Today's birds are this Purple Martin family living in pipes that support anti-bird fencing at my local fish hatchery.

ELPHIE ENCOURAGING GLINDA
AND WE DON'T GET TO SEE IT
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
In Eternally Yours, there is a rule in the shared Upland-Thropp house. Elphaba knows it, Peaches and Liir know it. The only person who doesn’t know is Galinda. That rule is very simple:
If Galinda (Miss Upland) is asleep, excluding fire or bodily injury, DO NOT WAKE HER UP!
It doesn’t matter what time it is, what day it is, or any other circumstance. If Galinda is asleep, she is to be left alone until she wakes up.
That being said, Galinda falling asleep on Elphaba is like having a bomb strapped to her chest. On the rare occasion it happens, she can’t move, she can’t talk. She can’t even breathe too deep or Galinda might wake up. And if that happens, it’s unclear when or if she’ll get back to sleep in the next twelve hours. Elphaba can only pray during these moments that the kids stay occupied and that no one rings the damn doorbell.

Cats and small kids are curious about what you're doing in much of the same way. Sometimes when you seem to be up to something, they want to see what it is. If you try to keep a cat from sniffing something to find out what it is, they'll keep insisting, louder and louder, "let me sniff, let me sniff, LET ME SNIFF, LET ME SNIFF!!" until you do.
And then they sniff at it for two seconds and go "oh, oooh. Now I get it. Don't care" and wander off. But the demand to know will remain for as long as the thing is kept from them.
This one time when I was in nursing school, I had a training period in a kindergarten. One day I was chatting with one of the workers, telling her about this one time when I was in Kentucky due to my boyfriend at the time living there, and I saw this huge locally native spider-
And then I got interrupted by this one specific kid - a four-year-old boy who had taken a liking to me, sharp as hell and never missed a single thing. Looking at me with a deeply baffled, wide-eyed frown that kids that age do when Shit Does Not Add Up, he asked me: Boyfriend? If you're a boy, why did you have a boyfriend?
Not sure what else to say, I just shrugged and said that it happens sometimes, sometimes men fall in love with men or women fall in love with women. And I could practically observe in real time as his confusion disappeared in a blink, as this previously completely unfathomable piece of information entered his brain, was swiftly processed, and instantly filed into "boring grownup shit that I don't care about". He only had one follow-up question:
"What happened to the spider?"
can we all agree that it's pathetic when so-called "friends" try to sabotage your opportunities? you're clearly jealous that the amulet of eternal darkness chose me and no amount of "please fight it, i know you're still in there somewhere" is going to change that. crab bucket mentality. grow up.
