Every time I see one, I literally say, out loud, “Oh look, there goes a swastikar.”

So yeah, I concur: women don’t like the vehicle 😂

Sending all my good vibes to the team 🙏

I still think they can do it, but I hope they did some soul searching on that long flight to Seattle.

Hello everyone today we are getting some basic menstruation education! No, actually, MOST mammals do NOT menstruate! With maybe one or two exceptions, only primates shed their uterine lining in a regular cycle.

Other mammals have something called estrus.

Cu'Anam 🎬💻🎮📚 @darqvirtue.bsky.social · 1d

All mammals menstruate. So why would ours make another mammal think something is wrong?

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.

🧵1/10

A festive Thanksgiving dinner table featuring a roasted turkey as the centerpiece, surrounded by an array of dishes including green beans, stuffing, sliced ham, and a pumpkin pie. The table is decorated with pumpkins, sunflowers, candles, and autumnal flowers, with wine glasses and plates set for a meal.

We only got one when we got a zoo membership, and it really has made our trips there so much easier. But I generally agree, outside of very specific use cases.
