Day #139: Fish Police (1992)

A teal lunchbox with a white handle, with an undersea tableau of a city skyline and taxi, with sea creatures dressed in 1940's/50's film noir outfits, including a fish in a trench coat, and devious-looking squid.

tbh the lead mostly comes from soil contamination which is why plant based powder has so much more of it, which implies there's tons of lead in other China sourced soy products too

accidentally got absorbed in reading a chunk of Proust and now I think I might reread it next year... maybe this time in French? last time I was 19 and had never been in a serious relationship, it'll be so fun to revisit now that I'm pushing 40

🪶 In the Ojibwe language, the word for chickadee is gijigijigaaneshiinh. To hear it pronounced (it sounds really cool) visit ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/m...

Um pássaro pequeno de plumagem predominantemente marrom com manchas e listras mais escuras, apresentando tons de castanho e fulvo. O corpo é compacto e arredondado, com um bico curto e fino. A postura é relaxada, com o corpo apoiado. Penas espalhadas ao redor, indicando possível predação. Segurado na boca de um canídeo.
