Bruce Bernard II

Hello!

Most people do like people. They just don't get to see everyone as people, sadly.

Hello!

The geese on campus do not, I repeat, do not, want to be friends.

Hello!

Someone asked me the other day if bears have 'all this trans stuff' and of course we do, why wouldn't we? In this day and age? With modern medicine? But I guess when you lot can barely tell the sex of a bear on sight I can't expect you to spot a trans one.

Sorry for getting angry there.

Hello!

Apparently programming the robots from the lab to bring me snacks from the kitchens isn't acceptable.

Nor is having burrowed from the robotics lab down into the kitchens.

My creative endeavours are not being appreciated.

Hello!

It's raining absolute buckets out there. Is it too early to hibernate?

Hello!

How do we feel about me dying my hair red? Like berry red colours? Maybe not all over but just speckles, my muzzle, paws, random patches?

No. I haven't got into the berry storage, why are you asking?

Hello!

It has come to my attention that most people don't know that a Blahaj, despite looking more like a shark, is actually a close relative of the teddy bear. We actually had exchange students.

Even some draft excluders are part of the family but they are hard to hold a conversation with.

Hello!

Remember to turn off the grill when you're done. Just saying.

Hello!

Remember that even if you're not as close to that side of you as us bears, sometimes a good forage for your lunch is just what you need.

Hello!

Planning things is good. Not like having an order that you're going to eat those dozen donuts in. Live in the moment, stuff them in your mouth in whatever order they come to hand. No, like giving yourself something to look forward to. Like those dozen donuts I'm having after lunch.

Hello!

Rest is time well spent, the body needs it to heal and restore itself.

Yes, I am off for another nap.

Hello!

I have discovered if I sit very still on the island in the lake then pigeons and crows and magpies will come and visit me.

But so will geese so I have to take care with it.

Hello!

Look after yourself. Stretch. It's worth it.

Hello!

Hope you're having a good day.

Hello!

This world you humans have made screws up a lot of what you value.

Comforting a friend.

Sharing joy.

Teaching skills.

Supporting each other.

If you can afford the time for them they are a brilliant use of your days. One which leaves everyone feeling better.

That surely has value.

Hello!

I can hear the server room on the floor below doing things. I think @aksan.dev are to blame somehow.

Who do I petition for more sound proofing? Or at least more cushions.

Hello!

I think one day I want to travel again. I've heard good things about Peru.

Hello!

There was a big power cut in the building the other night, and I know some folks worried about me. But it was fine.

I did notice it. It was so disruptive that I woke up from a nap. But I was, and am, okay. Promise.

Egg and cress. It was a good sandwich.

Hello!

Someone in the CVL was going on about a rat stealing their lunch. This is nonsense. The rat clearly asked nicely and explained why they needed the sandwiches. Don't blame the rat for your lack of language skills.

Hello!

I would like to briefly say that shade is a lovely thing. And if someone could move my chair to be in it I would muchly appreciate it.

Success!

Hello!

By the end of today 'bruce.aksan.dev' should point somewhere I'm told. Pretty sure @aksan.dev have let me say this as a way to bully themselves. Poor things.

Hello!

May a productive week for us all begin. I have some ambitions plans, but I think with careful planning of when I snack I can get all the napping in.

Best things to wake up to.

Hello!

Any paw prints in the brownies are something I know nothing about. I don't even know if we have any brownies.

Honest.

Hel-- Nope, going back to bed. Trying again tomorrow.

Hello!

Hope you can all wrap up your weeks in a satisfying way.

I'm not sure these neighbours are compatible with silencers.

Hello!

Do not let your noisy neighbours get in the way of your napping. I find foam to be a great material for this. Just wrap your neighbour in foam and they are much quieter. If they are still noisy, more foam.
