Tortoise has made a couple of snail friends. 🐢🐌🐌

you should be able to eat lilacs all year round if you want

one year ago. i still was in my old enclosure but ever so happy to be in a new home

happy birthday marcel!

i got to have fresh picked flowers today. i ate all of the dandelions and most of the violets. also all of the hosta and violet leaves. i didn't eat the sea holly or dandelion leaves though.

“Hush now, be still. Soon you shall be one of us.”

I am pro-shoplifting but anti-talking about it to the New York Times, so this has been a hard day for me.

sometimes you gotta get way up in there

yesterday was a special day for me. 4/21/25 was the day i came home forever. enjoy me chomping my salad.

happy home day for me, friends <3

GRASS TYPE TORTOISES FOR GRASS TYPE PLANTINGS!!!

here are my insides from a long time ago. (the vet said i was "empty" but now i am full of fluids, food, and friendship)

Good morning 🌞

that's a good fish.

today is the end of the first full year with my new weird little family. even though we celebrate me everyday tomorrow i'm going to have THE BEST SALAD and maybe get a few treats too.

I also have historic large buds to share: bsky.app/profile/mcne... 🐢🙌

I'm in some kinda mood

i am seriously the cutest.

The Constitution forbids any “establishment of religion“ by our government. But Christian extremists are hijacking our political system and using our tax money to foist their beliefs on us. It’s an obnoxious assault on American values.

The outcome of the mid-term elections will be determined by what happens in the months ahead—not by how successfully politicians campaign, but rather by the extent to which grassroots resistance makes it impossible for the ruling class to imagine that Trump could continue to advance their interests.

Today is day 132 of the ICE occupation of MN. Zeteo just released a short documentary about the current moment- we love to see media return for a follow up now that Minnesota isn’t in the headlines.

This whole thread is really worth reading, RE: the election in Hungary.

I think people are underestimating how angry people are at the corruption.

it’s so nice today all my greens were foraged!! dandelion & violets ftw!!!

do it, friends, it's delicious.

Bluesky just ruins video quality, but I'm posting this anyway because watching him eat makes me feel very calm, and also you can see a lot of his very fresh hairs and pointy little nubs from this angle that will get worn down before too long. The texture on the inside of his shield claw is so cool!

remember when the lady jeremy owns said ice was going to stand around in the airports and it would be better than them fucking with our neighbors? well it turns out they were still doing that from inside the airport. undoubtedly gaining intel & detaining ppl she said were too poor to fly

today is a lot friends, use your tools. like a sensory station if you have one!

Remember how you felt about people defending their neighbors in Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities around the US? Extend that empathy a bit further, to people Trump is calling animals. It may hurt to stop and think about how much you have in common with those people. That's okay. Let it.

a story (about how photogenic i am) in four parts

even tortoises like me are wild captured and trafficked. based on my traits it's very likely i was born in the wild and ended up in the US in a pet store (rather than being captive bred, as is the only ethical* way to own a reptile...unless you rescue them) efface.eu/sites/defaul...

YESSSSSSSS

do you want to spoon the cholla with me?

we're winning, friends. don't let them tell you otherwise.

did you know that tortoises have been to space and went around the moon much like the spacestronauts are doing now?! we were the first earthlings in space and a part of the crew who captured the first high quality photos of our planet from space!!!

Amazing! I hadn't known about An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children, but now I'm going to ask our library to order it if they don't have it and/or buy a copy for myself.

Just finished @keezyyoung.bsky.social's Hello Sunshine. I'm floored by how much there is in this work. It's full of love, horror, personal growth, enlightenment, and staggeringly great illustrations. Oh, and it's queer as hell 🫶🏼
