Love this singer.
On this song, my 7y/o old: if “she wants to be a man” then they just have to say he instead of she.
If “there’s nothing they can do to make her change her mind” they need to say “his mind “

“Kids should be making bread, not slime.” – @echoo00oo.bsky.social

It’s sticky, needs kneading—but they can then bake and eat it, instead of making plastic-y, chemical mess.

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks. "We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges. "When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
