So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Melting glacier in #France.

Loved by the people who live there (note the blanket in a futile attempt to prevent further melt) but unloved - enough - by the rest of the world to take meaningful action to stop it.

Unloved prompt thoughts... Unloved = human disregard.

But a thing in decay IS loved by the organisms breaking it down, taking it back to ground.

In one way or another, isn't everything loved?

Within the #NevadaCemeteryDistrict - a taxpayer supported operation - we have LOTS of stories about Gold Rush families who lost someone...and here they remained when everyone else returned home to the Midwest or East.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
