[ID: A video of a grey shorthaired cat, standing in a puddle of water on a dirt road; as the cat splashes in the water, it has a wild look in its eye, and occasionally seems confused as to why it is wet at all.]
This is why I keep blogging chores as I do them so I can show myself that I’ve actually done plenty, and it helps me see that if I show other people, too, whether they interact with those posts or not.
Martin Luther King once convinced her to continue on as Uhura when she was about to quit. He told her how she was a role model for so many people and had to stay on. He rightfully recognized her as a trailblazer and the inspiration she continued to be.

What I love most about ofmd is that it doesn’t make sense. Distance? Irrelevant. Timeline? Doesn’t matter. Accents? They exist. Historical accuracy? Hardly know her. We’re here to watch gay pirates stare longingly into each other’s eyes and kiss a little bit. Nothing else matters. It’s beautiful.
[ID: 1. Lucius leans close into Pete’s side with a dimply grin, asking “Hey Pete, do you have a map?” Looking confused, Pete stutters back “Huh? Um…” 2. Lucius leans even closer, grin widening, and continues, “Because I’m lost in your eyes…” Pete hunches up his shoulders and looks away, flustered and laughing, holding his hands up as if to ward away the flirting. “OMG stop!!” /end ID]
A reconstruction of a female coastal moa (Euryapteryx curtus), also called the broad-billed or stout-legged moa, built for the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in 2006. [x]
Adult females of this species could be over twice the size of adult males. Individuals from the southern part of the country were larger and more robust than those from the north.
This moa species also had an elongated windpipe similar to some modern-day swans and cranes, suggesting it could make loud, resonating calls: “The windpipe included a loop up to one metre long that ran downwards inside the left side of the body, and across to the other side before it doubled back on itself to the breast and into the lungs.” [x]
