12.7.25 Moo Deng (Khao Kheow Open Zoo) update - in the evening~was relaxing in her white tub while her parents were busy eating, was a little bouncy, fully moisturized, and unbothered💜

Chocolate panda Qi Zai enjoying some pool time with his birdie friend🤎

Every time Harrison Butker misses a field goal a woman gets her PHD

Butker doinked one off the upright and everyone in KC’s stadium is booing. You very much love to see that.

Nothing makes me happier than when Harrison butker misses a field goal. lol. I get a sick joy from it and I will not apologize. 🤭😂

Looking up at the sky ... hoping for more snow? #QingBao #GiantPandas #DCPandas #NationalZoo

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

This is an excellent read for middle-age #women: "Aging Out of Fucks: The Neuroscience of Why You Suddenly Can’t Pretend Anymore." It's science! substack.com/home/post/p-...

Found Westley snoozing behind the couch cushion. Bold move hiding from Santa’s Naughty List inspection. 🎅🐶😴 If your pet were hiding from Santa, where would they hide for a nap? #dogsofbsky #dogsofbluesky #holidayseason #christmas

12.5.25 Moo Deng (Khao Kheow Open Zoo) update - had a hearty breakfast with mama Jonah, put her leg in the breakfast bowl, was not moisturized or bouncy, and was unbothered💜

FIFA is a joke. It is supposed to represent players and fans of the beautiful game, but it is corrupt organization run by a Trump sycophant. The World Cup should bring together the world in joy and celebration. Instead, FIFA is going out of its way to worship at the alter of authoritarianism.

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

It's a snow day for pandas so here's a look back at Bao Li and Qing Bao playing in the snow the first time I met them (1/12/25). #BaoLi #QingBao #GiantPandas #DCPandas #NationalZoo

Blue got his first real haircut.💙

LOL. Using the tree guard to pull himself up the tree. What a smartie!

Sweet Qing Bao. #QingBao #GiantPandas #DCPandas #NationalZoo

My daughter thinks when The Professor, our foster dog, “does his business”, we should refer to it as “he’s grading papers” or “he’s preparing lecture notes.”

You might be an English major if you see this person's name and are like "Aphra Behn?"

Love me some Aphra Behn! She wrote what I think must be the first love poem in English from a woman to a woman; and it's a corker, too! www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50479/...

A fantastic example of how critical thinking applies across the arts and sciences, something I used to teach in my Freshman English courses. Poetry, metaphors, science.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Qing Bao knows how to make an entrance. #QingBao #GiantPandas #DCPandas #NationalZoo

It's that time of year again

domino wants you to know that she loves you. also if you have a snackie that you’re not eating she will gladly take it off your hands

Bubba went in the pool even though it was cold. It's located closest to visitors. This was after he stared at me right in the eye, flashed a little smile, and then walked into the pool. Bei Bei is truly a heartthrob~ he is still getting used to life at Shenshuping and stays indoors when eating.🤩

Today I was at Shenshuping Panda Base to see the SNZ boys one last time before leaving China~Bei Bei was the highlight of my day. He spent over 1 hour outside with us. Bubba is still charismatic and gave us a show. Seeing him and Cheej on the same day made me realize that they really look alike.😍

Good morning

As a Certified Football Expert™️ I know how to fix the Eagles: 1. Fire the Offensive Coordinator 2. Hire a tackling coach 3. Ask your fans to stop booing after every play because you literally are the reigning Super Bowl champions 4. Score more points 5. Give up less points 6. Win

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Daddy: IS MY WIFE CHEATING W SAINT NICHOLAS? ChatGPT: Great question! Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop from Myra, known for compassion, generosity, and defense of Christian beliefs. He is the historical basis for Santa Claus, and his most famous legend involves secretly railing your wife!

I .. well not fear.. but I'm entirely sure that the smut author community has already explored all of these options. In detail. Including, I'm sure, versions informed by Derrida, Foucault and Judith Butler. i mean it's well establishes that Santa is a performative construct, right?

This is Salem. He waited for his mom to leave the car before stealing her breakfast. Loves the thrill of the hunt. 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: unhingeddogmom)
