer in videogames: every day you're surprised of the sheer innovative genius of how they'll find the most inconvenient goddamn places just outside your reach to get hurt or put themselves in lethal danger.

Okay, so, I saw this post by @whumpster-fire (link below) and thought... You know, I was looking for a new October Drawing Challenge.
Y'all, I present to you, Jolene-ber
Week 1: short week. Warm up for those who wanna. Dolly's classic Jolene
Week 2: now we're getting serious. Jolene, who the singer is secretly in love with. (I mean, for some of you week 1 and week 2 are the same and I respect your truth)
Week 3: Fae Queen Jolene. Use as many Tamlin references as you like. I'm here for them.
Week 4: Jolene, the Reaper. This idea has throttled me and will not let go. I'm getting a little weird about it.
Week 5: Eldritch Horror Jolene. Go ahead, kids, go nuts. It's for spooky month, after all.

We've got 99 problems and a surprising number of them can be boiled down to "The existence of billionaires is incompatible with democracy"

For some reason we were given access to custom emojis on teams and it took people less than 24 hours to add the logo of the local unemployment office and start using it as a reaction when something goes wrong or upper management announces another shit decision
