When foxes discovered the fairy penguins living on Middle Island off the coast of Australia, their numbers were decimated. The population plummeted from 800 birds to fewer than ten in 2005. A local chicken farmer had the idea to station two sheepdogs on the island to chase off the foxes – and it worked. The fairy penguin population on Middle Island is now at 250 and climbing. (x)

From my private meme collection. Since I also work as an editor I often have to remind myself there aren’t actually any rules in writing. I’m happiest when I let myself follow my obsessions, my interests, my fancies and caprices–even if that means it doesn’t “make sense,” or the results are weird, or I never finish it, or no one ever wants to read it or publish it, or it’s 5 words long, or it’s written on toilet paper, or whatever. Sharing for whoever needs to hear this today <3

My mom crocheted a blanket, and one of the cats kept trying to lay on it the whole time she was working on it and every time she put it down.

So she used the extra yarn to make him a tiny one and he loves it so much 😭

A mama lynx decided this Alaskan porch was a good spot to give birth. 

I guess when a giant cat decides to have kittens on your porch, you have to let nature take its course.
