I LOVE THE MANED RAT ALSO KNOWN AS THE AFRICAN CRESTED RAT

I will never understand the "mouse good and cute, rats evil and icky" stuff in media. It's everywhere, and it's... weird.

"Rats are more violent than mice" is true... but "rats spread more disease than mice" is not, and "rats aren't as cute as mice" makes no sense if you just... look at real ones.

Like... real rats looks nothing like the demonized rat caricatures you see. They just look like bigger mice with longer muzzles. They're not sharper or rougher anywhere.

I don't get it....

Where does it even come from? It's not like the people who have to deal with mice and rats would like mice.

✨feel real is a song i wrote in 2020. a lot of things have happened since 2020, but Arizona raspberry iced tea is still a dollar.

feel real was the first proper mistakeboi song. it took me almost 4 years to put it out because i am scared of everything. and i guess it's about that too. i am still scared but now i am also putting out a song!

if you're also scared, maybe you'll like feel real. and if you're not scared, well, that's fine. i won't hold it against you! links: bandcamp | spotify

i like a lot of things about this little song and i am happy for the opportunity to share it with you. gg!! ✨

this would be assassins creed in a universe where knives are rats.

After nearly 20 years of trying to increase the red-headed vulture population, this endangered baby vulture was born in March at the Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo in northeast Thailand. The endangered bird is the first red-headed - also known as Asian king vulture - to be bred in the continent and only the second in the world. X

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?
