Imagine being a black woman in the 70s going to school to get a doctorate in nuclear science and putting up with all the bullshit that a black woman would go through in 70s academia, getting your doctorate and working with the military, probably constantly dealing with big brash soldier men who dont respect you and always talk over you despite your education qualifications, craving peace and quiet out in this beautiful wilderness, striking out on your own for just a brief moment, and the first sign of anything unusual happening is a fucking elongated rat STOAT running up to you and being like

[ID: an illustration of two stoats on a green background, surrounded by simple plants. One has a summer coat - brown with a white underbelly, and is positioned at the top in a curved position. The other has a winter coat - white with a black tail tip - and is positioned at the bottom, curled up to form a circular composition with the first stoat. End.
