Went to get an oil change and didn't have to leave the car, what an odd experience.

Knowing a human being was underneath my vehicle was very no el and a little intimidating

A somewhat accurate doodle of a harrier hawk turning to look at the viewer with exaggerated concern eyes, with the word "concern" above it

I wnjoy when some movie/book/TV show/media mentions a specific day and someone posts the "Happy ____________ Day to those who celebrate"

Ruby the Rabbit is wearing a puffy sleeved dress with small crosses on it. She is looking at Max, who is wearing overalls. Ruby says "Max did you eat batteries again?" Max has a smug/mischievious smile on his face says "....nooooo" In his overall pocket, we can see bulges of battieries.

For some reason had a picture in my mind I had to express, so here's Ruby chastising smug Max for having treats (eating batteries)

Do pidgeons have a "flock mentality" when it comes to alerting each other there are raptors nearby? Maybe the hawks take it a safe dostance away to avoid upsetting possible future meals.

Or maybe don't want other raptors to bother them in busier hunting grounds?

Several times I've had to back up so so F-7000 can actually make a turn into a parking lot.
If I made a stand there's a non-zero chance the guy would just hit me and blame me.

A scientist in a lab coat is sitting on the ground with their head down on their arms. A cardboard sign reads "Will do analytics for food / Anything Helps/ Science Bless" with a scientifically accurate heart. A graduated beaker lies nearby with some change in it.

It took an astouding/bleak amount of time for science to even figure out if animals (and human babies!) feel pain.

I love when people are like "you know what? FUUUUUU-UUCK this specific character in this font" just a fun microdetail and a teensy glimpse into peoples' artistic vision.

Also thanking weather lords for free sky water this blustery evening

...but because I genuinely believe that meeting everyone's basic food, water, housing, and healthcare needs are too important not to try. Not in some distant future, not in tiny incremental steps. This country makes so much money, it's truly fucking embarrassing anyone goes without here. Anyone.

Is that not reason enough for these ghouls?

I feel like any and every things' "curse" could be easily avoided if people were just nicer, or even heartfelt explanations and apologies.
"Cursed artifact" - just put it back
"Mummy's Curse" - don't go in there

What I managed to cobble together and present was good enough to impress the handful of doctorates that attended the presentation, so...all's well I guess?

Autosave doesn't even work sometimes!
Years ago I was polishing my 22 page graduating work/presentation and even though it "auto-saved" the screen went black and erased it from existence, leading to a 2:30 AM crunch session typing it all out again from memory

At the checkout line at a clothing store:
Cashier: "Do you have an awards account with us?"
Me: "no, thank you"
Cashier: "it wouldn't take long, just need your email and phone #"
Me: "I'm alright, thanks"
Cashier: "I'm just trying to save you some money. Do you have a smartphone with you?"
