in guarani there's a standard greeting that literally translates to "are you happy" (ndevy'apa) and the natural reply is "i'm happy" (avy'a) and as americans learning the language we were so distressed like "but what if we're not happy....." and our teachers were like "that's so not the fucking point"

we kept trying to think of any other way to reply but our teachers kept trying to get it into our brains that it's an idiomatic greeting, it literally is not the time or place to traumadump, and as usamerican english speakers we are not some special exception for saying "what's up" with the reply being "not much" instead of "the ceiling"

but anyway while i was working in paraguay -- the country with the largest population of guarani speakers -- i got sent an article by some friends back home like "look! they're saying that paraguay is the happiest country in the world!"

and the methodology was "we went around and asked paraguayans if they're happy and recorded their responses" and i was like. oh. of course you did. and of course you got a 100% positive response rate.

I'm not a trained conservationalist but I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to feed random people food to endangered animals

I moved him off my chair and he bit the fuck out of my arm (playfully) but joke's on him, my hoodie sleeves are more powerful than his teeth

Diesel in amped up for some reason tonight. He's being all 'oooh snuggle with me I'm normal' buddy I know when you're bitey.

Amazed to report that it is soft

Diesel is so much softer than he looks and I'm never prepared for it, it's like petting a cloud

I'm chopping them up into tiny bits with my chainsaw and filling the bottom of the raised garden beds that I'm putting where said tree branches used to be growing

The circle of life

This is how the raised garden beds are coming along btw. I need to put sides on them and construct 2 more on the other side but I have run out of sealant for the cuts and screw holes. Once they're done I'm gonna build a woodchip path between them and put a trellis over the top for climbing plants.

I'm not in a hurry with this project as I'll probably end up using them for compost bins for awhile before using them as garden beds and they'll be easier to use as compost bins if I don't finish constructing them just yet.

I picked up my bag and thought "well this is fucking heavy" and put it back down again and looked inside

I was able to rescue my sandwich intact

That's what Mum said but mine refuse to try it

My mum gave me a giant silverbeet plant so I eat silverbeet now I guess. I'm a silverbeet person.
