My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they’re certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is “leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired,” versus “leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job,” it’s pretty simple math.

That fortune! Oof, ouch, my self-esteem!

Those ears! 😍 I wonder what it’s like to be able to hear mouse farts and bird burps?

There’s something tricksy about their faces, like maybe they’re the kinda guys who might try to hide extra rows of razor-sharp teeth behind the cute front ones. Big chaotic neutral energy!

They remind me of Flareon! 😍

Can you even imagine how anyone involved felt?!? The exultation and relief of the researchers when they not only didn’t accidentally kill their patient but fixed him, the mind-blowing reality that he can move again as it sinks into the patient’s brain… !!! I cry about every overwhelming emotion, good or bad, and I don’t think I’d be able to stop crying for weeks.

I call this “following from the front,” and some dogs and humans seem to love it, too.

According to this informative video about the “super El Niño” we’re heading into, next year is going to be worse. Less easily dismissed, not that it’ll help. If we get any kind of extreme weather this winter before next year’s even hotter summer, that’ll be fodder for them, too. As we all know, anytime it snows, that proves climate change is a myth. 🙄

The fail whale!! 😍 What a cute and fun way that was to get an error! I had forgotten all about that but knew this image reminded me of something.

OP, this is awesome! The color and texture of the balloons, the expressive pose - it all adds up to something really special. Great work!!
