Poor little guy. So sad, so pitiful.

Forced to go run errands while it's raining and windy.

Poor little puffball who was nearly swept away by the wind.

He sits in the stores having flashbacks to the war he fought with the wind on the way here

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

Just learned this absolutely delightful bit of etymology:

During the 15th century, the English had an endearing practice of granting common human names to the birds that lived among them. Virtually every bird in that era had a name, and most of them, like Will Wagtail and Philip Sparrow have been long forgotten. Polly Parrot has stuck around, and Tom Tit and Jenny Wren, personable companions of the English countryside, are names still sometimes found in children’s rhymes. Other human names, however, have been incorporated so durably into the common names that still grace birds as to almost entirely obscure their origin. The Magpie, a loquacious black and white bird with a penchant for snatching shiny objects, once bore the simple name “pie,” probably coming from its Roman name, “pica.” The English named these birds Margaret, which was then abbreviated to Maggie, and finally left at Mag Pie. The vocal, crow-like bird called Jackdaw was also once just a “daw” named “Jack.”  The English also gave their ubiquitous and beloved orange-bellied, orb-shaped, wren-sized bird a human name. The first recorded Anglo-Saxon name for the Eurasian Robin was ruddoc, meaning “little red one.” By the medieval period, its name evolved to redbreast (the more accurate term orange only entered the English language when the fruit of the same name reached Great Britain in the 16th century). The English chose the satisfyingly alliterative name Robert for the redbreast, which they then changed to the popular Tudor nickname Robin. Soon enough, the name Robin Redbreast became so identified with the bird that Redbreast was dropped because it seemed so redundant.

Attention, rare sightings of the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork 🦩 🖤

“From the back, Vetinari looked like a carnivorous flamingo.” - Men at Arms

“Thin, pale, and clad all in dusty black, the Patrician always put Ridcully in mind of a predatory flamingo, if you could find a flamingo that was black and had the patience of a rock.” - Reaper Man

I know there are people out there genuinely struggling with shortened attention spans and doomscrolling but I cannot relate bc jstor is right there. Doomscrolling? No, academic paper scrolling. We are reading about coming of age rites in ancient Greece and changing uses of allegorical imagery in the baroque period and 16 other cool articles we found on the way to those. Attention span issues? Most articles are less than 50 pages. I can get through a long one broken up throughout the day without any effort or pound 5 shorter ones back to back in one sitting if I really feel like. Its even on your phone so instead of other shit you can jstor instead. Also I'm sure to spend at least 10 minutes during one of these bouts just sitting there digesting some crazy fucking thing I've read like this

Like I don't have attention span issues anyway but I can't help but think a lot of people who are stuck on their phones and have trouble doing things that aren't mindlessly consuming content could get a much better alternative if they just scrolled jstor instead-- its all the same actions but like mentally stimulating instead of brain-cell-killing. And like you don't even need to pay, you can get like 100 free articles a month. Anyway

It's a little surprising that the "Monday's child is fair of face" nursery rhyme never caught on as an arbitrary personality-assigner in the same way astrology did. It makes the same amount of sense.
