for the past two years i have been sponsoring a tuberculosis detection rat in tanzania, her name is carolina. she sniffs sputum samples & alerts her handlers when she detects TB. recently she turned 8 & aged out of the program, so they held a retirement party for her & sent me photos.

while carolina moves on to live a life of rest & luxury in the retirement kennels, her role is being passed on to her successor, tamasha. she is 2 years old & was named after the grandmother of one of her handlers.

(with her handler priscus)
here is a description of tamasha:
"Tamasha is also quite playful! She enjoys jumping, climbing, and sometimes does a joyful little dance when placed in the TB evaluation enclosure – as if celebrating her enthusiasm for the work ahead. She’s also a big fan of avocado, her favorite treat for a job well done."
im not afraid to admit that this email made me cry like a stupid baby. you can sponsor your own big beautiful TB- or landmine-detecting rat through APOPO HeroRATS. they send you an update on how your rat is doing each month, including photos.

kind of obsessed with rowdy as a euphemism for queer in cloudward ho. you're rowdy. you're too loud. you cause trouble. you make me uncomfortable. you're not being how i want you to be. you go places and you do things that i don't think are proper. you don't live how i think you should live. and you're so in my face about it. you're one of those..... rowdies. like come ON that's so good.

i like how at five guys they're like oh you want one burger okay "ONE LITTLE BURGER" and then the guy cooking the burger is like "ONE LITTLE BURGER FOR BABY FAGGOTS THAT CAN ONLY HANDLE ONE PATTY COMING UP" and then if you can't finish it they make you wear a maid costume and handcuff you to the sink in the men's bathroom

And you know that if Evan and Sam were to ever get married, Sam would be the one to propose, because Evan would be too scared to ask her to stay with him forever

watching a video and realizing I miss the term "flame war", it was JUST tongue-in-cheek goofy enough of a term to describe how silly it was to carry on long arguments online over shit that doesn't matter and was often started/spurned by a troll. Now ALL of it is just "discourse" or "engagement" which feels like they put a godawful slap of PR paint over the surface of flame wars like a cheap landlord looking to charge 1000 dollars more for the same crumbling walls

ALSO can't stop thinking about daisuke/comfrey. they're so cute, actually. they met in their sixties, and still got married, and apparently had a lot of wink wink nudge nudge fun on that ship. it's just always nice to be reminded that just 'cuz ur older doesn't mean u don't fuck haha.
anyways, maybe they'll reveal more canon about it later but for now i'm imagining a wedding on the zephyr with the crew, and daisuke wearing a wedding kimono while comfrey wears a white dress, her veil and his haori flying in the wind 'cuz they're sailing in the sky, the clouds behind them.
it's just, like. the way she hesitates over his name when the broadcast comes on, saving it for last and calling him by his first name when it seems like the crew generally call him pappy. the way he watched over olethra and her family from afar for years, that he still does even though they divorced at some point in those years between then and now.
just. them!!!
