the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

oh yeah, something from the trip that probably @socks and no one else we know will appreciate: while travelling this last week, we were playing our own playlist on shuffle and right as we passed a tiny town called Hamel, Illinois on the highway, the track Silver Will started playing

travelling wasn't really a good idea in the global circumstances but we kinda couldn't avoid it this time

but getting to go to the memphis zoo for the first time in like ten years was kinda nice

also seeing our family's pet cats. we missed them, it's been like two years since we visited home and we've seen our human family when they helped us move and stuff but the cats it's been a long time

oh! and a ringtail too who had two enclosures across the hall from each other and a tunnel connecting them, which was neat

while visiting family over the holidays we went to the zoo and there were so many animals i wanted to pet

especially in the nocturnal exhibit, they had two genets and a binturong and so many adorable bats and

random thought: what names are there that people outside the US parse as very USian?
-F

we need food

but food is hard
-F

the pair of docks of taller ants

did we miss anything

we are finally back to being here, hi

we should be asleep, we need to be up real early to get a plane....

goodnight, see you all in a week or so

the thing we really hate about the centrifugal vs centripetal force thing is that people seem to present it as though they're two words for the same thing but one of them is wrong, which is wrong

they are distinct things, the centrifugal force doesn't exist in a non-rotating reference frame and points away from the center of rotation while the centripetal force points towards the center of rotation (and exists in all reference frames)

it was just brought to our attention that mountain dew is approximately the same color as pickle juice
-F

aaaastress
-F

what exactly is "we live in a society" supposed to mean, anyway
-F

we need to do something about this but doing something about this is itself difficult and we don't have time or spoons for it
-F

also we're going to be away from the 24th to the 29th because we can't really avoid visiting family this year

probably won't be on here during that time
-F

everything is stressful and we keep discovering other ways in which our ongoing burnout is making things hard, today it's that we can barely keep the fridge stocked because going to the grocery store takes too much time and spoons and none of the like three options we have for dinner looks appetizing right now
