my mom said to me "your poor little heart has been through so much" today and it sounds straight out of a literature piece but we were actually describing my health

I'm actually getting emotional about the new American Girl Doll of the Year being from Kansas City AND being Samantha's great granddaughter like what a full circle moment for my childhood

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 💔

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.

this book was gifted to me by a great aunt when I was 8 years old (I question the choice, too) and I've been suffering ever since

everyone complaining about the Wuthering Heights movie being too over the top but like. listen to me. every single character in that book is insufferable and unhinged. the movie may not be accurate but I'm so ready to hate every character with the same passion

I want a Ren Faire where you can exchange money for gold coins at the front like you do for tokens at the farmers market and then go around to the vendors with your pouch of coins
